One hundred students from 45 schools will be on a visit to the headquarters of major mainland tech companies as they embark on a five-day trip to Hangzhou organised by RTHK as part of its annual summer programme Solar Project.

Led by Director of Broadcasting Angelina Kwan, the students will gain insights into development trends and applications of artificial intelligence, inspiring them to think about how AI can assist in societal development through visits to various innovative technology enterprises.

Speaking before taking a high-speed train from West Kowloon station, Kwan said this year's event focuses on artificial intelligence and that the group will visit cultural-related attractions and facilities to understand the latest developments in the country and gain a deeper understanding of the nation's new progress.

Alibaba, BrainCo and Unitree Robotics are among the mainland tech firms that the group will visit.

They will also tour the National Archives of Publications and Culture in Hangzhou and explore the town of Wuzhen.

They will take part in workshops and discussions at Hangzhou Normal University and Yew Wah International Education School of Tongxiang, and a series of experiential workshops that combine artificial intelligence with media, including the "AI Tech Startup Experience Day Camp" in collaboration with Cyberport and local startups, as well as the "AI Broadcasting Production Application and Public Speaking Skills Workshop" organised by RTHK.
