(HKSTP), operator of the Hong Kong Science Park, led a delegation of 13 firms to showcase their latest innovations at the 27th China Hi-Tech Fair, which concluded Sunday in Shenzhen. The three-day fair attracted participants from over 120 countries and regions and 450,000 professional visitors. It featured the launch of more than 5,000 new products and secured intended transactions and investment exceeding 170 billion yuan (US$23.9 billion). HKSTP’s curated pavilion highlighted advancements in key sectors such as AI, robotics, new energy, semiconductors, and biomedicine. “Hong Kong Science Park is a major hardware technology base focused on AI, life sciences, and green tech,” said Pheona Kan, director of New Ventures at HKSTP. “We’re here to help our companies discover business opportunities and find real-world applications for their technologies.” One standout exhibitor, Meinong Robot, demonstrated an agricultural robot that automates fruit harvesting using AI vision and robotic arms. “Our system is fully automated and can achieve up to 20 times the efficiency of manual labor,” said founder and CEO Devin Lee. “Our users can initiate a harvesting task via a mobile app.” The company has attracted interest from both Chinese and foreign markets, including Australia, Mexico, South Korea, and Europe. Another participant, Geosys Hong Kong Ltd., presented a spatial digital twin computing system for the low-altitude economy. “This platform allows us to simulate and model airspace data, significantly improving flight safety by providing vivid simulations prior to actual flights,” explained its business development director Jack Zhang. Kan emphasized the fair’s role in bridging research with market application and strengthening Hong Kong-Shenzhen collaboration. “This energizes the innovation ecosystem across Hong Kong and the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area,” she noted. “HKSTP is committed to guiding tech companies in their global expansion, using Hong Kong as a springboard into Asian markets.” |
