I continued to contact exhibitors during the fairs’ temporary closure due to typhoon through HKTDC’s Click2Match smart business matching platform at hotel and successfully arranged online meetings. I also returned to the venue when the exhibition reopened and continued the conversation with these exhibitors I contacted online before. I love Click2Match because it allows me to connect with exhibitors anytime, anywhere!
Established in 2008 with a factory in Dongguan, Mainland China, we specialise in the design and production of fashion accessories. To strengthen buyers' confidence, we specifically displayed our SGS and SEDEX certifications at our booth. We will also upload these certifications to the hktdc.com Sourcing platform as soon as possible to attract more buyers.

We also have received product enquiries from buyers in the United States, Australia, Spain, Thailand, Hong Kong, and Mainland China.

Approximately 30% of our annual revenue generated through the HKTDC channels. Asia holds immense potential, and the Hong Kong Gifts and Premium Fair helps us connect with new buyers. We also list products via the hktdc.com Sourcing platform, showcasing our diverse marquetry capabilities. The platform’s message centre appears instrumental. Recent enquiries from India, Slovenia, Türkiye, Nigeria, and other regions highlight the global appeal of new markets, with one Indian buyer even requesting 75 units of our photo frames, indicating strong interest based on the online product displays. We intent to expand our digital presence and participate in HKTDC events further, aiming to leverage platforms such as hktdc.com Sourcing and Scan2Match to drive online and offline enquiries and orders.

In addition, there were also small quantity orders from clients in the UK, Germany, and Hong Kong, with each order being around 1,000 pieces, worth approximately US$200, which helps the company establish long-term cooperative relationships with new clients. In addition, we have also received enquiries from clients in the United States, Canada, South Africa, France, the United Arab Emirates, Indonesia, Thailand, and other countries through the platform, all of whom are interested in their custom ballpoint pens. Furthermore, The quality of the buyers on Click2Match is very good.

A buyer from the United Arab Emirates contacted us by scanning the Scan2Match QR code at our booth.
Established in 1997, we have evolved from an exhibition equipment factory into an integrated industry and trade company. We have participated in the Printing & Packaging Fair for four times. The exhibition is continually improving, and the buyer base is highly targeted. We particularly praised the hktdc.com Sourcing platform's Customer Relationship Team. They are very professional and patient. They called three times to remind me to update the information on the online platform and guided me patiently with any questions I had. As a result, before the exhibition commenced, we had uploaded our latest product information, added detailed description, optimised product photos, and refined our keywords. Within a short time, we received enquiries from buyers in Vietnam, Australia, and the United States. We also uploaded CE certification information along with reports on environmental protection and flame retardancy. We believe that providing comprehensive product certification information will significantly enhance the platform’s promotional effectiveness.
We choose EFAE because of its popularity. We have met with around 2-3 potential buyers from Taiwan nursing homes, and Korea on the first half day.

Since established in 1993, we have recently transformed from a knitting product manufacturer into a hybrid enterprise encompassing e-commerce, manufacturing, and trading. Face-to-face interaction is beneficial for connecting with suitable clients. We participate in the Fashion InStyle every year. On the first day of the exhibition, we successfully connected with five high-quality clients from Mainland China.

The hktdc.com Sourcing platform has consistently brought traffic to the company. In the past, enquiries from the platform mainly came from buyers in Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, and Germany. Now, the number of enquiries from buyers in regions such as Türkiye, the United Arab Emirates, and the Middle East is constantly increasing.

Foshan Shunde Lonsun Electrical Appliance Company Limited specialises in manufacturing baby care products, including bottle warmers, sterilisers, and bottle tongs, primarily exporting to South Asia, Central and South America, and Western Europe.

Three months prior to the exhibition, we updated our product information on hktdc.com Sourcing, which attracted enquiries from both new and existing buyers in Italy, France, the UK, the US, and Brazil. An Australian buyer discovered us through a keyword search on the platform, after several exchanges, we provided them with samples of our bottle warmer for their testing. We also utilised the Click2Match AI business matching service to pre-arrange meetings with highly matched buyers from Spain, Thailand, and Myanmar at their booth, leading to in-depth discussions. We noticed many new buyers scanning the QR code at our booth and leaving their contact information.

I bought stocks worth US$15,000 from a new supplier identified through the Click2Match platform during the pandemic. I met this supplier in person at last year’s Autumn Lighting Fair and placed several orders worth US$50,000. It is a smart way to find new suppliers through both offline and online channels.

On the first day of the exhibition, I noticed that buyers from the United Kingdom, Thailand, Türkiye, and Bulgaria scanned our QR code after visiting the booth. Upon checking the hktdc.com Sourcing platform, I realised that they had all sent me enquiries regarding our newly developed light-up pin art. This is a valuable way to collect buyer information.

Recently, we've received enquiries from the United States, Southeast Asia, Mainland China, and other countries, which supports our long-term development in overseas markets.
Established in 2010, with headquarters and factory located in Foshan, Guangdong, Mainland China, we specialise in the production of LEDs, linear lights, track lights, downlights, and more.

They possess a clear understanding of their sourcing needs and have provided us with valuable insights into new market directions. The HKTDC's exhibition serves as a vital platform for industry exchange. Furthermore, the hktdc.com Sourcing platform has brought new customers to us. Some Southeast Asian buyers utilised the platform to identify their preferred suppliers before the fair.

Additionally, buyers from Germany, Spain, the United States, Mexico, Indonesia, the Philippines, and other regions directly enquired on the platform, and we promptly followed up with email replies.

Founded in 1988, Fiori wholesales watches to 300 retail stores in Canada and just started to sell stainless steel jewellery as well. Over the past two years, we found two good watch suppliers from Hong Kong and Mainland China through the HKTDC’s Click2Match platform and kick-started three OEM watch projects worth US$40,000 in total. That’s why we have come to the Hong Kong Watch & Clock Fair in Hong Kong for the first time because we want to meet suppliers face-to-face and touch and feel real products. At the fair, we have found a new supplier of stainless-steel watches and plan to place an initial order worth US$10,000. We have also found a potential supplier of ladies’ watches. We are happy to have met with two existing suppliers here and will consider placing orders for their products again. We’ll continue our sourcing journey through Click2Match after the fair.
Founded in 2014, we have our technology R&D center and factory. We have connected with 12-13 online and offline clients through the EXHIBITION+ platform, which is very useful for keeping in touch with clients who lack time. At the fair, we received 120 business cards from potential buyers and collaborators. We communicated with each of them, and buyers from Indonesia, Canada, Germany, and Australia are the most promising ones.
Our UK-based company specialises in various areas: sourcing and developing products for the retail industry, assisting in creating new product ranges, and providing services such as quality assurance. During my time at the fair, I've connected with both new and existing suppliers to understand market trends and explore networking opportunities. The potential value of orders could reach several million dollars, with projections starting at $100,000 to $200,000. I find Click2Match particularly beneficial for its seamless communication with exhibitors. Its feature allowing for instant sharing of contact information streamlines networking.
AWEG is a jewellery wholesaler and retailer in Poland. I am so happy to visit the Hong Kong International Jewellery Show again after the pandemic. I have found five to ten potential suppliers of 14K gemstone jewellery and silver gemstone jewellery which come with fashionable and simple designs. I’ll place orders with some of them and total amount will be around US$100,000. I have tried the new Scan2Match function to bookmark exhibitor information in the HKTDC Marketplace App. This function is very useful especially when exhibitors are too busy and I don’t have the chance to talk to them.
Chilli Beans has more than 1,000 lifestyle product stores in Brazil, selling watches and clocks as well as sunglasses.

Garming Marine Products is a major supplier of frozen seafood for Chinese and western restaurants in Hong Kong. The Food Expo provides a great opportunity to secure new suppliers every year.

The Click2Match platform is very user-friendly enabling smooth and effective exchanges with overseas suppliers. At the fairground, I’ve found another two seafood suppliers, also from Zhoushan City, at the Zhejiang Province pavilion. The hybrid EXHIBITION+ model really helps us to connect suppliers online and offline for business expansion.
We are an intergovernmental organization under the Ministry of Infrastructure Transport in South Korea. We are non-profit based as well. We have members from different private firms and our goal is to keep them connected and help flourish their businesses. After the fair, we will talk to those potential companies internally and later on link them up with our members. It would be a great opportunity and a kick-start for their collaboration.
Being in InnoEX enables me to meet and introduce the companies doing smart city projects to our member firms. I think that I have reached this main objective as most of the companies I met were based on data solutions, such as data integration, data collection and data management which are always the key solutions we use for Smart City. An Indian company, which is the first one I met interests me a lot. It is really interesting. I also met companies from Hong Kong and mainland China. It is my first time here but I find it amazing. If I hadn’t used the Click2match platform, probably I would not have sorted out the booth I wanted pacifically and talked with them. I think it is a good thing that I have a visit schedule. I like this part for sure.
