Chief Executive John Lee said on Wednesday he had exchanges with six Hangzhou start-ups and welcomed them to expand in Hong Kong.
On the second day of his visit to Zhejiang province, Lee went to the Hangzhou Future Sci-Tech City Urban Exhibition Hall in the morning.
In a social media post, the chief executive said the exhibition hall showcased the achievements of six Hangzhou start-ups, nicknamed the Six Little Dragons.
Lee said he had exchanges with representatives of the six start-ups, including discussions over their future collaboration with Hong Kong.
He thanked the companies for supporting the SAR's innovation and technology development and welcomed them to set up or expand in the city and cooperate with Hong Kong enterprises and organisations.
The chief executive visited one of the Six Little Dragons, BrainCo, on Wednesday morning to learn about high-tech products such as smart bionic arms and legs.
In the afternoon, he visited another leading start-up, Unitree Robotics, during which its CEO, Wang Xingxing, said there will be more cooperation opportunities with Hong Kong in the future.
"[Lee] had a look at many of our products, including some which have not been launched yet," Wang said.
"He looked at our robot dogs, humanoid robots and boxing robots."
Lee also wrote that he visited the First Affiliated Hospital of the Zhejiang University School of Medicine to learn about the operation of a smart hospital and the use of artificial intelligence for clinical diagnoses.
