An essential part of the Francophonie Festival in Hong Kong, the Interuniversity Speech Contest of Hong Kong and Macau will take place on Saturday, March 7th, 2026, at the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK).

Contestants will imagine the future and discuss the potential danger of artificial intelligence.
