Joint organisers of Eco Expo Asia – Messe Frankfurt (HK) Ltd and the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) and co-organisers, The Environment Bureau of the HKSAR Government – have made the decision to migrate the fair onto an online platform hosted by HKTDC. Eco Expo Asia was due to take place at the AsiaWorld-Expo from 28 – 31 October but will now be a part of the HKTDC Autumn Sourcing Week | ONLINE (ASWO) held from 16 to 27 November 2020. In view of the latest epidemic situation, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government has tightened various disease prevention and control measures and extended entry restrictions for incoming visitors, while many countries and regions have also issued travel advisories and alerts. These mean that overseas exhibitors and buyers will have great difficulty joining the fair this October. With support from both joint organisers, co-organisers and industry representatives, the decision has been made to migrate Eco Expo Asia 2020 onto a digital platform, along with a number of other HKTDC fairs. The online platform will allow the environmental protection industry to continue to explore business opportunities, despite the challenging times.
