Explore global environmental solutions to accelerate carbon reduction goals, complete with an array of engaging activities including insightful forums and green workshops at AsiaWorld-Expo from 28 to 31 October.
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.
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.
Research Institutions and Start-ups are also presenting their latest innovations. For example, Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation’s start-up afterNATURE Ltd is showcasing its Deep Hexagonal Basin product. This innovation creates habitats for marine life on its surface, helping to preserve coastal biodiversity. Another start-up, Formwork IO, is presenting AtmosBrick and globally debut AtmosTile at the Expo. These “carbon-negative” green building materials are designed to help reduce carbon emissions.
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.
Other exciting activities include the FHKI Q-Mark Low Carbon Restaurant Award 2025 on 28 October. Organised by the Federation of Hong Kong Industries and the Hong Kong Q-Mark Council, the award recognises outstanding commitment to sustainability and low-carbon practices within the restaurant industry, while inspiring positive change to shape a sustainable future for dining.
Meanwhile, the 6th Hydrogen Economy Forum will be held on 29 October. Representatives from Towngas and experts from the Chinese Mainland and overseas – including the China Hydrogen Development and Innovation Alliance for Urban Gas, Veolia and Aerospace Hydrogen Energy Technology Co., Ltd. – will share insights into frontier hydrogen energy technologies and successful case studies, while exploring how cooperation within the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area can further advance hydrogen applications.
Moreover, on 29 October, an Experience Sharing Forum on Promoting Environmental Business in Overseas Markets will invite representatives from Belt and Road countries to introduce the latest updates on environmental industry investment policies across different regions. Green technology companies from the Chinese Mainland and Hong Kong will also present their latest solutions and share their “go global” experiences to promote regional exchanges and seize new opportunities in green trade.
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. For example, Ocean Park is introducing its “Mission R” on saving species and habitats, while environmental KOL Yeung Ting (aka imsheeppoo) will share tips for joyful green living. Visitors can also participate in green workshops, such as a Beeswax Wrap Workshop and a Board Game Workshop. Additionally, there will be a Green Mart on-site that offers a variety of eye-opening green products for purchase.
