Stay at the forefront of green technologies at Eco Expo Asia The 20th edition of Eco Expo Asia is jointly organised by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) and Messe Frankfurt (HK) Ltd and co-organised by the Environment and Ecology Bureau of the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR). Presenting diverse solutions for environmental protection, the Expo assembles some 340 exhibitors from 13 countries and regions. Exhibitors and buyers alike are welcome to connect via the Click2Match virtual business matching platform from 21 October to 7 November. The last day of the Expo is a Public Day and is open to the public with free admission. Speaking at a press conference, HKTDC Deputy Executive Director Jenny Koo said that this year’s Policy Address presents new directions in green policy and emphasized the importance of the new energy industry and the development of a green, low-carbon living environment. Eco Expo Asia aligns perfectly with these themes by showcasing the latest eco-friendly products and technologies. Keep abreast of cutting-edge technology in three key areas Themed “Green Innovations for Carbon Neutrality”, the Expo spotlights three key areas – Circular Economy and Waste Management, Green & Smart Mobility, and ESG-related Services. In Circular Economy and Waste Management, highlights include Hong Kong exhibitor Green AI Technology Limited’s smart sorting bin powered by machine vision and AI algorithms, as well as China Everbright Environment Group Limited’s waste-to-energy solutions that transform waste into resources, supporting sustainable urban development. As for Green & Smart Mobility, CUHK-incubated start-up Luquos Energy Limited is showcasing the world’s first commercialised sulphur-based flow battery energy storage system, at nearly half the cost of lithium batteries. In addition, first-time exhibitor Infore Enviro Technology Group Co., Ltd unveils its electric compactor truck. The zone also features a diversity of electric vehicles and charging facilities. In ESG-related services, the green industry is promoting ESG disclosure and low-carbon transformation as it seeks to foster closer collaboration between industries and financial institutions to accelerate Hong Kong’s development as a green and sustainable finance centre. To this end, CECEP (Hong Kong) Investment Co. Ltd. Is showcasing its innovative tool, EnvAI, which provides businesses with one-stop ESG services, including ESG data collection and analysis, and automated report generation. Llewellyn and Partners Company Limited is showcasing AutoTwin, a patented AI-powered integrated management platform for the construction industry. This platform optimises energy efficiency, reduces carbon footprints and promotes green urban development. Gain insights at the newest developments at Eco Asia Conference Apart from technological breakthroughs, the Expo addresses pressing environmental issues at the Eco Asia Conference, which brings together global officials and experts in different industries, from construction and transport to food and beverage. On the first day of the Expo, the conference focuses on the latest circular economy developments. This includes the launch of the Hong Kong Circular Built Environment Guidebook, jointly compiled by the Business Environment Council, Hong Kong Green Building Council and Construction Industry Council, which provides the latest green guidelines as well as practical case studies for the construction industry. On 30 October, the conference focuses on two main themes – “Building a Sustainable Future: Gearing Towards a Net-Zero Built Environment” and “Green & Smart Mobility – Envisioning the Future of Transportation” – showcasing how the construction and transportation industries can collaborate effectively to achieve carbon neutrality. Experience green living on the Public Day The last day of the Expo is open to the public with free admission. Visitors can participate in a series of seminars and green workshops.
