InnoEX, jointly organised by the Innovation, Technology and Industry Bureau (ITIB) of the HKSAR Government and the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC), officially opens today. Under the theme “Innovate • Automate • Elevate”, the exhibition is held alongside the HKTDC’s Hong Kong Electronics Fair (Spring Edition) (EFSE) for four consecutive days at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre. The two flagship technology fairs bring together leading global I&T solutions, artificial intelligence (AI) technologies and cutting-edge electronic products. A series of forums, seminars, business-matching sessions, and networking events will also be held, aligning with the National 15th Five-Year Plan and the I&T development directions outlined in the Hong Kong Government’s latest Budget. The fairs attract technology enterprises, start-ups and buyers from around the world to explore collaboration and business opportunities.Jenny Koo, Deputy Executive Director of the HKTDC, said: “The HKTDC is committed to building world-class business platforms that foster cross-regional, cross-industry and cross-sector collaboration, highlighting Hong Kong’s international and innovation strengths. This year, InnoEX and the EFSE bring together over 2,800 exhibitors from 27 countries and regions, showcasing AI+ driven innovations and advanced electronic products. Robotics technology is a major highlight. We have newly launched the ‘RoboPark’ which brings together technology companies from Hong Kong, the Chinese Mainland and overseas to showcase over 100 robots across diverse application scenarios. This facilitates cross-regional exchange, industrial collaboration and innovative applications, accelerating Hong Kong’s development as an international I&T hub and aligning with opportunities under the National 15th Five-Year Plan.”
RoboPark debuts at both fairs
The newly launched “RoboPark” spans both InnoEX and the EFSE and features a strong line-up of exhibitors. Four of the world’s top five best-selling[1] humanoid robot manufacturers are participating, including AgiBot, Unitree (one of “Hangzhou’s Six Little Dragons”), UBTECH and EngineAI (both among “Shenzhen’s Eight Great Guardians of Embodied Intelligence”). Four additional members of the “Shenzhen’s Eight Great Guardians of Embodied Intelligence”, including AI² Robotics, LimX Dynamics, PaXini and Digit Robotics, are also exhibiting. Unitree (Booth: 3CON-E01) will present the first launch outside Chinese Mainland for its next-generation quadruped robot dog, Unitree A2, capable of running at up to 5 m/s and climbing to a height of up to 1 m. The robot is equipped with ultra-wide-angle LiDAR which enables real-time 3D perception and environmental recognition. Designed for commercial and industrial applications, the robot can withstand a 100 kg adult jumping on its back and can also operate stably across complex terrain like gravel.
RoboPark also features companies based in Hong Kong. Rice Robotics (Booth: 3CON-J07) presents autonomous robots designed to perform repetitive building and office operations, including delivery, cleaning, disinfection and patrol security. Powered by proprietary navigation technology and integrated with lifts and access control systems, these robots enable fully autonomous operations and are in wide adoption by enterprises in Japan such as SoftBank, 7-Eleven Japan and Mitsui Fudosan.
