Wealth Club Hong Kong 2026

From June 24 to 27, Raison Wealth Club held its first gathering in Hong Kong, marking its first expansion beyond Europe and Central Asia. Hong Kong became the point where the Eastern philosophy of capital meets the technologies of tomorrow.

The club's focus fell on China's innovation ecosystem: AI, robotics, and next-generation industries, alongside closed sessions with the people shaping the region's investment agenda. A separate block of the program was dedicated to practice and scale. Participants took an exclusive visit to the production facilities of tech giant BYD, explored Leju Robotics' work in humanoid robotics, and met directly with industry leaders.

Over four days, participants stayed at The Peninsula Hong Kong, one of the world's most iconic hotels. The hotel set the tone for the entire program, its atmosphere of exceptional comfort and privacy proving just as important to candid conversations about capital as the content of the sessions themselves.

The Start: Getting to Know Each Other

The program opened with guests arriving in Hong Kong for an informal evening. Participants checked into the hotel, met at the Welcome Reception, and shared dinner together. This soft start has become a club tradition. Before the packed business days ahead, it matters to give people a chance to get acquainted and talk through what they hope to get from the program.

The Conference: USA vs. China

The business program opened with a standout moment: a demonstration by Unitree, one of the leading players in robotics. A representative from the company brought two robots to the conference and put them through their paces for participants.

Andrey Berezin, co-founder of Raison, and Oxana Raim, Business Development Manager for Europe, then walked participants through the company's results over the past year, including deals, IPOs, and the group's growth.

From there, the sessions built on one another, approaching the theme from every angle:

• Andrey Berezin set the overall framework for the day, laying out what the new global investment map looks like in an increasingly multipolar era.
• Andrey Afanasiev, CFO of Raison, spoke about the next generation of family offices.
• Andrey Korotkov, Director at Jebsen Capital and a venture investor across Asian markets, presented the investment case for China, covering the economy, industry, tech clusters, and the state's role.
• Nikolay Klenov, Senior Analyst at Raison, countered with the case for the US, built around the dollar, capital markets, and leadership in AI.
• Denis Kalinin, Head of APAC at Runa Capital, unpacked how China's venture market really works, including its funding structure and the state's role.
• Roman Zorenko, Analyst at Raison, broke down the mechanics of Silicon Valley, from AI to defense tech to space.
• Denis and Roman closed out the venture block with a debate on valuations, upside potential, and risk across both markets.

The business day wrapped with a networking lunch, and the evening brought a trip up to Victoria Peak followed by a gala dinner aboard a luxury yacht, with panoramic views of the harbor and Hong Kong's skyline.

Shenzhen: Factories and Robots

On the third day, the program moved to Shenzhen, one of the world's foremost centers of technological innovation. Participants toured **BYD'**s production facility, the world's largest maker of electric vehicles and energy storage systems, seeing the plant firsthand and putting questions to company representatives about the state of the EV market and BYD's global expansion.

After a business lunch, the program continued with a visit to Leju Robotics, one of the most prominent names in humanoid robotics. The meeting with Leju's team opened up a conversation about where the robotics market is headed and how artificial intelligence is becoming part of it.

Back in Hong Kong that evening, participants gathered for a rooftop cocktail party, closing out an intensive day of technology with informal conversation.

In Lieu of a Conclusion

Raison Wealth Club continues to seek out the regions where the future of capital is taking shape, creating opportunities for investors to speak directly with the people making the decisions. The Hong Kong gathering confirmed once again that the most valuable conversations about the future emerge where different views meet, not where answers are already settled.
