Hosting over 4,000 exhibitors.
The annual Hong Kong Electronics Fair opened its doors at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre on Thursday. The Fair is host to over 4,200 exhibitors, in conjunction with electronicAsia. This year’s highlights include smart technology, virtual reality and wearable electronics. The Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) has organised more than 140 buyers to represent more than 12,000 global buyers from over 8,000 companies to the two fairs.
This year’s Electronics Fair debuted the Tech Hall to cater virtual reality and start up zones, smart tech, robotics and unmanned tech, as well as 3D printing. The startup zone has approximately 50 companies from Hong Kong, Canada, Chinese mainland, Taiwan and the US.
Meanwhile, the new virtual reality zone showcases a range of VR headsets and video cameras. Launched last year, the smart tech and robotics and unmanned tech zones offer robots with IoT technology, luggage tracking bands, drones and electric scooters.
The Electronics Fair also provides insights into market trends through a symposium on innovation and technology with the Hong Kong Electronics and Technologies Association. Representatives from the world’s leading companies including Tesla, Amazon Web Services, HP and Qualcomm, shared their expertise on smart technology and IoT trends.
