The "Physical + Online" exhibition focuses on fashion products to help exhibitors accurately capture business opportunities

23 November 2021 – To help SMEs continue to cope with their procurement patterns and business challenges under the pandemic, the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) will hold the "Fashion Sourcing Exchange" | Entity + Online Exhibition next Wednesday (1 December) to attract more than 580 companies from 9 countries and regions to participate in the latest products from various industries, including toys, baby products, gifts and premiums, Housewares, glasses and fine wine. The physical exhibition will be held first at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre in Wan Chai from 1 to 3 December, while the online exhibition will facilitate the continued negotiation between buyers and sellers after the physical exhibition from 6 to 10 December.

The "Fashion Sourcing Hub" physical exhibition will showcase a wide range of consumer lifestyle products and solutions in the form of display counters. In terms of online exhibitions, Fashion Sourcing Hub will continue to provide exhibitors with 3D virtual exhibition booths to promote brands and products to buyers with creative visual effects to highlight product features. As in the past, the online exhibition has a business matching platform "Click2Match", which uses artificial intelligence to make matching promotions for buyers and sellers, providing conference arrangements, video conferences, live chat and electronic business card swaps, etc., to help enterprises establish connections through the online exhibition platform under the epidemic.

"Online Plus Entity" Exhibition Continues to Be Held Affected
by the epidemic, the HKTDC held the "International Sourcing Hub" for the first time under the "Online Plus Entity" exhibition mode from March to July this year, which won the favor of many exhibitors and buyers, reflecting market demand. According to an online survey conducted during the exhibition in March, the majority of buyers (82%) prefer to participate in exhibitions with both online and physical elements, opening up business opportunities in an online and offline mode.

"HKTDC is gradually resuming holding physical exhibitions in Hong Kong and will continue to hold activities in a mixed 'online and physical' model so that SMEs can fully grasp digital opportunities despite various travel restrictions," said HKTDC Vice President, Mr. Chow Kai-leung. ERB has been promoting digitalization to help SMEs make good use of technology to upgrade and transform. Complementing the "offline first, online later" model, Fashion Sourcing Hub mobilizes a network of 50 offices around the world to help exhibitors and buyers capture business opportunities with the help of e-commerce and new technologies first, through the quality of the ERB's exhibition facilities."
