Meanwhile, the HKTDC Hong Kong International Outdoor and Tech Light Expo will return in its fourth edition from 29 October to 1 November at AsiaWorld-Expo. The latest products from more than 400 exhibitors from Hong Kong, Mainland China, Taiwan and a first-time exhibitor from Thailand are on display. The twin lighting shows together form the world's largest lighting marketplace, offering buyers a wide variety of the latest products and a one-stop platform for sourcing products and gathering market information.
HKTDC Deputy Executive Director Benjamin Chau said that in view of the current economic headwinds affecting Hong Kong, the HKTDC is striving to create more business opportunities for the lighting industry through its 50 offices around the world. "We have organised 80 buying missions from 67 countries and regions to visit the twin lighting fairs, comprising about 7,700 global buyers. More than 75% of these buyers are from emerging markets that are ripe with growth potential, helping exhibitors to seek out new opportunities and expand beyond their traditional markets. Meanwhile, over 13,300 buyers have pre-registered for the fairs, showing that exhibitors and buyers continue to be attracted by Hong Kong trade fair platforms," Mr Chau said.
The HKTDC has expanded its free shuttle bus service for the fairs and set up the HKTDC Services Counter at the Hong Kong International Airport's buffer hall, where buyers can find fair information and register for a buyer badge in advance. Buyer Concierge Desks have also been set up to strengthen connections with exhibitors.
