The annual Hong Kong Electronics Fair (Spring Edition) and International ICT Expo will be held concurrently at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre from 13 to 16 April. Organised by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC), the two fairs will enter their 15th editions to provide an international platform for around 3,500 exhibitors to showcase their latest electronics products and cutting-edge ICT solutions to global buyers. In 2017, the twin fairs welcomed more than 94,000 buyers from 138 countries and regions.
Hong Kong’s electronics industry is the largest merchandise export earner of the territory, reaching US$329 billion in 2017, up nine per cent year on year. As an important electronics trading hub in Asia, Hong Kong is the ideal location to stage influential trade fairs for industry players to explore business opportunities, preview upcoming trends and exchange market intelligence. Benjamin Chau, Deputy Executive Director, HKTDC, said, "HKTDC organises the Spring and Autumn Electronics Fairs in April and October respectively each year to align with the sourcing periods of global buyers. The Hong Kong Electronics Fair (Spring Edition) is the largest spring electronics event in Asia with more than 2,900 exhibitors taking part this year. Held concurrently with the Spring Electronics Fair is the International ICT Expo, featuring some 600 exhibitors to create more cross-sector business opportunities for the industry." Startup zone returns to showcase innovation
Launched at the Spring Electronics Fair and ICT Expo for the first time in 2017, the Startup zone will return to the fairs to feature the latest innovations across different categories such as Apps, IoT, Consumer Tech, eHealth, Robotics and Digital Business.One of the local start-ups from Hong Kong will showcase the wearable electronic Peacify Sock dedicated for babies, which helps monitor the baby’s vital signs such as blood oxygen level, heart rate and body temperature. The collected data can be transferred to the parents’ smartphone in real time and alert them in case of abnormal readings. A Chinese mainland start-up will present a consumer robot, Gomer, which comes with soft hand capable of holding objects in different shapes. The embedded AI algorithm allows Gomer to recogise the user’s face and emotion to provide relevant feedback. It can be used for home monitoring with live video and two-way audio function. A series of themed events will be held to provide an effective platform for start-ups to present their ideas. These include pitching sessions for them to pitch solutions or product ideas to potential investors, buyers and media on the spot. At the mentoring sessions, mentors will help start-ups connect with potential partners at the fairs. There will also be "Startup, Smart Launch" sessions where newly developed technology and products can be introduced to buyers, as well as sharing sessions featuring representatives from successful entrepreneurs and angel investors to share business tips with start-ups.
