The Autumn Electronics Fair and electronicAsia opened in Hong Kong with 3,200 exhibitors from 15 countries and regions, featuring AI, robotics and frontier tech. More than 120 robots are on display, and a new Future Industries Zone debuts, backed by Cyberport and other innovation institutions.
The Hong Kong Electronics Fair (Autumn Edition) and electronicAsia opened on Tuesday at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre, drawing 3,200 exhibitors from 15 countries and regions to showcase artificial intelligence, robotics and other frontier technologies.
Organised by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) and MMI Asia Pte Ltd, the twin shows will run for four days, highlighting innovations in consumer electronics, AI, robotics, smart living, immersive entertainment, electronic components and advanced manufacturing.
More than 120 robots are featured at this year's fair, mainly within RoboPark, which includes demonstration and experience zones covering four key areas: Commercial & Services, Industrial & Logistics, Entertainment & Social, and Healthcare & Rehabilitation.
A major highlight is the debut of the Future Industries Zone, led by Cyberport, the Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation and the Hong Kong Productivity Council. The zone focuses on five rapidly developing sectors: Future Computing, Future Manufacturing, Future Marine & Quantum Technologies, Future Microelectronics and Future Wellness.
Exhibitors come from Hong Kong, the Mainland, Macau and Taiwan, as well as Asia-Pacific countries including Korea and Singapore. Participants from Europe and other international markets, such as Denmark, the United Kingdom, Germany, Switzerland, Spain and Cyprus, are also taking part.
Speaking at the opening ceremony for the Future Industries Zone, HKTDC executive director Sophia Chong Suk-fan said the zone reflects the council's commitment to evolving the fairs alongside the industry, while supporting the strategic direction set out in the Policy Address and the First Five-Year Plan to develop Hong Kong into an international innovation and technology centre.
“The HKTDC is one of the core members of the government-led GoGlobal Task Force and we will make good use of one of the world's leading marketplaces to feature the GoGlobal Connect Zone, which offers advisory services and practical support to help enterprises – particularly those from the Chinese Mainland – expand internationally through Hong Kong,” Chong said.
On opening day, the HKTDC organised 130 buying missions involving buyers from 65 countries and regions, reinforcing Hong Kong's role as a hub connecting international markets with innovative supply chains.
