InnoEX and the Hong Kong Electronics Fair Gather global technology experts, with AI+ and robotics in the spotlight
InnoEX, jointly organised by the Innovation,
Technology and Industry Bureau (ITIB) of the HKSAR Government and the Hong Kong
Trade Development Council (HKTDC), officially opens today. Under the
theme “Innovate •
Automate • Elevate”, the exhibition is held alongside the
HKTDC’s Hong Kong
Electronics Fair (Spring Edition) (EFSE) for four
consecutive days at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre. The two
flagship technology fairs bring together leading global I&T solutions,
artificial intelligence (AI) technologies and cutting-edge electronic products.
A series of forums, seminars, business-matching sessions, and networking events
will also be held, aligning with the National 15th Five-Year Plan and the
I&T development directions outlined in the Hong Kong Government’s latest
Budget. The fairs attract technology enterprises, start-ups and buyers from
around the world to explore collaboration and business opportunities.
Jenny Koo, Deputy
Executive Director of the HKTDC, said: “The HKTDC is committed
to building world-class business platforms that foster cross-regional,
cross-industry and cross-sector collaboration, highlighting Hong Kong’s
international and innovation strengths. This year, InnoEX and
the EFSE bring
together over 2,800 exhibitors from 27 countries and regions, showcasing AI+
driven innovations and advanced electronic products. Robotics technology is a
major highlight. We have newly launched the ‘RoboPark’ which
brings together technology companies from Hong Kong, the Chinese Mainland and
overseas to showcase over 100 robots across diverse application scenarios. This
facilitates cross-regional exchange, industrial collaboration and innovative
applications, accelerating Hong Kong’s development as an international I&T
hub and aligning with opportunities under the National 15th Five-Year Plan.”
The newly launched “RoboPark” spans
both InnoEX and the EFSE and features a strong line-up of exhibitors. Four of
the world’s top five best-selling humanoid robot manufacturers are
participating, including AgiBot, Unitree (one of “Hangzhou’s Six Little
Dragons”), UBTECH and EngineAI (both among “Shenzhen’s Eight Great Guardians of
Embodied Intelligence”). Four additional members of the “Shenzhen’s Eight Great
Guardians of Embodied Intelligence”, including AI² Robotics, LimX Dynamics,
PaXini and Digit Robotics, are also exhibiting. Unitree (Booth:
3CON-E01) will present the first launch outside the Chinese Mainland for its
next-generation quadruped robot dog, Unitree A2, capable of running at up to 5
m/s and climbing to a height of up to 1 m. The robot is equipped with
ultra-wide-angle LiDAR which enables real-time 3D perception and environmental
recognition. Designed for commercial and industrial applications, the robot can
withstand a 100 kg adult jumping on its back and can also operate stably across
complex terrain like gravel.
RoboPark
also features companies based in Hong Kong. Rice Robotics (Booth:
3CON-J07) presents autonomous robots designed to perform repetitive building
and office operations, including delivery, cleaning, disinfection and patrol
security. Powered by proprietary navigation technology and integrated with
lifts and access control systems, these robots enable fully autonomous
operations and are in wide adoption by enterprises in Japan such as SoftBank,
7-Eleven Japan and Mitsui Fudosan. International exhibitors from the United
Kingdom, Israel, the Philippines and Singapore will also participate to
showcase the latest robotics innovations. Some 40 events will be held in the
zone, including application sharing sessions, live demonstrations and
interactive showcases, to help Chinese Mainland enterprises expand globally
while providing an exchange platform for both Hong Kong and overseas companies
to explore collaboration opportunities in different markets.
This year’s InnoEX features over 550 exhibitors from 21 countries
and regions, with first-time participation from Austria, Germany, Hungary,
Israel, Kazakhstan, the Netherlands, the Philippines and the United States,
reflecting strong global recognition of Hong Kong’s I&T platform. Chinese
Mainland participation remains strong, with 18 delegations from 17 provinces
and cities, including Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen. The Director
General of the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO), Dr Gerd Müller, will also lead a delegation to attend, underscoring Hong
Kong’s role in promoting global I&T collaboration and new
industrialisation. The exhibition focuses on five key areas: AI+, Robotics, Low-altitude
Economy, PropTech and RetailTech.
