Travellers needing visas or simply looking for the latest entry-requirement guidance can streamline the whole process with VisaHQ’s Hong Kong service (https://www.visahq.com/hong-kong/), which provides up-to-date information, digital application tools and express processing—ensuring attendees arrive ready to make the most of the fairs.
Deputy Executive Director Jenny Koo said pre-registration from overseas buyers is tracking 11 per cent above 2025 levels, reflecting renewed confidence in Hong Kong as a meetings-and-exhibitions hub. Highlights this year include “RoboPark”, showcasing over 100 service and industrial robots, and a Low-Altitude Economy conference on urban air mobility. Tencent, Huawei International and Lenovo will exhibit alongside 40 start-ups from Cyberport, HKSTP and the Hong Kong-Shenzhen Innovation & Technology Park. The fairs fall under the government’s Business of Innovation and Technology Week and qualify visitors for ‘MICE e-Channel’ fast-track immigration clearance on arrival. Hotel groups report average daily rates up 14 per cent for the mid-April window, while Cathay Pacific has added extra Bangkok, Singapore and Seoul frequencies to accommodate delegate demand. For global-mobility teams the events signal heavier hotel compression on Hong Kong Island and tighter restaurant availability; advance booking and shuttle planning are advised. The fairs also showcase Hong Kong’s push to lure tech talent, with on-site job-matching sessions for overseas engineers under the city’s Top Talent Pass Scheme.
