Eco Expo Asia 2025 to Showcase Green Technologies Driving Carbon Neutrality Goals

The 20th edition of Eco Expo Asia, themed Green Innovations for Carbon Neutrality, will gather over 300 exhibitors from 12 countries and regions at AsiaWorld-Expo from October 28 to 31. Jointly organized by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) and Messe Frankfurt (HK) Ltd with co-organization from the Environment and Ecology Bureau of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government, the expo serves as a critical platform for advancing global environmental protection efforts and carbon reduction initiatives.

HKTDC Deputy Executive Director Jenny Koo emphasized the event's significance, noting China's commitment to reduce economy-wide net greenhouse gas emissions by 7-10% from peak levels by 2035. This ambitious target, coupled with Hong Kong's new green policy directions highlighted in the Chief Executive's 2025 Policy Address, creates substantial demand for environmental products and technologies. The expo positions itself as a business platform for ESG and sustainable solutions, showcasing latest innovations in new energy, green living and environmental protection.

The expo focuses on three key areas: Circular Economy and Waste Management, Green & Smart Mobility, and ESG-related Services. In circular economy solutions, Hong Kong exhibitor Green AI Technology Limited will display a smart sorting bin powered by machine vision and AI algorithms, while China Everbright Environment Group Limited returns with waste-to-energy solutions that transform waste into resources. The Green & Smart Mobility zone features CUHK-incubated start-up Luquos Energy Limited showcasing the world's first commercialized sulfur-based flow battery energy storage system at nearly half the cost of lithium batteries.

International participation reaches new heights with Korea and Italy staging group participations for the first time, joining returning pavilions from Norway, the Netherlands and Canada. From the Chinese Mainland, participations include Guangzhou, Shenzhen and other Greater Bay Area cities, alongside Guangxi, Hunan, Shanghai and Inner Mongolia. The ANSO Environmental Technology Industry Alliance, led by the Alliance of National and International Science Organizations for the Belt and Road Regions (ANSO), makes its debut with 11 mainland enterprises showcasing water resources and atmospheric environment technologies.

The highlight Eco Asia Conference brings together government representatives from the Chinese Mainland and Belt and Road countries alongside global industry leaders to share latest policies and insights. Conference sessions will cover circular economy developments, including the launch of the Hong Kong Circular Built Environment Guidebook, and feature discussions on building a net-zero built environment and envisioning the future of transportation. Additional events include the 6th Hydrogen Economy Forum exploring frontier hydrogen energy technologies and the Experience Sharing Forum on Promoting Environmental Business in Overseas Markets.

To encourage public participation in environmental initiatives, the last day of the expo on October 31 will be Public Day with complimentary admission. Visitors can participate in green talks, workshops including Beeswax Wrap and Board Game workshops, and shop at the Green Mart. The expo leverages the HKTDC's global network, with buyers from across Asia including Japan, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and Vietnam, as well as from Europe including Hungary and Poland attending. Exhibitors and buyers can connect via the Click2Match virtual business matching platform from October 21 to November 7. More information is available at https://www.ecoexpoasia.com.
