The eighth edition of the Hong Kong Electronics Fair (Spring Edition), running from today until Saturday, is one of the key events for the industry, regionally and globally. More than ever, the electronics industry is at the forefront of consumer trends. From the ubiquitous smartphone to audio-visual entertainment and uses for industry, electronics are becoming more central to daily life, and some breathtaking innovations will be on show at the Hong Kong Exhibition and Convention Centre.

The HKTDC is also hosting two similarly themed trade fairs simultaneously - the International ICT Expo and the Hong Kong International Lighting Fair (Spring Edition). These three events aim to provide a huge number of businesses and third-party clients with access to a wide array of innovative, up-to-the-minute technologies and products.

The electronics fair features an array of products and services, including audio-visual equipment, the latest navigation systems, telecommunications products and testing, and inspection and certification services. It is the premier sourcing hub for electronics products in Asia.

One of the fair's leading features is the Hall of Fame, a dedicated area showcasing the top names in the business. The organiser is also launching two new product display zones, Silver Market and eAccessories.
