Eco Expo Asia 2017 attracts international pavilions

The 12th edition of Eco Expo Asia will be held at AsiaWorld-Expo, Hong Kong, from 26–29 October 2017.

Organised by Messe Frankfurt (HK) Ltd and the Hong Kong Trade Development Council, and co-organised by the Environment Bureau of the Government of Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, the expo serves as a gateway to the flourishing green market in Asia. The 2016 edition attracted a record-breaking number of 325 exhibitors from 19 countries and regions and 13,458 trade visitors from 107 countries and regions.

This year’s expo is illustrated by the theme ‘Innovative Solutions for Greener Cities’, which comprises the categories of Green Buildings and Energy Efficiency; Green Transportation; Waste Management and Recycling; and Water Treatment and Quality Management. There will also be a spotlight on green start-ups focused on innovative sustainable development and related solutions.

The 12th edition of Eco Expo Asia will continue to feature a strong line-up of global exhibitors, demonstrating an international profile that is bolstered by the involvement of international pavilions. Through the assistance of a number of industry associations and national trade offices, several pavilions have confirmed their participation in the 2017 edition, providing a comprehensive display of the latest green technologies, solutions and products from around the world.

The Korea Pavilion returns to the expo this year, organised by the Korea Environmental Industry Association (KEIA) with the goal of gathering Korean companies to showcase their cutting-edge environmental technologies, which are applicable to a diverse range of sectors. Also present at the expo will be the Switzerland Pavilion, which returns with a range of brands specialised in technologies and solutions related to waste management and recycling, water treatment and quality management. The Canada Pavilion, led by the Consulate General of Canada in Hong Kong and the Ontario Ministry of International Trade, will meanwhile bring numerous green-tech companies together from different regions across the country to reveal their green innovations this year.

Apart from the positive support from international pavilions, government departments in Hong Kong including the Architectural Services Department, the Hong Kong Observatory and the Water Supplies Department have also confirmed their participation in this year’s edition. The return of key exhibitors Baguio and Robin Energy is also expected.

Eco Expo Asia aims to serve as an all-inclusive platform that offers greener solutions, as well as enables companies, government officials and individuals to connect. For more information, email ecoexpo@hongkong.messefrankfurt.com or exhibitions@hktdc.org, or visit www.ecoexpoasia.com.
