Celebrating its 41st anniversary this year, Chung Pak is a leading manufacturer of single-use batteries and rechargeable batteries in Hong Kong. To show that our company remains healthy, we have maintained our presence at the Hong Kong Electronics Fair (Autumn Edition). The fair provides a good place for us to promote our new products including two new models of power stations that provide electricity support for electric vehicles, camping and emergency use. So far, we have met with more than 20 buyers who are interested in our rechargeable batteries and they will confirm orders soon.

Our company provides a wide range of energy, environment and waste management services. We have been participating in the Eco Expo Asia for more than 10 years because it provides an ideal platform for us to enhance our visibility and cooperate with business partners from all over the world to combat global warming and climate change. At this year’s expo, we have met with 10 buyers who want to cooperate with us to develop high-value-added environmental protection projects such as green buildings, disinfectant spray for coronavirus, and organic fish feed. We are going to have virtual meetings with overseas buyers through the HKTDC’s Click2Match service. The offline and online hybrid mode has become the new normal under the pandemic

We promote our indoor hydroponic smart grower and encourage a greener lifestyle through the Eco Expo Asia. We have met with more than 20 buyers from Europe and Hong Kong who have expressed strong interest in our smart growers and further negotiations will be conducted after the expo. The physical expo allows us to have face-to-face meetings and interactions with buyers and let them know how our smart grower combines life science and innovative technology to reduce carbon emission and a chieve sustainable development goals.

Using IoT technology, we create smart helmets and collision prevention systems that can improve the health and safety of construction workers and the management of construction sites, maximise work efficiency and save construction costs. As we target local customers, Innobuild held physically under the pandemic provides an excellent platform for us to connect with new customers in the local market and introduce our smart products to them. During the first two days of the fair, we have made some 40 new contacts from construction companies and government departments, far exceeding our expectation. We expect 30% of our new contacts will buy our products after the fair. We are satisfied with the results of the fair.

We have developed the Data Literacy Empowerment Programme (DLEP) to nurture data talent who can help corporates to achieve digital transformation.

At this year’s Expo, we have received strong responses from buyers and established more than 60 new contacts mostly from Hong Kong and also from Europe and India.

We’ll have virtual meetings with three potential business partners from Indonesia, Russia and the UAE via the Click2Match platform and we trust the virtual meetings can help us to explore more opportunities in these new markets.

Langham Hospitality Group is a global hotel company with more than 30 properties located in major cities over four continents. Sustainability is the key objective of our group. The Eco Expo Asia provides an ideal platform for me to look for new equipment that can save water and electricity and improve energy efficiency. I am considering adopting a smart fan coil unit with an energy-saving Permanent Magnet Synchronous (PMS) motor and also a water treatment system for use in air-conditioning main plant room to save water and electricity. Before procurement, I’ll conduct due diligence checks on the factories, review their job references and verify their KPIs.
