Turing Award and Fields Medal Winners Explore Scientific Discoveries and Future Intelligence with Global AI Frontiers

Hong Kong – On December 16 and 17, 2026, the Masters of Abstraction & AI4SCI Summit will take place in Hong Kong.

This summit is initiated by the Heidelberg Laureate Forum (HLF) and jointly hosted by Laureates City and Symbiosis Science, with ACM (Association for Computing Machinery) and IMU (International Mathematical Union) as supporting partners, gathering Turing Award and Fields Medal winners, top scientists, AI founders and technology builders, leaders in the technology industry, sovereign funds and long-term capital, as well as policymakers and the new generation of young scientists.

A major highlight of this event is the simultaneous presentation of three significant international platforms in mathematics and computer science: HLF, ACM, and IMU. Centered around AI for Science, the event will also extend to Turing Award-themed exhibitions, a Gala Dinner, and the Symbiosis Rising Minds program aimed at the next generation of scientific talent, creating a multi-layered exchange scenario from top scientific ideas, cutting-edge AI topics to public science communication, young talent, and long-term collaboration.

As artificial intelligence begins to participate in scientific hypotheses, experimental design, drug development, and materials discovery, as large models, chips, data centers, and energy systems gradually become new technological infrastructures, the boundaries between scientific discovery and artificial intelligence are being redefined.

As AI begins to participate in scientific discovery itself, how will humanity redefine science and intelligence?

HLF, ACM, IMU: Three Major International Scientific Platforms Presenting Together in Hong Kong

One of the most significant features of Masters of Abstraction & AI4SCI Summit 2026 is the international scientific community connected behind it.

The Heidelberg Laureate Forum (HLF), established by the Klaus Tschira Foundation in 2013, is one of the most influential intergenerational scientific exchange platforms in mathematics and computer science globally. Every year, approximately 200 outstanding young researchers from around the world engage in in-depth exchanges with top mathematicians and computer scientists in Heidelberg, Germany.

ACM (Association for Computing Machinery), founded in 1947, is one of the most influential professional organizations in computer science and is the awarding institution for the A.M. Turing Award.

IMU (International Mathematical Union), founded in 1920, is one of the core international organizations promoting global mathematical cooperation and development, hosting the International Congress of Mathematicians (ICM) every four years and awarding the Fields Medal.

The three international platforms collectively connect important scientific networks from fundamental mathematics, computer science to artificial intelligence. Their presentation together in Hong Kong will further promote the connection between the world's top scientific community and the AI industry, technology capital, and the new generation of talent in Asia.

From Turing Award and Fields Medal to AI for Science

Unlike traditional academic forums, the Masters of Abstraction & AI4SCI Summit 2026 does not stop at discussing mathematics and computer science. This summit will extend its themes to AI for Science, which is rapidly changing the global technological landscape.

In recent years, artificial intelligence has gradually shifted from being a “support tool” to becoming core to scientific research processes. From protein structure prediction and drug development to discovering new materials, energy systems, advanced manufacturing, and scientific computing, AI is starting to participate in increasingly complex research processes.

At the same time, AI itself is also becoming a new infrastructure, forming an increasingly clear technology and industrial chain:

Science → Models → Compute → Energy → Industry → Capital

Masters of Abstraction & AI4SCI Summit 2026 will focus on this transformation, setting six core topics: foundational science of intelligence, AI-enabled scientific exploration, cutting-edge large models and agents, sovereign computation and energy, future economy and strategic capital, carbon-neutral development and green intelligence.

AI × Computing Power × Energy: The Next Infrastructure Competition

As the scale of foundational models continues to grow, the AI industry’s demand for chips, data centers, and power systems is rapidly increasing. Computing power is no longer just a technical issue, gradually becoming a strategic infrastructure affecting national AI competitiveness, energy security, and industrial development.

On the other hand, AI is also reversing the changes in the energy system. Machine learning is entering fields such as smart grids, energy scheduling, energy storage, new materials, carbon management, and industrial emissions reduction, gradually forming a new industrial chain with “dual carbon”:

AI → Compute → Energy → Carbon → Green Industry → Capital

Therefore, this summit will not only discuss “what is the next step for large models,” but will also address a more long-term question: who will build the next generation of infrastructure in the AI era?

Scientists, AI Builders, and Long-Term Capital at the Same Table

Another important design of Masters of Abstraction & AI4SCI Summit 2026 is to break down the long-standing boundaries between science, industry, and capital. The summit plans to bring together not just Turing Award and Fields Medal winners but also global AI founders and technology leaders who are building the next generation of foundational models, agents, robots, and AI infrastructure, alongside sovereign funds, global asset management, family offices, VC/PE, and long-term technology capital.

Those who define future scientific problems;

Those who build the next generation of intelligent systems;

Those who allocate capital for the next decade.

This also constitutes an important feature that distinguishes Masters of Abstraction & AI4SCI Summit from ordinary AI conferences and traditional scientific meetings.

Turing Award Themed Exhibition: Bringing Ideas That Changed Computer Science to the Public

In addition to the two-day summit, the Masters of Abstraction & AI4SCI Summit 2026 also plans to present a Turing Award-themed exhibition in Hong Kong.

The exhibition will revolve around the context of the Turing Award and the development of computer science, showcasing key figures and ideas that have shaped modern computer science and artificial intelligence through images of scientists, personal stories, significant scientific achievements, and relevant historical materials.

If the summit discusses the future of artificial intelligence, the exhibition aims to further help the public understand: what scientific thoughts and explorations by generations of scientists today’s artificial intelligence is built upon.

This section will continue the presentation method of thematic exhibitions connecting science, the city, and the public, ensuring that top science does not just happen at the conference venue but also enters urban spaces in a more public manner.

From the scientific contributions of Turing Award winners to how computer science gradually approaches today’s era of artificial intelligence, the exhibition will form an important part of the Masters of Abstraction & AI4SCI Summit, connecting scientific history, future intelligence, and public science communication.

Gala Dinner: A Deep Exchange Venue for Science, AI, and Global Capital

During the summit, the Masters of Abstraction Gala Dinner will be held at Conrad Hong Kong, providing a more intimate exchange space for core guests from the scientific community, AI industry, and global capital fields.

Compared to the daytime summit agenda, the Gala Dinner will create a more private high-level exchange space, connecting world-class scientists, AI company leaders, sovereign capital, family offices, industry leaders, and representatives from important institutions.

The dinner will focus on exchanges around AI × Science × Sovereign Capital, creating deeper connection opportunities for core participants from science, technology, industry, and capital through a welcome reception, special dialogues, and dinner interactions.

Discussions by day about the future, and at night truly connecting those who can create the future together.

From Top Scientists to the Next Generation of Rising Minds

Aside from gathering scientists who have already changed the world, this summit will also turn its attention to the next generation of scientific talent yet to be discovered.

Following its launch in Singapore, the Symbiosis Rising Minds program will further continue and promote in Hong Kong.

The program targets global young scientific talent, hoping to invite world-class scientists and professors to jointly propose important scientific questions for the future, seeking young people with original thinking abilities and long-term research potential on a global scale, and through international scientist networks, intergenerational exchanges, and long-term research support, help them continue to explore truly important questions that may not yet have received adequate attention.

Unlike traditional competitions, Rising Minds focuses not on “who can provide the standard answer the fastest,” but rather on:

Who can propose new questions?

Who has different ways of thinking compared to existing paths?

Who might become the next generation of true changers in science?

This makes the Masters of Abstraction & AI4SCI Summit not just a two-day international summit but a long-term entry point for discovering and connecting the next generation of scientific talent.

Hong Kong: Connecting Global Science, Chinese Technology, and International Capital

The choice of Hong Kong for the summit is closely related to the technology role that Hong Kong is forming. On one hand, Hong Kong connects global universities, scientific communities, international institutions, and capital markets; on the other hand, it maintains close ties with AI companies, advanced manufacturing, technology industries, and the innovation ecosystem of the Greater Bay Area in mainland China.

As global AI competition gradually shifts from single-model competition to systematic competition in science, computing power, energy, industry, and capital, Hong Kong possesses unique conditions to become a connecting node between international technological resources and China's innovative industries.

From the three major international scientific platforms presenting together, to the Turing Award-themed exhibition, AI4SCI Summit, Gala Dinner, and Rising Minds, Masters of Abstraction & AI4SCI Summit hopes to use Hong Kong as a connection point to establish a longer-term global dialogue window on science and artificial intelligence.

Establishing a Long-Term Scientific Network from One Summit

Masters of Abstraction & AI4SCI Summit 2026 will connect science, artificial intelligence, industry, the public, and long-term capital through keynote speeches, thematic roundtables, fireside chats, closed-door exchanges, thematic exhibitions, and high-end dinners over two days and related activities.

However, its longer-term goal is not limited to holding one meeting. Centered on AI for Science, the summit aims to gradually establish an international collaboration network connecting top global scientists, AI companies, young talents, industrial resources, and long-term capital.

From world-class scientific communities to the next generation of AI builders; from mathematics and computer science to life sciences, materials, energy, and industry; from scientific discovery to public science communication, computing infrastructure, and long-term capital—a new technological era is forming at the intersection of these forces.

The future will not be built by science, artificial intelligence, or capital alone. It will be built where they converge.
