International Lighting Fair and debut International Outdoor and
Tech Light Expo to be held in late October
HONG KONG, Oct 5, 2016 - (ACN Newswire) - The
annual Hong Kong Electronics Fair (Autumn Edition) and
electronicAsia will be held at the Hong Kong Convention and
Exhibition Centre (HKCEC) from 13 to 16 October. The 36th
Electronics Fair (Autumn Edition) is organised by the Hong Kong
Trade Development Council (HKTDC), while the 20th electronicAsia is
jointly organised by the HKTDC and MMI Asia Pte Ltd.
Also this month, the 18th Hong Kong International Lighting Fair
(Autumn Edition) (27-30 October) and the inaugural Hong Kong
International Outdoor and Tech Light Expo (26-29 October) will take
place at the HKCEC and AsiaWorld-Expo respectively. Both events are
organised by the HKTDC.
"Facing global economic uncertainties, Hong Kong's exporter
confidence is stabilising, according to the HKTDC's latest Export
Index for the third quarter of 2016, but exporters remain
pessimistic about their performance in the near-term," said
Benjamin Chau, Acting Executive Director, HKTDC.
"The HKTDC is strengthening the content of our trade fairs to help
exporters reach more buyers and compete for orders. We also see
that the electronics and lighting industries are taking measures to
raise their competitiveness by developing products with new
technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), virtual reality
(VR) and augmented reality (AR) to stand out from the crowd and
grasp business opportunities."
Electronics Fair's Tech Hall features new Virtual Reality and
Startup zones
As the world's largest electronics marketplace, the Electronics
Fair (Autumn Edition) and electronicAsia will feature more than
4,100 exhibitors from 29 countries and regions. At this year's
Electronics Fair, the debut Tech Hall at the Convention Hall
comprises five thematic zones: the two new zones of Virtual Reality
(VR) and Startup, as well as Smart Tech, Robotics & Unmanned
Tech and 3D Printing. While facilitating buyers to source a wide
range of high tech electronic products, industry players will also
be able to explore investment and partnership opportunities in a
range of technologies developed by new startups.
The Virtual Reality (VR) zone will showcase the latest products and
applications, including technologies related to video games and
videos as well as 3D cameras. A Hong Kong exhibitor will present a
VR drone that is designed to create aerial 360-degree videos.
Capable of capturing full and uninterrupted spherical videos around
the drone, the VR drone offers professional grade equipment for
creating VR videos.
Reflecting the growing number of startups in Hong Kong, the new
Startup zone will gather close to 50 startups from Hong Kong,
Canada, the Chinese mainland, Taiwan and the United States to
showcase creative technologies and ideas. A local startup has
developed a smart baby bottle accessory, along with their
self-developed app, which is able to automatically log, analyse and
monitor a baby's feeding habits. Another local startup will
showcase a full-colour 3D printer that uses CMYK blending
technology, where four different colour filaments are mixed
together to create sharper colour tones.
The HKTDC is also organising a series of events to help startups
meet with potential business partners and exchange ideas with
industry players. These include the "First Step of Your Startup
Project" seminar, which features a representative from the US
crowdfunding platform Indiegogo, a pitching session where startups
can pitch solutions or product ideas to potential investors,
sharing on startup success stories from entrepreneurs, and product
launch demos.
The Smart Tech and Robotics & Unmanned Tech zones launched last
year will return to display the latest creative electronic products
and future technologies including robots with IoT technology,
drones and electric scooters. Meanwhile, the 3D Printing zone will
feature 3D printers and related materials and technology.
Held concurrently with the Electronics Fair, electronicAsia is an
important sourcing platform for electronic components and
technologies. One of the highlight zones is World of Display
Technology, which will present products such as a LCD display
suitable for outdoor applications under direct sunlight. The
product features a wide-viewing angle, high-resolution display and
can also be used as a touch-screen panel.
electronicAsia also showcases other components such as printed
circuit boards, keyboards, switches and integrated circuits. Other
exhibits include parts, modules and technology for solar and
photovoltaic energy, as well as key components for smart devices,
providing mobile device manufacturers with display lights, smart
switch modules and more.
Experts discuss Smart Tech and IoT development trends
As smart devices and IoT technology continue to gain more
attention, the HKTDC is nurturing these trends by jointly
organising the Symposium on Innovation & Technology with the
Hong Kong Electronics & Technologies Association on the first
day of the Electronics Fair (13 October). Representatives from the
world's leading tech companies including Tesla Motors, Amazon Web
Services, HP and Qualcomm will gather and discuss smart tech and
IoT trends.
Other seminars will focus on investigating hot-button issues in the
electronics sector such as VR, AR, wearable technology and
integrated circuits among other industry developments.
For the first time, TEDxHong Kong will take place on the third day
of the Electronics Fair (15 October). TED, which stands for
"Technology, Entertainment, Design", is a stage for thought leaders
from various sectors to share their inspiring stories, ideas and
insights. Meanwhile, the award-winning companies of the Electronic
Industries Award 2016, jointly organised by the HKTDC and Hong Kong
Electronic Industries Association, will present their work during
the fair period.
Lighting Fair matches market needs with LED and green lighting
The Hong Kong International Lighting Fair (Autumn Edition) will
welcome a record-breaking number of more than 2,600 exhibiting
companies from 37 countries and regions to display the latest
technology, creative concepts and product lines. The Lighting Fair
(Autumn Edition) will be held from 27 to 30 October with companies
from Canada, Hungary, Ukraine and the United Arab Emirates taking
part for the first time.
A fair highlight, Hall of Aurora will feature more than 500 brands,
gathering top-quality lighting products from such brands as BJB,
Citizen, EGLO, Lumileds, Neo-Neon and Megaman. As the demand for
energy-efficient lighting grows, LED lighting products continue to
drive the market. The LED & Green Lighting zone welcomes more
than 1,000 exhibitors, enabling designers and manufacturers to
display the latest green technology and designs to meet buyer
demand for LED and green lighting products. The Lighting Fair
(Autumn Edition) presents various green and innovative products,
including a Hong Kong exhibitor showcasing a Floating Bulb that has
an oak base and a LED bulb. It uses magnetic floating and wireless
induction technologies that make the bulb levitate and rotate 360
degrees at the same time. The bulb can be turned on by gently
touching the base.
A series of seminars will also be organised with experts sharing
the latest market information and analysing industry trends. A
seminar on The Latest Development of Smart Lighting will be held on
26 October at the HKCEC. Representatives from LEDinside, Lumileds
and Neonlite International Ltd will share the latest technologies,
product trends and developments in smart lighting.
New Outdoor and Tech Light Expo creates cross-sector business
opportunities
With Asia continuing to drive global economic growth, construction
projects in the region are developing rapidly. Building on the
success of the World of Outdoor Lighting & Lighting Accessories
2015, this year the HKTDC is expanding the scale of the event by
launching the first Hong Kong International Outdoor and Tech Light
Expo to meet market demand. The inaugural fair has attracted about
380 exhibitors from the Chinese mainland, Hong Kong, Malaysia and
Taiwan. The Outdoor and Tech Light Expo will feature exhibits in
Outdoor Lighting as well as Lighting Accessories, Parts &
Components. Dedicated zones of Professional and Industrial Lighting
and Advertising Lighting are also introduced to offer lighting
products and parts for different working environments. A Hong Kong
exhibitor will showcase a laser light projector that can project
sparkling lights in red, green and blue, suitable for large-scale
events indoors and outdoors.
On 26 October at AsiaWorld-Expo, a seminar featuring experts from
the United Kingdom, Germany and the Chinese mainland will explore
technological breakthroughs and latest trends in outdoor LED
lighting. Another seminar on 28 October with leading companies
Intertek HK, DEKRA and TUV SUD will discuss the latest standards
and regulations for LED products in South America, Asia and the
Middle East.
The Outdoor and Tech Light Expo will be held concurrently with the
Hong Kong International Building and Hardware Fair and Eco Expo
Asia at AsiaWorld-Expo from 26 to 29 October. The four parallel
fairs will create strong synergy among the lighting, building and
construction sectors. This will enhance the fair experience for
exhibitors and buyers, creating more business opportunities while
strengthening the international reputation of the fairs. A free
shuttle bus service between the HKCEC and AsiaWorld-Expo will be
provided during the fair period.
