International participation reached new heights this year, with over 340 exhibitors gathering from 15 countries and regions, while the number of pavilions grew to 18, among them the ASEAN Pavilion and the Qinghai Pavilion, both making their debut. More than 30 forums and thematic sessions took place during the four-day event, featuring more than 80 government officials, industry leaders, and experts from academia and research worldwide, who shared their insights, drawing more than 4,400 visits. Over 300 senior officials and representatives of semi-official organisations from the Chinese Mainland, Hong Kong, Belt and Road and ASEAN countries visited the Expo, further deepening international exchange and connections.

A welcome ceremony was held on 27 October, attended by Minister of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment of the People’s Republic of China Huang Runqiu, Secretary for Environment and Ecology of the HKSAR Government Tse Chin-wan, HKTDC Executive Director Sophia Chong, Messe Frankfurt (HK) Ltd Deputy General Manager Jack Wong, and other distinguished guests. Speaking at the ceremony, Huang Runqiu said: “With the strong support of the motherland and its close connections with the world, Hong Kong serves as an important gateway for the country’s opening up. We will continue to support Hong Kong in leveraging its unique strengths to jointly advance green development in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, and take forward the high-quality development of both the ‘Beautiful China Pilot Zone’ and the Beautiful Greater Bay Area. This year’s Expo, themed ‘Connecting the World for a Sustainable Future’, is both timely and highly meaningful.”

To further strengthen green industry ties between Hong Kong and ASEAN markets, this year’s Expo introduced the ASEAN Pavilion, bringing together 12 green technology companies from seven ASEAN countries, namely Singapore, Laos, Malaysia, the Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand and Vietnam. The Expo also hosted its first ASEAN Networking Reception, inviting government and industry representatives from ASEAN countries to explore regional collaboration opportunities together.

Jonathan Sourintha, Chief External Affairs Officer of Turn Green Holding Joint Stock Company, a Vietnamese bioplastic and sustainable packaging manufacturer exhibiting for the first time, said he hoped to connect with major Hong Kong enterprises and international buyers to export more products: “The buyers visiting our booth came from places such as the Chinese Mainland, the UAE and the Philippines, all markets we are keen to develop. One buyer from Dubai was particularly interested in our shopping bags and garbage bags; if the partnership succeeds, the annual order volume could reach US$200,000.”

Buyers pointed out that by bringing together green solutions from around the world, the Expo serves as an ideal platform for sourcing overseas technologies and forging cross-border partnerships. Among them was KLerra Pte Ltd, a Singapore buyer specialising in waste management and recycling solutions for commercial clients such as hotels and shopping malls. With Singapore’s new food waste recycling regulations fuelling market demand, the company came to the Expo in search of suitable technology solutions. Its Executive Director, Spencer Soong, said: “We are exploring a range of solutions and have identified several potential exhibitors, including food waste management machines from a Chinese Mainland exhibitor, waste recycling and sorting machines from a Hong Kong supplier, and plastic recycling technology from a Vietnam tech venture. The total potential order value could reach US$1.2 million.”

For Jordanian buyer ETA MAX Energy and Environmental Solutions, Eco Expo Asia opened the door to exhibitors worldwide, facilitating the company to explore new suppliers and widen its sourcing network. Business Development Director Abdullah Dado said: “The exhibitors here span the Chinese Mainland, East Asian countries, the US, and Canada. Two of them, one from Hong Kong and one from the US, offer battery products that meet our standards for reliability and sustainability. We plan to commit US$300,000 to US$400,000 to an initial order, and if the market responds well, we expect to scale up our sourcing further.”

As a core member of the HKSAR Government’s GoGlobal Task Force, the HKTDC introduced the GoGlobal Connect Zone at this year’s Expo for the first time. The dedicated zone provided Chinese Mainland green enterprises with complimentary matching services, connecting them with Hong Kong professional services to venture overseas together. The Expo also held a series of networking events on going global, including the Experience Sharing Forum on Promoting Environment Business in Overseas Markets and the GoGlobal Seminar. Government officials, businesses from the Chinese Mainland, Hong Kong, Kyrgyzstan, Malaysia, Thailand and Uzbekistan, and Hong Kong professional service providers exchanged insights on international development opportunities for Chinese Mainland green enterprises.

Simon Huang, Project Manager of the Overseas Business Department at Lihe Technology (HK) Co., Limited, said: “We signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Kazakhstan through the Expo last year, marking our successful entry into the Central Asian market. We subsequently established a local company and introduced a range of gas-monitoring equipment, with a project value of US$2 million, and launched water projects there. We are exhibiting again this year to promote our Black Light Laboratory water quality analysis technology to Hong Kong universities, government laboratories and R&D institutions. Hong Kong clients have shown strong interest in the technology, and the related project value is estimated to reach US$1 million. Beyond the local market, we have also connected with potential new clients from Malaysia and Thailand.” Lihe Technology stated that the Expo brings together international buyers, supporting their global expansion efforts. Viewing Hong Kong as a crucial gateway for Chinese Mainland environmental enterprises going global, the company hopes to use it as a key springboard for expanding its overseas business.

Many local green start-ups and research institutions also showcased their latest green innovations at the Expo. The Hong Kong Pavilion, supported by the Environmental Protection Department and coordinated by the Federation of Hong Kong Industries, featured 19 local enterprises, while the Environmental Campaign Committee led 22 start-ups. Meanwhile, the Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation brought together 11 local start-ups, showcasing a range of cutting-edge energy solutions. As the global green transition accelerates and demand for green products and technologies continues to grow across all sectors, the Expo also attracted buyers from a wide range of industries and major corporations to source and explore business opportunities.

Ferrand Cunningham, Corporate and Marketing Communications Director at EcoCeres, Inc., a first-time exhibitor, said: “We hope to harness the Expo’s international influence to introduce our technology to more overseas buyers and identify potential partners.

Among them, Canadian and Danish buyers expressed interest in purchasing our machines and technology, while a number of Chinese Mainland government officials and related bodies enquired about our waste-to-energy technology and carbon-reduction solutions. We believe the Expo will bring us further business collaboration opportunities.”

A series of professional forums and seminars were held during the Expo, bringing together leading industry figures to share their insights. Professor Avinash Persaud, Emeritus Professor at Gresham College in the UK and a member of the High Level Expert Group on Climate Finance, said at Eco Expo Asia 2026 that “Hong Kong plays a pivotal role in driving private capital into affordable and secure energy investments worldwide.” Persaud added that “as energy increasingly shifts from commodity-based to technology-based, it will rely on a new cadre of change makers. These include environmental practitioners, engineers, and scientists.” He went on to “commend HKIE and HKIQEP for professionalising the field and setting high standards for others to follow.” Persaud noted that “over the years, Eco Expo has played a critical role in building the ecosystem around new energy technologies in Asia by bringing together policymakers, regulators, the private sector, practitioners, academics, development banks, and investors in one trusted platform to share ideas and developments.”

In addition to the flagship Eco Asia Conference, the organiser also worked closely with the Environmental Protection Department to arrange visits by local government departments and relevant organisations. In addition, representatives from various government departments shared their procurement needs during the conference sessions, enabling the industry to better grasp market directions and develop green solutions and technologies tailored to real needs, while fostering collaboration between the public and private sectors. Xu Qiang, Chairman of Shanghai Wanjiang Environment Technology Co., Ltd., who participated in the government department forum, said that Hong Kong’s standards for technical details and specifications differ from those on the Chinese Mainland, and that the event helped Mainland manufacturers better understand international market standards, enabling their products and solutions to better meet the latest policy needs. He aims to establish “Made in Hong Kong” showcases through pilot projects with local universities and institutions and subsequently expand into markets beyond Hong Kong.

Three fairs leverage online-to-offline integration to expand business opportunities

Organised by the HKTDC, the Hong Kong International Lighting Fair (Autumn Edition) and the Hong Kong International Outdoor and Tech Light Expo together formed one of the world’s leading lighting industry events, attracting some 3,000 exhibitors from more than 20 countries and regions. The two fairs drew some 39,000 and more than 11,000 buyers respectively for sourcing and business matching. Eco Expo Asia, jointly organised by the HKTDC and Messe Frankfurt (HK) Ltd, and co-organised by the Environment and Ecology Bureau of the Hong Kong SAR Government, featured over 340 exhibitors from 15 countries and regions and attracted over 11,000 buyers.

All three exhibitions adopted the EXHIBITION+ hybrid model, combining physical and online participation. Exhibitors and buyers can continue business discussions through the Click2Match smart business matching platform. The online component of Eco Expo Asia will remain open until 5 November, while the online exhibitions for the Autumn Lighting Fair and the Outdoor and Tech Light Expo will run until 6 November.

Organised by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC), the mega-scale twin trade showcase marks a key milestone on the global sourcing calendar. By spreading the event across both Victoria Harbour and Lantau Island—the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (HKCEC) in Wan Chai hosting the Autumn Edition and AsiaWorld-Expo staging the Outdoor and Tech Light Expo—organisers have created a comprehensive, two-pronged gateway connecting manufacturers, urban planners, architects, and international procurement teams.

Dual Venues, Targeted Sectors

The strategic segregation of the twin fairs accommodates the distinct facets of modern illumination architecture: indoor consumer-and-commercial applications on one side, and industrial, infrastructural outdoor tech on the other.

The Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre houses extensive zones dedicated to Commercial Lighting, LED Essentials, Residential Lighting, and Testing, Certification & Inspection services. At the centre of the HKCEC showcase is the Connected Lighting and smart systems ecosystem, reflecting a sharp pivot toward integrated automation, building management interoperability, and wellness-oriented designs. Simultaneously, AsiaWorld-Expo serves as the proving ground for heavy-duty, municipal, and architectural implementations. Its floor space is divided among specialized segments:

• Smart Poles & Public Lighting: Networked urban lighting infrastructure embedded with sensors, telecom relays, and environmental monitors.
• Industrial & High-Bay Lighting: Ruggedized, high-efficiency illumination for logistics hubs, aviation hangars, and manufacturing plants.
• Horticultural Lighting: Specialized spectrum solutions engineered to accelerate indoor farming yields and support urban vertical agriculture.
• Outdoor & Advertising Lighting: Architectural facade displays, landscape fixtures, and dynamic exterior illumination engineered to withstand extreme weather.

To ensure seamless transit for overseas delegations navigating both venues, organizers have deployed continuous shuttle operations connecting Wan Chai directly to AsiaWorld-Expo throughout the joint staging days.

Technological Pivots: Smart Connectivity and Human Wellbeing

Walking the exhibition floors reveals that simple lumen efficiency is no longer the primary competitive frontier. Instead, suppliers and design firms are demonstrating how artificial intelligence, IoT connectivity, and circadian science have transformed lighting from a passive utility into an active environmental system.

Among domestic and international brands, smart control modules dominate the displays. Exhibitors like mainland high-tech enterprise Yndlux Lighting are showcasing independently developed multi-link linear module systems capable of autonomous adjustment based on daylight harvesting and occupancy metrics. In the industrial realm, fixtures such as the Red Dot-recognized UFO High Bay line demonstrate how precision optics can combine power factor tuning and correlated colour temperature (CCT) controls into a single modular enclosure.

Equally prominent is the emergence of human-centric lighting, tailored particularly to healthcare and aging demographics. Multiple exhibitors have unveiled circadian-aligned ceiling panels and ambient arrays engineered for elder-care facilities and residences. These fixtures adjust spectrum ratios dynamically throughout the day, mitigating blue-light suppression of melatonin in the evenings, improving visual clarity for older eyes, and easing circadian rhythm disruptions.

Thought Leadership and Urban Infrastructure

Beyond the trade stands, the twin fairs serve as an international symposium for lighting engineering and architectural design. Across multiple dedicated presentation spaces—including “the STAGE” at HKCEC and AsiaWorld-Expo—plenary sessions bring together urban planners, structural engineers, and design luminaries.

A major theme throughout the conference tracks is the rapid adoption of artificial intelligence in public lighting. Industry panels featuring the Alliance of Smart Pole Industry and telecommunications infrastructure partners explored how municipalities are converting standard streetlight grids into multi-functional digital backbones. These “smart poles” increasingly double as 5G microcell hosts, vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) sensors, and weather-monitoring stations capable of transmitting real-time flood or air-quality telemetry to municipal emergency dashboards.

Parallel forums—including the Connected Lighting Forum co-organized with the Shanghai Pudong Intelligent Lighting Association (SILA)—centered on light healing, psychological wellbeing, and the therapeutic applications of dynamic spectrum control in workspace environments. Global designers also examined the role of sustainable procurement, emphasizing circular design paradigms where fixtures are built entirely from recycled alloys, disassembled with standard tools, and upgraded via modular drivers rather than discarded at end of life.

The EXHIBITION+ Hybrid Model

Recognizing the evolving nature of post-pandemic global procurement, the fairs are deployed under the HKTDC’s “EXHIBITION+” hybrid model. While the physical exhibition halls buzz with live demonstrations, an AI-powered smart business-matching platform, Click2Match, operates continuously for three weeks.

The digital integration extends directly onto the physical show floors via the HKTDC Marketplace App’s Scan2Match capability. Onsite buyers use the tool to scan exhibitor-specific QR codes, instantly cataloguing product specifications, technical sheets, and interactive floor plans to their personal devices. This eliminates the need for heavy physical catalogues while enabling buyers to maintain direct sourcing dialogues and schedule virtual meetings long after the physical booths are dismantled.

Hong Kong’s Role as a Green Technology Springboard

The 2026 edition of the twin lighting fairs carries added significance as the HKTDC marks its 60th anniversary as Hong Kong’s statutory trade promotion body. Staged concurrently with the Eco Expo Asia exhibition at AsiaWorld-Expo, the cluster of events underscores the city’s positioning as a premier green-tech finance and export gateway.

By linking mainland manufacturing powerhouses with buyers from ASEAN, Europe, the Middle East, and the Americas, the twin lighting fairs highlight how the convergence of sustainability regulations, microelectronics, and architectural aesthetics continues to reshape the built environment. With smart connectivity and ecological efficiency now serving as baseline requirements rather than luxury upgrades, the deals forged across Wan Chai and Lantau this week are set to illuminate public spaces and commercial properties worldwide for years to come.

Developed as part of the broader Vilnius City Plan, the project comprises two low-rise office towers rising eight and nine storeys respectively. The towers are connected by a courtyard atrium at street level and a skybridge at the fifth floor, creating a cohesive architectural ensemble.

Drawing inspiration from the geometries of the district’s civic architecture, the design integrates a series of terraces and landscaped roof gardens. The top floor features a public sports and wellness complex equipped with swimming pools, saunas, steam rooms, and an outdoor sun deck, offering panoramic views of Gediminas Castle and Vilnius’ historic Old Town.

Situated within Vilnius’ humid continental climate, the development incorporates natural hybrid ventilation for much of the year. High-efficiency heat exchange and recovery systems have been implemented to reduce energy consumption, while double-insulated low-E glazing combined with external louvres maximizes natural daylight across office spaces and public areas.

Designed to accommodate both Lithuanian and international companies from the technology, wellness, creative, and service sectors, the building is set to welcome its first tenants shortly, with a grand opening scheduled for Spring this year.

PLP was part of an international consortium – including GPA, Perillo S.R.L., Oblyk Studio, Architetto Valentini, and Enser – that won the public competition to design Nexus Terrae. Envisioned as a manifesto for sustainable architecture, the project reflects Italy’s environmental ambitions through innovation, transparency, and adaptability. Designed as an energy-positive and circular building, the new MASE headquarters aims to function both as a high-performance workplace and a civic landmark, setting a new benchmark for future government institutions.

Carefully integrated into the orthogonal layout and monumental scale of the EUR district, the design organises around 30,000 m² of workspace and public functions within two timber-framed volumes constructed in cross-laminated larch (X-LAM).

The ground floor is fully accessible to the public and draws the surrounding landscape into the building, allowing greenery to extend deep into the interior. This creates a biophilic environment for visitors and everyday users, while spaces for exhibitions, discussion, and collaboration unfold within this verdant setting, transforming the entrance sequence into an experience shaped by nature, light, and civic engagement.

At the core of the building, a vertical atrium rises through multiple levels, filled with daylight and vegetation. Suspended within this space are a series of floating volumes that form terraces & focused work areas, offering moments for reflection while maintaining visual connectivity throughout the building.

Above, a panoramic rooftop terrace shaded by a timber canopy integrates high-efficiency photovoltaic panels, providing both a social amenity and renewable energy generation. Combined with a range of passive environmental strategies, these features enable the building to generate more energy annually than it consumes.

The façade presents a refined composition of glass and travertine, expressing a dialogue between tradition and innovation. During the day it conveys solidity and permanence, while at night it transforms into a softly illuminated presence along Viale America, projecting a sense of openness and civic identity.

Nexus Terrae represents the latest addition to PLP’s ongoing contribution to Italy’s urban transformation, following three major projects in Milan including Corso Como Place, the Parco Romana masterplan, and the recently approved design for Building Zero within the Lampugnano redevelopment plan. It also continues PLP’s commitment to sustainability at an institutional scale, building on projects such as the National Meteorological Center in South Korea, which will become the Korean government’s first net-zero building and a symbol of its environmental commitment.

At the centre of the partnership is OptiLamp™ intelligent LED components, a breakthrough development that rethinks where the critical electronics in an LED system live. Much of the circuitry that would normally sit across the LED module has been engineered into a single diode, dramatically simplifying the system.

By reducing the number of external components required, displays become cleaner, lighter and more efficient. Fewer parts mean fewer potential failure points, lower power consumption, and a more streamlined manufacturing process.

The technology also enables true 1/1 scan performance, delivering smoother motion, richer colour depth, and improved on-camera results, particularly important in broadcast, corporate, and immersive environments. With monitoring and calibration data operating at pixel level, brightness and colour consistency can be maintained more precisely over time. This supports longer product lifecycles, improved reliability and more predictable maintenance.

Robert Bint, CEO at LED Studio, said: “This is about simplifying LED display technology at its core. By bringing together what was once spread across the module into a single diode, we reduce complexity while improving performance. It’s a smarter way to build displays – we’re engineering the next generation of display systems.”

This partnership signals a clear step forward in LED display technology, where simplicity and innovation are achieved not in what is added, but in what is stripped away.

IRiS has been rebuilt from the ground up—not updated. The platform introduces a new level of post-installation control, allowing designers to refine ceiling depth and reduce glare even after the space is complete. Light holds its intention. The ceiling stays quiet.

Field-interchangeable silicone optics transform IRiS into a platform for shaping light, not just placing it. From narrow, controlled beams to wide, immersive washes, designers can move in precise 5° increments from 8° to 70°, delivering light exactly where it belongs. Asymmetric distributions extend that control further, revealing texture, form, and architecture with clarity and restraint.

Trimless (knife-edge) options, engineered for both plaster-in and millwork applications, create a seamless, aperture-only expression. Microflange and flanged trims introduce a subtle visual edge where desired, while a curated palette of premium finishes shapes the final impression the light leaves in the space.
