Eco Expo Asia 2023 will take place from 26 – 29 October at the AsiaWorld-Expo in Hong Kong. The last day (29 October) will be open to the public and online Click2Match business matching services will run until 6 November. With the governments in Hong Kong and Mainland China aiming to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050 and 2060 respectively, this year’s fair will explore the green innovations that will turn these ambitions into reality. In the lead up to the show, a networking luncheon was held on 11 April which gathered over 80 industry leaders, professionals, international businesses and government representatives. 
In its efforts to reach carbon neutrality by 2060, the Chinese government has promoted innovation across a whole host of different industries to achieve this result. In terms of energy, the country reached 152 million kilowatts of newly installed power generation capacity from renewables, accounting for 76.2% of the total in 2022.1
A concerted global effort is underway to drive down carbon emissions and Eco Expo Asia 2023 will support this endeavour. The theme of this year’s exhibition is “Taking the Leap towards Carbon Neutrality”, which strives to once again bring together prominent brands, experts and academics under one roof, to showcase the latest green products and technologies, discuss the latest trends and formulate lasting solutions to respond to climate crisis. The show is expected to feature products and solutions in the fields of green buildings and energy efficiency, green transportation, green finance and ESG-related services and more.During last year's show one of the exhibitors, Mr Frank Chau, Business Development Manager at Nishitani (Asia) Limited, said: “Eco Expo Asia provides a perfect platform for us to introduce our eco-friendly coatings to buyers from different sectors. We have established more than 100 new contacts with buyers from property management companies, universities, building contractors, engineers, interior designers and ESG consultants. Buyers’ responses are overwhelming. They are keen to know more about our coatings.”

 Eco Expo Asia networking luncheon gathered renowned experts 
 The networking luncheon welcomed over 80 guests including consul generals, representatives from various chambers of commerce, industry associations, multinational companies and small and medium-sized enterprises. There, they discussed the future development of the protection industry and opportunities for local and overseas green businesses in Hong Kong, the Greater Bay Area and Asia. Topics included the importance of achieving carbon neutrality and the sustainable transformation of the global economy, carbon credit trading as a means to reduce emissions, and more.
Eco Expo Asia 2023 will take place from 26 – 29 October 2023 in Hong Kong, with online services running until 6 November.
