InnoEX 2026: where global innovation meets Asia’s next growth wave

Breaking into Asian markets is rarely about ambition alone. It’s about proximity, partnerships, and timing.

If you’re looking to expand into Asia – or to find the right suppliers, clients, and collaborators – InnoEX 2026 offers a front-row seat to where the region’s innovation economy is heading next. Taking place from 13–16 April in Hong Kong, InnoEX returns for its fourth edition this year.

Once again, it’s co-organized by the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) Government’s Innovation, Technology and Industry Bureau (ITIB) and the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC).

The goal of the event is to further strengthen its position as a gateway between global innovators and Asian markets.

Hong Kong as a launchpad for Asia

Few cities play the role Hong Kong does.

It is simultaneously a global financial center, a logistics powerhouse, and a regulatory bridge between East and West. For founders and executives looking to enter Asia, it remains one of the most favourable starting points.

InnoEX highlights this positioning. Designed as a global innovation platform, the event brings together more than 88,000 attendees: startups, scale-ups, corporates, investors, and policymakers from around the globe.

What brings them together is the willingness to explore how technology is reshaping cities, industries, and economies across the region.

If you’re building with growth in mind, this is clearly the place to be.

A global convergence of innovators

Building on the momentum of previous years, InnoEX 2026 is expected to host more than 500 exhibitors from across the world.

Past editions have attracted companies and institutions from Hong Kong, mainland China, the United Kingdom, France, Canada, United States, India, Thailand, and beyond – creating a genuinely international environment rather than a regionally siloed one. 

The ambition is clear: to accelerate cross-sector and cross-border collaboration in innovation and technology, with Hong Kong positioned as the connective tissue.

Where conversations turn into connections

Beyond the exhibition floor, InnoEX 2026 places strong emphasis on dialogue and deal-making.

A series of forums, seminars, and curated networking sessions will explore topics such as artificial intelligence, automation, sustainability, and smart infrastructure. Industry leaders, policymakers, and founders will exchange perspectives on how emerging technologies can be deployed at scale.

Participants can also use the Click2Match platform, available before and after the event, to schedule meetings and connect with potential partners efficiently. Thus, a few days on the ground can turn into long-term relationships.

Part of a larger innovation ecosystem

InnoEX 2026 will be held together with the Hong Kong Electronics Fair (Spring Edition) as part of the Business of Innovation and Technology Week (BIT Week).

This convergence is a big deal for the region. In previous years, these combined events attracted tens of thousands of buyers from over 130 countries, reinforcing Hong Kong’s role as a global technology marketplace.

For founders and business leaders, it means exposure to the full innovation value chain.

Why attend?

As Hong Kong continues to position itself as an international innovation and technology hub, InnoEX 2026 stands as a signal of intent.

It’s a place where ideas meet execution, where regional insight meets global ambition, and where founders can test, refine, and scale their market entry strategies.

You can attend as a visitor – or step into the spotlight with an exhibition booth and leverage the concentrated attention of a global audience.

For those serious about building in Asia, InnoEX isn’t just another conference.
It’s a strategic checkpoint.
