Tyk Technologies provides solutions for managing and securing application programming interfaces and artificial intelligence systems. Through InnoEX, we hope to connect with organisations and businesses looking for stronger digital infrastructure and security solutions, particularly in Hong Kong, the Chinese Mainland, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations region and other international markets.
We believe Hong Kong is an exceptional location for an event of this scale. As a highly international hub connecting the Chinese Mainland with markets around the world, Hong Kong brings together a diverse mix of businesses, technologies and talent, creating an ideal environment for innovation, collaboration and business exchange.
This is a high-calibre international platform that attracts quality buyers, innovators and businesses from around the world, giving exhibitors excellent exposure and meaningful opportunities to build new connections. Even in just one morning, around 200 visitors came to our booth, and seven to eight business contacts were generated through Click2Match. This clearly shows the fair’s strong potential to help companies like ours reach international buyers and expand globally through Hong Kong.
Over the four-day fair, we hope to reach more than 30 potential customers. One of the products we are showcasing is Tyk AI Studio, a newly launched solution that helps organisations manage and secure artificial intelligence tools and endpoints within their systems. As artificial intelligence adoption continues to grow, solutions like this are becoming increasingly important for businesses seeking to innovate in a secure and well-governed way.
Hi-Think Technology focuses on providing digitalisation, intelligent transformation and artificial intelligence solutions for overseas markets. This year, we are showcasing 19 solution packages covering a wide range of practical industry applications, including emergency command, smart tourism, financial risk control, compliance management and enterprise digital transformation.
We have participated in the fair for three consecutive years, and this year’s edition has once again demonstrated why Hong Kong is such an important international hub for innovation and technology exchange. Hong Kong’s strategic location, strong global connectivity and unique role in linking the Chinese Mainland with overseas markets make it an ideal platform for companies like ours to expand internationally.
Since the start of the fair, we have already identified around 10 potential clients for follow-up discussions, with visitors coming from the US, Europe, Southeast Asia and other overseas markets. The fact that a large share of the interest we have received is international is especially positive, and reinforces our view that Hong Kong is a highly effective springboard for overseas expansion.
At the same time, we have also started exploring cooperation opportunities with other exhibitors, as many technologies on display are complementary to our own solutions. This kind of exchange is very meaningful, because today’s innovation ecosystem is no longer about working in isolation, but about building partnerships and creating integrated solutions together.
What is particularly impressive about InnoEX is the breadth and diversity it brings together. Compared with more narrowly focused showcases, the fair gathers a broader mix of industries, technologies and markets, which significantly enhances the quality of dialogue and the potential for collaboration.
Hokushin Polaris Technologies Co,. Ltd. assists overseas fintech companies in expanding into the Japanese market, offering support given Japan’s challenging and strict regulatory systems.
Given that the IT Innovation and Strategy Center Okinawa signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Hong Kong Trade Development Council last year, we were invited to join this year’s fair to promote our other financial technology business.
InnoEX introduces us to companies utilising cutting-edge technologies that simply do not exist in Japan yet. There was a promising business match with a venture partner from Indonesia who supports Southeast Asian startups looking to expand into Japan. The event is a fantastic starting point for global expansion as Hong Kong acts as a springboard for quality and international variety, despite our close geography, which is far more efficient than trying to approach each country individually.
InnoEX is an important platform to enhance visibility, connect with partners and explore global market opportunities.
What has impressed us most is the fair’s strong international reach and highly effective business matching. Before the exhibition began, we had already secured three pre-arranged business meetings through the platform, and during the fair we identified two overseas buyers with particularly high potential. We also received strong interest from visitors from Brazil, Tajikistan, Kazakhstan and Malaysia, which clearly reflects the fair’s ability to attract quality buyers from diverse overseas markets.
Hong Kong is especially important to us because it combines the strengths of the Chinese Mainland with a highly international business environment. It is an ideal gateway for Mainland enterprises to go global, and it allows us to connect with significantly more overseas buyers than we would usually reach elsewhere.
We are also very encouraged by Hong Kong’s policy support for innovation and technology, as well as for the development of the low-altitude economy. Since establishing our Hong Kong branch, we have been actively strengthening local collaboration. In March this year, we signed an agreement with The Hong Kong Polytechnic University on a joint laboratory, and we are currently in active discussions with the Hong Kong Productivity Council, the Hong Kong Trade Development Council and other institutions. This gives us strong confidence in Hong Kong’s role as a supportive and forward-looking innovation hub.
One of the standout strengths of the Hong Kong Trade Development Council’s exhibition platform is its efficient and well-organised business matching. Compared with many other fairs, the Hong Kong Trade Development Council proactively brings important buyers to exhibitors, arranges meetings in advance and follows up closely on appointments, which greatly improves matching efficiency and enables exhibitors to connect with target clients more precisely.
At this stage, our focus is not only on immediate transactions, but also on building market awareness and laying the groundwork for future partnerships and deals. Based on the quality of the buyers and discussions so far, we are very positive about the follow-up potential. Overall, we believe InnoEX is a highly effective platform for promoting innovation, strengthening international exchange and helping companies connect with global opportunities through Hong Kong.

This is our first time participating in InnoEX, and the international exposure has exceeded our expectations. We have already connected with buyers and partners from over 10 to 15 countries, including Hong Kong, Singapore, India, Kazakhstan and other global markets, demonstrating the truly international reach of the fair.
In terms of business outcomes, although we are still at an early stage, we are targeting to secure 2 to 3 deals during or shortly after the fair, with an estimated total deal value of US$1 million to US$10 million. So far, we have engaged with more than 10 potential partners through direct meetings and follow-ups, and additional connections have been made via the HKTDC’s Click2Match and Scan2Match platforms, which have helped facilitate efficient and targeted business matching.
What makes Hong Kong particularly important for us is its role as a global trading hub. Successfully establishing partnerships here will make it significantly easier for us to expand into Chinese Mainland and other international markets. Compared to other locations, Hong Kong offers a more concentrated and efficient platform to connect with investors, medical partners, and industry stakeholders.
Overall, InnoEX provides strong buyer traffic, and also valuable opportunities for strategic collaboration across sectors, including healthcare, pharmaceuticals, retail and elderly care. We are confident that this platform will accelerate our global expansion and open up substantial new business opportunities.
This time, we are partnering with Wild Faces, illustrating the Edge AI solution to our customers. Our main objectives are to connect with potential exhibitors here, in order to expand and develop the land of technology.
This is my first time exhibiting here, and the experience is very memorable. We have identified around 50-60, potential buyers from diverse sectors—government, manufacturing, infrastructure facility management, etc. They come from various parts of the world, mostly from Southeast Asia and especially Indonesia. This fair is definitely an effective platform for our business to globalise, especially across Asia, and even beyond it—it provides us with the opportunity to connect with companies from the Middle East and Russia, whose work and solutions are also amazing. We do expect to receive a lot of orders with high returns. Also, I like the new RoboPark zone, as it brings all the latest technology and exhibitors together, forming a good community of innovators effectively.

At this year’s InnoEX, we clearly saw the strong industry trends in Low Altitude Economy (LAE) and AI. Visibility and buyer recognition at the new Low Altitude Economy zone have been significantly higher, as it filters quality buyers who specifically come looking for solutions with this emerging technology.
Such opportunities brought us in-depth engagements, with entire companies and their departments coming for lengthy discussions about their specific challenges and requirements, exactly what an expo should deliver. The opportunity for detailed and practical conversations led us to meeting around 20 quality contacts per day, with a majority already arranging follow-up discussions.These project values vary around HK$1 million, while others are larger or smaller depending on the scope. One particular client caught our interest at the fair, a Malaysian client doing palm plantation with construction needs. It is highly beneficial to build partnerships with companies from nearby countries and regions.
The HKTDC staff and business matching team have been excellent at introducing well-matched potential buyers. One buyer even told us that we were the exhibitor they most wanted to visit, and the HKTDC team specifically brought them to our booth.
Our company has developed an AI‑driven health management and service integration system that tracks your full health lifecycle, predicts disease risk, and monitors both physical and mental health.

Our system is a new product in the market, and InnoEX provides us with the opportunity to showcase it and gain exposure to potential buyers. This fair is one of the most important innovation events in Hong Kong, where we can meet buyers from all over the world. A key advantage of holding this fair in Hong Kong is the diversity of international buyers from regions such as the Middle East, Central Asia, and Southeast Asia, many of whom see Hong Kong as a hub and a connector to Chinese Mainland, visiting this fair specifically to look for innovative products from Mainland Chinese companies.
We have connected with five potential buyers from Chinese Mainland and Japan, and we signed an MOU with a partner from the Philippines on behalf of a hospital network, with an approximate value of USD 1 million. This partnership will help us bring our product to the Southeast Asian market and promote digital health infrastructure worldwide, especially in less developed countries. As they were looking for a solution to narrow the gap between doctors and patients, our system addresses the mismatch between limited healthcare infrastructure and high medical demand, and a business matching meeting arranged by HKTDC directly led to this signing.
InnoEX is very well organised and has helped us better understand the latest industry trends. Moreover, the Scan2Match and Click2Match tools made it easy for us to connect with buyers. This is our first time at this fair, and it has been very fruitful, we would definitely consider coming back.

We also wish to reassure our clients in Hong Kong that we maintain strong momentum in R&D and look forward to future opportunities for collaboration.
As is widely recognised, Chinese Mainland’s robotics technology leads the world, and Hong Kong serves as the ideal window for showcasing these cutting-edge technologies to international clients. This not only helps manufacturers from Hong Kong and Chinese Mainland expand into global markets, but also provides overseas buyers with an excellent platform for procurement and networking.
Overall, we were very pleased with the fair. Several potential clients came to our stand and discussed potential collaboration in depth. We were also impressed by the number of dedicated robotics companies exhibiting their products, and the overall atmosphere was excellent. So far, we have connected with around 50 potential clients. In our view, even securing one order would make the exhibition investment worthwhile, while achieving more would surpass our expectations.
We have built strong relationships with diverse overseas clients in countries such as Russia, India, Japan, Thailand and Malaysia, many of whom contact us proactively. Most of these clients are local distributors. They recognise the potential of their local robotics markets, but, due to limited product options and a lack of suitable suppliers, they actively seek us out.
Overall, the fair has fostered our overseas markets' expansion and steadily built a wider global client network, creating additional business opportunities.
Based in Shaanxi Province, China, we are a technology company focused on R&D. The core products on display at this exhibition include coloured sand coatings, waterproof mortar, water-retention agents and activated water-retaining sand. Our primary objective is to foster global awareness of our products and to utilise this platform as a means of promoting them to international audience across all nations.
Hong Kong, as a leading international city, has been connected to the global stage for a longer period, resulting in a higher level of engagement from overseas clients. Compared with the Chinese Mainland, it draws a significantly greater number of international visitors to the exhibition. This is the distinct advantage that Hong Kong's strategic geographical position brings to the event.
This fair enables us to draw considerable interest from overseas clients, including visitors from Russia, Indonesia, India, and Saudi Arabia, as well as some local students from Hong Kong keen to learn more about our work.

Hong Kong and the fair remain extremely valuable for us to see the experience and expertise of the companies here in person.
We have identified 5 solid contacts, and we hope to reach more than 20 by the end of the fair. Most of the exhibitors of interest to us were from the Chinese Mainland and Hong Kong, with one also from England. TOur budget for these projects ranges from US$1,000,000 to US$5,000,000, as these exhibitors are effective for us to go global and enter new markets.
RoboPark was very attractive to walk around and see the latest robotics up close. Scan2Match was also effective for us in logging potential exhibitors, with proper company descriptions, which is much better than just a simple business card with contact information. I was also able to jot down my own notes next to the exhibitors I saved down as well.
We will definitely come back as the fair is useful in seeing the latest developments in one place.
As the national railway company of Kazakhstan, we participated in InnoEX to visit emerging technologies and solutions for our railway system back home.

We joined InnoEX last year as exhibitors, and our positive experience made us come back as buyers. We have met around 10 organisations from the government, private, and universities, and we are exploring collaboration opportunities. For example, developing a science park in the Philippines, or collaborating with universities to develop incubation programmes, and participating in international innovation competitions.
The fair helps our startups go global, and they might as well be able to enter the Hong Kong market. We are very happy with the activities and opportunities at the fair.
