The Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation (HKSTP) and Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) led a record-breaking delegation of 61 technology companies to the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2026 in Las Vegas, demonstrating the city's expanding influence in the global innovation landscape. This strategic participation enabled local firms to present their research and development capabilities to international brands, industry leaders, and investors, reinforcing Hong Kong's position as a competitive international innovation and technology hub.
The Hong Kong Tech Pavilion featured innovations across multiple sectors including advanced materials, sustainable technology, artificial intelligence, digital transformation, electronics, robotics, and life sciences. The showcase attracted significant attention during the first two days of the event, with dozens of international visitors exploring potential collaborations with Hong Kong-based innovators.
Three Hong Kong companies received prestigious CES Innovation Awards 2026, validating the quality of the city's technological output. Widemount Dynamics Tech earned the Best of Innovation award in the "Product in Support of Human Security for All" category for its Smart Firefighting Robot. In the digital health category, Eieling was honored for FattaLab®, described as the world's first intelligence-driven compact fatty liver diagnostic device, while PointFit received recognition for its patented ultra-thin biomarkers tracking wearable called PF-Sweat Patch.
Terry Wong, CEO of HKSTP, emphasized the importance of global platforms like CES for showcasing Hong Kong's innovation ecosystem. "We believe in catalysing tomorrow's world and this celebration of Hong Kong's innovation and technology via the global platform like CES demonstrates our city's unique convergence of cutting-edge R&D, global talent and capital," Wong stated. He noted that organizations like HKSTP connect innovators with essential resources, markets, and opportunities to propel their success internationally.
Vivian Chan, Associate Director of Business Development at HKTDC, highlighted the organization's long-standing commitment to facilitating technology-driven business deals through its global network. "Having participated in CES for over 40 years, HKTDC is committed to facilitating more technology-driven, cross-border business deals and investments riding on our global network with over 50 offices," Chan explained. This extensive network helps reinforce Hong Kong's position as both a regional and global innovation center.
The significance of this achievement extends beyond individual company recognition to broader implications for Hong Kong's economic future. As traditional financial and trade sectors face increasing competition, the successful showcase at CES 2026 demonstrates Hong Kong's capacity to diversify into high-value technology sectors. The awards validate the quality of research and development occurring within Hong Kong's innovation ecosystem and signal to global investors that the city produces world-class technological solutions.
For the global technology industry, Hong Kong's emergence as an innovation hub offers new partnership opportunities and access to specialized expertise in areas like digital health and security technology. The city's strategic location and connectivity to mainland China provide unique advantages for companies seeking to bridge Eastern and Western markets.
