With only 10 seconds, not only can your voice be cloned, but it can mimic your tone and even change your lip movements to match those of foreign languages when translating… On 14 November, the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau Greater Bay Area youth innovation and entrepreneurship base achievement showcase is featured in the hi-tech fair. Led by young entrepreneur Patrick Lam, Hong Kong Zyetric Technologies invented Zhowcase, a real-time facial translation SaaS that is paving its way to be the go-to tool for short drama exports.
A representative from Zyetric introduced that this generative AI real-time facial translation SaaS platform can accurately translate the content spoken by the speaker in the video to 32 languages, and match the speaker’s voice, tone, and facial expressions in the original video. As a result, translation could be done with low costs and high efficiency, and can potentially be the go-to tool for short drama exports in the future.
The Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau Greater Bay Area youth innovation and entrepreneurship base achievement showcase featured 10 innovation and entrepreneurship projects from 10 Hong Kong and Macau young entrepreneurs. Apart from Zhowcase’s facial translation platform, the showcase also featured Pan Jie led Skyland Innovation, where they showcased their real-time color 3D reconstruction equipment. This equipment is equipped with their proprietary Metacam, which enables model acquisition, real-time preview and model generation, which can be widely used in intelligent construction, smart city, virtual reality and other fields. Apart from this, over 20 projects including the A300 drone, ultrasonic water level meter, and personal dose alarm were featured in this achievement showcase. Young entrepreneur Perry Tang said it was his first time joining the hi-tech fair, focusing on showcasing breakthroughs in innovation and gaining access to more social resources. He is very grateful for the opportunities and platform provided by the human resources and social security department.
To help Hong Kong and Macau young entrepreneur projects successfully start operations in China and go to market, the event also offers pitching, product promotion, and resource matching opportunities. Shenzhen’s Yi Chuang Technologies Limited and Foshan’s Zyetric Technologies Limited were the two recommended projects that represented at the “Guangdong Technology Release No.30” project pitching event, where they connected and interacted with venture capital firms. Representatives from entrepreneurship projects said that as a startup, being able to use this high-standard and professional exhibition as a stepping board to connect with financial firms, expand sources of funding, and accelerate transformation of innovation results gives them more motivation to do their very best in their entrepreneurship journey.
According to sources, this hi-tech fair is organized by the human resources and social security department of Guangdong province and undertaken by the Shenzhen municipal human resources and social security bureau, and the fair lasts for 3 days between 14 November and 16 November. Through visuals and text, product showcases, interactions, and product pitching, the fair showcases the achievements of the Guangdong province’s “1+12+N” Hong Kong and Macau Youth Innovation and Entrepreneurship Base, the service achievements of the 13 key Youth Innovation and Entrepreneurship Bases, and the innovation achievements of the 10 representative Hong Kong and Macau youth innovation and entrepreneurship projects.
This exhibition is a centralized promotion of the province's “1+12+N” Hong Kong and Macao youth innovation and entrepreneurship bases. “1” is the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau Innovation and Entrepreneurship base, which provides Hong Kong and Macau youths with full-cycle, full-chain, and full day business incubation and nurturing services, which has become the leader and benchmark of Hong Kong and Macau youth innovation and entrepreneurship bases within the province. “12” is the key bases led by nine cities in the Pearl River Delta, which provides Hong Kong and Macau young entrepreneurs with a one-stop service integrating interaction and exchange, training, practical training, incubation, exhibition and resource matching. “N” refers to specialized bases built by social forces.
