To implement Hong Kong's advantages as an international hub in Science and  Technology, exceptional basic research, and excellence in young scientists and  industrialists, The Hong Kong Young Academy of Sciences and Tencent Charity Foundation are jointly organising a series of young scientists summit named “Young Academy of Sciences Summit (YASS) 2025-2027”. It is funded by the Innovation and Technology Commission of HKSAR. 

Two main Summits, each targeting an audience of around three hundred, will invite eminent young scientists, successful technology professionals, world-renowned  academics, and government officials, to participate and share their knowledge and  insights. The 3rd Summit is planned to be held in December 2025 and the 4th Summit in December 2026.  

Six Sub-Conferences, each targeting a hundred audience, will be held separately to extend the impact of the main Summits. The conference topics will be tailored to technology industries with an edge to develop in Hong Kong, as stated in the Hong Kong Innovation and Technology Development Blueprint. The Sub-Conferences VII-IX will be held tentatively from March to September 2026. And the Sub-Conferences X-XII will be held tentatively from March to September 2027. To extend its reach, the YASS will be live-streamed to the audience in Hong Kong.
