Innovation

This year's Belt and Road Summit, bringing together senior government officials and business leaders from across the globe, will run on 11-12 September at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre.

Positioned as Asia’s premier event on health innovation and investment, the Asia Summit on Global Health (ASGH), jointly organised by the Hong Kong SAR Government and the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC), is a one-stop cross-disciplinary platform that will bring together all stakeholders.

Co-organised by the Innovation, Technology and Industry Bureau of the Hong Kong SAR Government and the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC), InnoEX and HKTDC Hong Kong Electronics Fair (Spring Edition) drew some 88,000 buyers from 139 countries and regions, accentuating Hong Kong’s advantages as an international innovation and technology centre.

Facing a business environment that has changed profoundly over the past few years, the Hong Kong SAR Government’s budget, recently announced by Financial Secretary Paul Chan, spotlights three newer sectors – innovation, sustainability and wellness, all of which are key growth drivers.

As digital technologies and e-commerce mature, retailers and shoppers alike are showing great interest in the consumer-centred online-merge-offline (OMO) strategy.

Innovation and technology are important engines for economic and enterprise development.
