Hong Kong Technology Fairs to Showcase AI, Robotics and Smart Lighting Innovations

The Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) is organizing four major technology fairs in October that will feature more than 6,200 exhibitors from 27 countries and regions, showcasing cutting-edge innovations in artificial intelligence, robotics, and smart lighting technologies. These events come at a pivotal moment as Hong Kong positions itself as a hub for technological innovation, following recent policy announcements by the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region government promoting AI as a core industry for future development.

The Hong Kong Electronics Fair (Autumn Edition) and electronicAsia will run concurrently from October 13 to 16 at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre, featuring more than 3,200 exhibitors. The fairs will highlight AI and robotics applications through special zones like RoboPark, which will showcase robots for commercial, rehabilitation, and living applications. Notable exhibits include DEEP Robotics' X30 Quadruped Robodog for inspection and search-and-rescue operations, and BrainCo's Revo2 bionic dexterous hand that simulates natural human hand movements. PaXini Tech will present a humanoid robot with advanced tactile sensing and AI vision, demonstrating breakthroughs in perception and execution capabilities.

The electronics fairs will feature more than 20 exhibition zones, including the newly added RISE Avenue for emerging electronic technology brands and the Adventure Hub showcasing local start-ups converting classic fuel cars to electric vehicles. The Hall of Fame zone will include more than 500 world-renowned electronic brands, with first-time exhibitors like Japanese brand AIWA presenting smart audio products. The events will include the 10th Symposium on Innovation & Technology, exploring robotics applications across land, sea, and air, and the Hong Kong Electronic Forum discussing advanced battery technology and energy storage.

Following the electronics events, the Hong Kong International Lighting Fair (Autumn Edition) and Hong Kong International Outdoor and Tech Light Expo will take place from October 27-30 and October 28-31 respectively, featuring approximately 3,000 exhibitors. The lighting fairs will showcase products used in globally renowned projects, including LED drivers and fixtures applied at Gardens by the Bay in Singapore and lighting control systems used at the Sanxingdui Museum and BBC's London headquarters. The Hall of Connected Lighting will bring together 60 top-tier brands, including international names like Casambi from Finland and Signify from the Netherlands.

Exhibitors will present award-winning designs such as Moorgen's smart switch developed with designer Chi Wing-lo, which won the German iF Design Award and can control lighting, curtains, music, and air conditioning simultaneously. Mainland company Bweetech will showcase its Fluorite lamp, inspired by airplane windows and winner of the MUSE Design Award, while Filmbase Tech will present 3D media glass that transforms building facades into dynamic displays using only one-quarter of the energy of traditional screens.
