HKTDC’s twin electronics fairs put Hong Kong in pole position

The 46th Hong Kong Electronics Fair (Autumn Edition) and the 29th electronicAsia are set to attract over 3,200 exhibitors from 15 countries and thousands of business visitors from around the globe. These fairs, held concurrently at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre from October 13-16, will showcase the latest in consumer electronics and advanced solutions, with a focus on artificial intelligence (AI), robotics, smart wellness, and NEXTEntertainment.

HKTDC associate executive director Silas Chu emphasized that the fairs align with Hong Kong's strategic goals of consolidating its status as a global trade hub and advancing its development as an international center for innovation and technology. To support these objectives, several new elements will be introduced at this year's fairs, including a Future Industries Zone at the Autumn Electronics Fair, which will demonstrate synergies in I&T ecosystems.

Organized jointly by HKTDC and the Hong Kong Electronic Industries Association, the zone will highlight five key themes: computing, manufacturing, marine and quantum technologies, microelectronics, and wellness. Over 100 exhibitors, such as Lenovo, AV Concept, and GP Energy Tech, will showcase their recent innovations, along with a series of on-site events and forums led by distinguished speakers like Vincent Ma, Clara Chan, and Allen Yeung.

The fairs will also announce the Top 100 Future Industries Pioneer List, a pitching competition for start-ups, and forums dedicated to tech talent development and industry matchmaking. Additionally, a GoGlobal Connect Zone will provide professional services providers to offer guidance on gaining a foothold in global markets, with a focus on encouraging Chinese Mainland-based enterprises to leverage Hong Kong's advantages for overseas expansion.
