HKTDC to create boundless business opportunities with five major trade fairs in early January 2025

Hong Kong and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) have enjoyed robust bilateral trade relations on a range of products and services over the years. Adding to the Hong Kong’s business advantages, Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) gathers the latest market intelligence and form partnerships to develop business for corporations.

Mr Daniel Lam, Regional Director, Middle East & Africa, HKTDC announced here today that five international trade fairs will be held early next year in Hong Kong, which will offer ideal platforms for traders and suppliers from the UAE to expand their businesses into new markets. These fairs are:

• HKTDC Hong Kong Toys & Games Fair (6-9 January)
• HKTDC Hong Kong Baby Products Fair (6-9 January)
• Hong Kong International Stationery Fair (6-9 January)
• HKTDC Hong Kong International Diamond, Gem & Pearl Show (2-6 March)
• HKTDC Hong Kong International Jewellery Show (4-8 March)

“Last year, we staged over 30 major events, attracting over 28,880 exhibitors and over 511,100 physical buyers and participants from Hong Kong, the mainland and around the world”, Mr Daniel Lam said. “Since the resumption of international travel in February 2023, we have seen global exhibitors and buyers returning to Hong Kong in droves, reaffirming Hong Kong’s status as a leading business and investment hub.” He looked forward to welcoming more corporations in the United Arab Emirates to explore business opportunities and tap into global markets through HKTDC exhibitions. He also highly encouraged all buyers, distributors and retailers from the UAE to come to Hong Kong for sourcing.

The UAE is Hong Kong’s 11^th largest trading partner. Until September 2024, the total trade value between the two places reached over USD 12 billion. In which, the UAE was Hong Kong’s 6^th major export market with a total export value of USD 9.1 billion and 17^th largest import source with an import value of USD 2.8 billion.
