Hong Kong – 3Business, the corporate brand of Hutchison Telecommunications (Hong Kong) Limited, has partnered with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to launch an AI marketplace offering more than 60 solutions from global technology providers.
The platform is designed to help large enterprises and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) identify, adopt and manage AI tools through a single service. It also offers streamlined billing and a monthly subscription model intended to lower the barriers to AI adoption.
The marketplace covers business needs across retail, logistics, hospitality, food and beverage, professional services, property management, construction and education. Available solutions include omnichannel platforms, AI chatbots, marketing tools, video analytics and AI-powered teaching applications, alongside products tailored specifically for SMEs.
“HTHK is committed to helping enterprises accelerate digital transformation by combining advanced network capabilities with innovative technologies. Leveraging our extensive experience in delivering innovative enterprise solutions, we are delighted to be the first to collaborate with AWS to launch the enterprise-grade 3Business AI Marketplace, bringing together a curated selection of global AI solutions tailored for the local market and backed by local support,” said Raymond Ho, Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer of Hutchison Telecommunications Hong Kong Holdings Limited.
“Through a single platform, customers can more easily select the AI applications best suited to their business need. Recognising that many enterprises face challenges such as limited technical expertise and resources when adopting AI, we have introduced a flexible monthly subscription model to lower the barrier to adoption.
Supported by local technical expertise and a deep understanding of the local business landscape, the platform enables enterprises to integrate AI into their day-to-day operations more quickly and drive their AI transformation journey,” Ho continued.
“We are excited to work with 3Business to bring proven AWS technologies to more Hong Kong businesses and accelerate their AI transformation. Over the past two decades, AWS has built the broadest, most secure, and most reliable cloud infrastructure, and today we are extending that capability into the era of agentic AI,” said Chris So, Managing Director of AWS Hong Kong.
“The biggest challenge enterprises face in adopting AI often lies not in the technology itself, but in how quickly they can find the right solution for their business and deploy it securely. By combining the 3Business AI Marketplace with the strengths of AWS, we are bringing leading AI solutions together on a single platform, backed by local professional technical support so that businesses in Hong Kong, especially SMEs, can embed AI into their daily operations at a lower barrier and a faster pace,” So continued.
The 3Business Empower team will provide local pre-sales and post-sales support, including needs assessments, solution design, deployment, integration, staff training and round-the-clock technical assistance. Team members hold AWS Certified AI Practitioner credentials, according to the companies.
The support services are intended to help businesses integrate AI applications into existing operations while addressing potential gaps in technical expertise and resources.
