Four major Hong Kong technology fairs will bring electronics, artificial intelligence, robotics, electronic components and lighting solutions together during October 2026.
The Hong Kong Trade Development Council expects the exhibitions to attract approximately 6,200 exhibitors from 28 countries and regions. Because the fairs take place on different dates and at two venues, international buyers will need to plan their schedules carefully.
The programme begins with the Hong Kong Electronics Fair (Autumn Edition) and electronicAsia from October 13–16. The Hong Kong International Outdoor and Tech Light Expo follows from October 26–29, while the Hong Kong International Lighting Fair (Autumn Edition) runs from October 27–30.
The figures are organiser forecasts for the forthcoming exhibitions rather than confirmed exhibitor or visitor totals.
Hong Kong technology fairs 2026 at a glance
| Exhibition | Dates | Venue |
|---|---|---|
| 46th Hong Kong Electronics Fair (Autumn Edition) | October 13–16 | Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre |
| 29th electronicAsia | October 13–16 | Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre |
| 11th Hong Kong International Outdoor and Tech Light Expo | October 26–29 | AsiaWorld-Expo |
| 28th Hong Kong International Lighting Fair (Autumn Edition) | October 27–30 | Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre |
The electronics fairs are expected to bring together more than 3,200 exhibitors from 15 countries and regions. Around 3,000 exhibitors from more than 20 countries and regions are expected across the two lighting exhibitions.
These country totals should not be added together because some markets will be represented at more than one fair.
New Future Industries Zone targets emerging technologies
The Hong Kong Electronics Fair will introduce a Future Industries Zone supported by the Hong Kong SAR Government’s Innovation, Technology and Industry Bureau and jointly organised by HKTDC and the Hong Kong Electronic Industries Association.
More than 100 exhibitors are expected to present technologies across five areas:
- Future computing
- Future manufacturing
- Marine and quantum technologies
- Future microelectronics
- Future wellness
The zone is intended to connect technologies that might otherwise appear in separate parts of the electronics ecosystem. Semiconductor developments, computing systems, industrial automation and wellness devices can therefore be evaluated alongside potential commercial applications.
A Top 100 Future Industries Pioneer List will identify products and solutions considered to have commercial potential. The programme will also include startup pitching, technology forums, talent discussions and industry-application matching.
Buyers should still distinguish between products already available for commercial supply and technologies at the prototype, pilot or research stage. Relevant questions include production capacity, certification, intellectual-property ownership and the timetable for market availability.
More than 120 robots planned for RoboPark
Artificial intelligence and robotics will be one of the main themes of the electronics fair. The organiser expects more than 120 robots to be displayed, primarily within RoboPark.
Applications will be organised into four categories:
- Commercial and service robotics
- Industrial and logistics robotics
- Entertainment and social robotics
- Healthcare and rehabilitation robotics
Demonstrations are expected to include humanoid robots, robotic dogs, robot football, service robots and wearable exoskeleton technology. Interactive areas will allow visitors to observe robots performing tasks rather than viewing only static product displays.
International buyers evaluating robotics products should examine operational reliability, safety systems, payload or task capacity, software compatibility, maintenance arrangements and local technical support. A visually impressive demonstration does not necessarily establish whether a robot can operate reliably in a factory, hospital, retail location or public environment.
The fair will also feature Smart Wellness products such as digital-health devices, wearables, personal-care technologies and gerontechnology. Its NEXTEntertainment displays will cover extended reality, gaming hardware, digital-content tools and AI-supported entertainment products.
Electronics fair connects established brands and startups
More than 20 themed areas are planned across the Autumn Electronics Fair.
The Hall of Fame is expected to feature products from more than 560 electronics brands, while RISE Avenue will concentrate on emerging brands and new consumer products.
An Immersive Experience Zone will present gaming, virtual-reality and augmented-reality technologies. Planned demonstrations include sensors that use brainwave signals to control games through concentration rather than conventional handheld controls.
More than 120 emerging companies are expected to participate, mainly within the Startup Zone. Pitching competitions, investor meetings and mentoring activities will give early-stage companies opportunities to reach buyers, manufacturers and potential financial partners.
Buyers sourcing consumer electronics in Hong Kong during October may also want to compare the HKTDC exhibitions with the Global Sources Hong Kong Shows 2026, which take place at AsiaWorld-Expo in two phases from October 11–21.
electronicAsia focuses on components and production technology
Held concurrently with the electronics fair, electronicAsia 2026 will focus on the technologies behind finished electronic products.
Its product coverage includes:
- Semiconductors
- Sensors
- Printed circuit boards
- Electronic components
- Display technologies
- Power supplies
- Testing and inspection equipment
- Electronics manufacturing services
- Production and assembly technologies
- Solar and photovoltaic technology
The event is jointly organised by HKTDC and MMI Asia. It is particularly relevant to product developers, original-equipment manufacturers, electronics brands and buyers seeking components or contract-manufacturing partners.
Companies interested in electronics-production equipment can also compare the fair with NEPCON ASIA 2026, which will cover semiconductor packaging, circuit-board assembly, testing and factory automation in Shenzhen from October 27–29.
GoGlobal Connect supports international expansion
A new GoGlobal Connect Zone will provide advisory services to mainland Chinese companies seeking to expand into overseas markets through Hong Kong.
Related sessions will examine market entry, export financing, risk management, compliance, certification, sustainability, brand development and international manufacturing strategies. A separate programme will discuss opportunities and operating conditions in ASEAN markets.
For international visitors, the zone could provide access to Chinese technology companies actively seeking foreign distributors, sales partners, investors or professional-service providers.
Buyers and distributors should clarify whether companies are looking for traditional export customers, exclusive distribution, joint product development or support establishing operations in a particular market.
Twin lighting fairs expect around 3,000 exhibitors
The two lighting exhibitions will be held under the theme “Beyond Illumination”, highlighting the integration of lighting with smart-building systems, wellness, energy efficiency, interior design and urban infrastructure.
The Hong Kong International Lighting Fair will bring lighting manufacturers, technology platforms and industry alliances to the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre.
Participants will include organisations working with connected-lighting and building-automation standards, including the Connectivity Standards Alliance, DALI Alliance, Zhaga Consortium and KNX.
The Hall of Connected Lighting will feature more than 60 brands, including Signify from the Netherlands, Viso Systems from Denmark and Finland’s Casambi. Interactive installations will demonstrate how control platforms, sensors and luminaires can work together in commercial and residential environments.
Buyers comparing connected-lighting systems should examine interoperability, cybersecurity, protocol support, software-maintenance policies and compatibility with existing building-management systems.
New zone covers commercial LED displays
The Autumn Lighting Fair will introduce an LED Display Solution Zone covering:
- LED video walls
- Commercial digital displays
- Transparent LED panels
- Flexible LED displays
- Immersive audiovisual systems
- Virtual-production technology
- Conference and collaboration displays
The expansion reflects the growing overlap between the traditional lighting industry and commercial-display technology. Retailers, exhibition organisers, corporate facilities and entertainment venues increasingly require integrated systems combining illumination, digital content and interactive visual experiences.
Another major section, the Hall of Aurora, is expected to feature around 500 lighting brands. Other product areas will include commercial lighting, residential lighting and LED components.
Outdoor expo adds photovoltaic and energy-storage solutions
The Hong Kong International Outdoor and Tech Light Expo will take place at AsiaWorld-Expo and cover three principal areas:
- Smart poles and connected-city systems
- Outdoor, industrial and technical lighting
- Landscape and architectural lighting
The exhibition will also introduce photovoltaic and energy-storage solutions intended to support more energy-efficient outdoor lighting.
Smart-city displays will combine lighting with sensors, communications technology, cloud platforms and remote management. These systems can allow operators to monitor equipment, adjust lighting levels and identify maintenance problems from a central platform.
Municipal and infrastructure buyers should evaluate these solutions against local communications standards, data-management requirements, environmental conditions, maintenance capacity and total lifecycle costs.
Online matchmaking extends beyond the physical fairs
All four exhibitions will use HKTDC’s EXHIBITION+ format, combining physical participation with the Click2Match online business-matching platform.
Online matching for the Electronics Fair and electronicAsia will run from October 6–23. The online period for the two lighting exhibitions will run from October 19 to November 6.
The extended online periods allow buyers to contact exhibitors before travelling and continue discussions after the physical exhibitions close.
A complimentary shuttle service is also planned between the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre and AsiaWorld-Expo during the lighting fairs. This will be particularly useful from October 27–29, when exhibitions are operating at both venues.
With 6,200 exhibitors expected across electronics, components and lighting, the four Hong Kong autumn technology fairs will offer a broad sourcing programme. Their commercial value will depend on selecting the most relevant fair, arranging meetings in advance and verifying supplier capabilities after initial discussions.
Additional electronics, lighting and technology exhibitions can be found through the China trade show calendar.
