HKTDC Associate Executive Director Silas Chu said: “The Hong Kong SAR Government’s latest Policy Address and first Five-Year Plan underscore the importance of consolidating and enhancing Hong Kong’s status as an international trade centre, expediting the city’s development into an international innovation and technology (I&T) centre and advancing the adoption and development of AI. In support of these strategic directions, the HKTDC is introducing several new elements at this year’s October fairs, including a new Future Industries Zone at the Autumn Electronics Fair, expanded showcases and business-matching opportunities for AI and robotics technologies to help companies connect with funding, talent, technology and international markets. A dedicated GoGlobal Connect Zone will also be set up at the venue to provide advisory services for businesses, encouraging more Chinese Mainland enterprises to leverage Hong Kong as a platform for expanding into international markets. The two lighting fairs, meanwhile, will focus on key industry trends related to smart connectivity, healthy living, immersive spatial experiences and sustainability.”
