15 Dec 2025 CW Team

The collaboration is aimed at accelerating Vizzio’s international expansion while strengthening Hong Kong’s innovation ecosystem and smart city ambitions. By integrating Vizzio’s advanced technologies, the partnership seeks to enhance public safety, urban planning and digital transformation, reinforcing Hong Kong’s position as a global innovation and technology hub.

Vizzio’s proprietary 3D mapping technology delivers clarity of up to 15 centimetres from satellite imagery. Compared with traditional drone-based mapping, the AI-driven solution reduces costs by nearly two-thirds and shortens project timelines by up to five times. Using this approach, mapping Hong Kong’s 1,110-square-kilometre area can be completed in under five days, compared with several months using conventional methods.

Terry Wong, CEO, Hong Kong Science & Technology Parks Corporation, said, “Hong Kong is Vizzio’s springboard for AI and smart city innovation. We offer more than capital or space for innovation. We are a deal-making ground and a launchpad to Asia and the world.”

Jon Lee, Founder and CEO, Vizzio Technologies, said, “Our partnership with HKSTP marks a defining inflection point for Vizzio. With HKSTP’s support, we will scale our platform globally and deliver transformative, measurable impact for enterprises, governments and communities worldwide.”

Vizzio’s solutions, including its Polytron AI cameras and AI-powered security ecosystem, are already deployed across Asia and the Middle East, with projects planned in Europe and the US from 2026, highlighting the partnership’s potential to drive next-generation urban intelligence at scale.
