InnoEX is one of Asia’s most influential innovation and technology exhibitions, bringing together governments, cities, investors, corporates, and solution providers to accelerate the future of smart cities, digital infrastructure, and emerging technologies.

 

Hosted by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC), InnoEX is a flagship platform within Hong Kong’s international innovation calendar, connecting global innovators with Asia-Pacific decision-makers and market opportunities.

 

In 2026, Smart Cities Council (SCC) will participate through a dedicated SCC Global Pavilion, creating a powerful, curated presence for members seeking visibility, partnerships, and expansion across the region.

Showcasing & Strategic Exposure

InnoEX features a strong conference and forum program alongside the exhibition floor, with high demand for:

  • Innovation showcases and demonstrations
  • Government and industry roundtables

 

Speaking opportunities are limited and highly competitive. Early engagement is essential for those seeking stage visibility.
