Hong Kong | April 2026

 

There are events that sit on the calendar. And then there are moments that shape markets...............InnoEX 2026 is the latter.


This year, InnoEX has evolved beyond a traditional technology exhibition. It now sits at the intersection of policy, capital, and real-world deployment — creating a high-impact platform for organisations ready to engage globally.

 

Smart Cities Council + SmartAI Connect at InnoEX 2026

SCC is partnering with SmartAI Connect to deliver a joint global presence. Visit us at Booths E3-A11 & E3-A13

Together, we bring a powerful ecosystem of:

  • Government
  • Industry
  • Startups
  • Investors

 Delivering:

  • Stronger global positioning
  • Coordinated in-market engagement
  • Increased visibility across multiple channels

 

Why This Year Matters

Hong Kong’s major investment into AI and innovation has positioned InnoEX as a policy-aligned, capital-backed platform.

This means:

  • Buyers are aligned with funded initiatives
  • Investment pipelines are active
  • Deployment conversations are happening in real time

 InnoEX is no longer about showcasing innovation, it’s about entering an accelerated innovation economy.

 

Your Global Access as an SCC Member

Through SCC’s presence at InnoEX, members have the chance to be involved and gain:

  • Access to government, investors, and enterprise stakeholders
  • Inclusion in a joint SCC + SmartAI ecosystem presence
  • On-the-ground representation
  • Participation in coordinated marketing and content campaigns
  • Entry into a broader global events platform

  

Digital Booth: A Smarter Way to Go Global

International expansion isn’t limited by ambition, it’s limited by time, cost, and logistics. The Digital Booth removes those barriers.

Through the SCC pavilion, you can:

Be Present Without Being There

·Profile your organisation within the official pavilion

·Be showcased alongside global innovators

·Maintain visibility throughout the event

Leverage the Ecosystem

·Included in joint marketing and promotion

·Access inbound interest from delegates, partners, and investors

Extend Beyond the Event

·Maintain presence beyond InnoEX

·Integrate into SCC’s global programs

·Support ongoing Asia-Pacific engagement

 Not just virtual participation — a low-friction market entry pathway

  

A Strategic Moment — Not Just an Event

An inflection point occurs when:

  • Policy aligns with capital
  • Capital aligns with industry
  • Industry aligns with deployment

 In 2026, that alignment is happening …………. and InnoEX is at the centre of it.

 

Be Inside the Ecosystem

The question is no longer whether innovation is happening. It’s whether you choose to be inside the ecosystem as it accelerates — or watching from the sidelines.
