Sydney's tech startups can be in the front running to do business with China, according to influential business leader, Nina Xiang.
Hong Kong-based Ms Xiang, co-founder of China Money Network, an artificial intelligence-based platform tracking China's technology investments and innovation, will share industry insights as part of the City of Sydney's visiting entrepreneur program in April.
"China is certainly the new superpower of AI, and Chinese investors are always interested in cross-border tech startup opportunities," Ms Xiang said.
"The great schools, educational systems and talent pool you have locally creates a lot of areas for co-operation."
Lord Mayor Clover Moore said the City's latest series of talks, mentoring sessions and workshops from international business leaders are designed to help local startups grow into global businesses.
"With their knowledge and expertise, visiting entrepreneurs from Asia will join forces with local tech leaders to explore the opportunities presented by the fast-changing world of artificial intelligence as it impacts on business, government and the community," the Lord Mayor said.
"We're proud to host this innovative program, held twice a year, in collaboration with more than 50 partner organisations from our local startup community and the federal government."
Ms Xiang will take part in the program's launch event, CityTalks Sydney: Our future with Artificial Intelligence and its rise in China, on Tuesday 9 April at Sydney Town Hall.
She will also present a talk, 'How far ahead is China in AI, and why? on Thursday 11 April at Sydney Startup Hub and join the Asialink insights series panel discussion, 'AI in Asia' on Friday 12 April.
