Summary
Eco Expo Asia 2026 will be held at AsiaWorld-Expo from October 26 to 29, with more than 340 exhibitors from 16 countries and regions presenting green technologies and low-carbon transition solutions. The 21st edition is jointly organised by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council and Messe Frankfurt (HK) Ltd, with the Environment and Ecology Bureau as co-organiser, under the theme “Connecting the World for a Green Future”. Organisers said the fair will add an ASEAN Pavilion and a new “Go Global” zone to help mainland environmental companies connect with overseas markets through Hong Kong’s professional services. The final day, October 29, will be open free to the public for talks, workshops and visits aimed at promoting environmental awareness and sustainable living.
Key Points
- The fair will host 18 exhibition groups this year, with participation from nine mainland Greater Bay Area cities, Macau, Guangxi, Shanghai and, for the first time, Qinghai province.
- Eight ASEAN countries will make their debut and set up an ASEAN Pavilion, while CRHK reported 13 green technology companies from ASEAN countries joining the new cluster.
- Exhibits are organised around four themes: green energy, frontier green technology, green city-building and waste-to-value solutions for low-carbon transformation
- More than 30 forums and the Asian Environmental Conference will feature over 80 experts, while about 200 officials and institutional representatives are expected to attend
- The HKTDC’s 2026 ESG Index rose to 67.3 from 64.2, and 93% of respondents said ESG is now part of business decision-making.
Why It Matters
For Hong Kong, the expo is being positioned as both a trade platform and a policy-linked showcase for green transition, cross-border cooperation and ESG business services. The addition of ASEAN and mainland expansion zones points to how the city is trying to turn environmental technology and sustainability services into a larger regional growth market.
