This October Hong Kong will once again be hosting Hong Kong Electronics Fair (Autumn Edition) and electronicAsia, which will spotlight smart mobility, smart products for the silver economy as well as digital entertainment, while debuting the Digital Entertainment Experience zone.
Organised by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC), the series of events will offer a glimpse into how technology is rapidly transforming everyday life, with solutions aimed at making cities smarter and more sustainable.
The Electronics Fair (Autumn Edition) and electronicAsia will feature some 3,200 exhibitors from 19 countries and regions. Running across two venues, both trade shows will take place at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (HKCEC) from 13-16 October.
“Technology is reshaping how we live, work and play,” said Jenny Koo, assistant executive Director of the HKTDC. “The exhibitions serve as pivotal platforms for exhibitors to promote their technologies and for buyers to source products and solutions, showcasing Hong Kong as a leading international innovation and technology hub.”

Innovative solutions for living
The 44th edition of the Electronics Fair, themed the World’s Leading Electronics Marketplace, will cover consumer electronics, including smart products and appliances for home and commercial use, audiovisual equipment and the latest tech solutions across more than 20 zones.
The Hall of Fame will showcase more than 500 renowned brands. These include electronics brand TOSHIBA from Japan; CG Mobile from France, which is collaborating with several fashion brands, including GUESS and LACOSTE, to launch mobile accessories; smart fitness and household products brand RENPHO from the US; developer of smart automotive products RoadRover Technology from Mainland China; and consumer electronics brand Momax from Hong Kong.
The Tech Hall will display cutting-edge products and solutions, while the Start-up Zone will feature start-ups, including those nurtured by Hong Kong Science Park and Cyberport, showcasing smart solutions and products designed to address challenges faced by various industries.
Keeping up with technological trends and societal needs, this year’s Electronics Fair will focus on three key areas: digital entertainment, smart mobility and the silver economy.
In line with recent developments in the gaming industry and the trend of wearable technology, the Computing & Gaming Zone will exhibit gaming headsets, keyboards and controllers, while the debut Digital Entertainment Experience Zone will allow visitors to try products that use VR and AR technologies for an immersive experience.

The HKTDC has also incorporated more silver economy elements into this year’s Electronics Fair, in response to a measure proposed in last year’s Policy Address. These include fitness and health products tailored for seniors, with a tag to help buyers identify relevant products.
electronicAsia, jointly organised by the HKTDC and MMI Asia Pte Ltd, will showcase electronic components, keyboards and switches, power supplies, printed circuit boards and electronic manufacturing services, display technology and test and inspection equipment.
The two fairs will also offer forums, seminars and activities. The Symposium on Innovation & Technology on 14 October, jointly organised by the HKTDC and the Hong Kong Electronics & Technologies Association, will feature heavyweight speakers from Arup, ASMPT, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineer, Hong Kong Applied Science and Technology Research Institute and the Hong Kong Polytechnic University.
These experts will discuss the theme When Two Worlds Collide: The Confluence of Digital Twins & Real-Life Applications, exploring how simulations and predictions in the virtual world can enhance decision-making and productivity.
Other events include the Reliability Assurance for Electronic Systems Forum, co-organised by the HKTDC, the Hong Kong Electronic Industries Association and Centre for Advances in Reliability and Safety. The annual Hong Kong Electronic Forum, co-organised by the HKTDC, MMI Asia Pte Ltd and the Hong Kong Electronic Industries Association, will delve into development trends for microelectronics, AI and open-source ecosystems.

Start-ups take the stage
Hong Kong’s thriving start-up scene will also be well represented across the fairs. With a Start-up Zone dedicated to emerging businesses, the fairs provide an essential platform for entrepreneurs to showcase their ideas to potential investors.
A-POP Technology’s Edge AI solutions have multiple applications, such as property management.
From innovative tech solutions to sustainability-driven projects, start-ups will be able to pitch their concepts and participate in investment matching sessions, all while gaining valuable feedback from industry experts.
As part of the HKTDC’s EXHIBITION+ hybrid model, many of these interactions will also take place online via the Click2Match platform, ensuring that businesses from around the globe can engage even if they can’t be in Hong Kong physically.
The online exhibitions for the Electronics Fair (Autumn Edition) and electronicAsia will be held on 6-23 October.
With its finger on the pulse of innovation, the Electronics Fair (Autumn Edition) and electronicAsia are a showcase of how technology is transforming not just industries, but the way we live, work and interact with the world around us.
