The debut HKTDC Smart Lighting Expo is a good platform to promote our customised smart lighting products and apps targeting high spending markets in Australia and Europe. We are so happy that on the first day of the fair, three buyers from Australia and Europe expressed their intention to place orders for our smart lighting control systems, track lights, downlights and linear lights worth RMB2.8 million in total. We expect two to three more buyers will place orders worth RMB1 million in total during the last two days of the fair. We are very satisfied with the fair’s results and have already signed up for next year’s Smart Lighting Expo.

We export our smart lighting control solutions and products mainly to Europe. We are pleased to see the debut of the HKTDC Smart Lighting Expo which provides a good and more specialised marketplace for both suppliers and buyers. The Expo has greatly increased our company exposure. We have met with more overseas buyers this time. Meanwhile, the Click2Match platform provides an effective way for us to pre-arrange meeting schedules with two to three new buyers who are interested in our smart lighting solutions and products.

We are the sole agent of Helvar smart lighting control solutions in Hong Kong and Mainland China. We have chosen the Smart Lighting Expo as an important platform to increase our brand exposure. Before that, we have never participated in any trade fair in Hong Kong. We are pleased to introduce our smart lighting control solutions to various local and overseas buying missions invited by the HKTDC. These include the Electrical and Mechanical Services Department and CLP. By using the Click2Match platform, we have met with five to six new buyers. So far, we have found more than 10 potential buyers from Hong Kong and Mainland China for cooperation. In view of positive feedback from buyers, we are interested in exhibiting in next year’s Smart Lighting Expo and this year’s Autumn Lighting Fair.

Alphaluce is an Italian brand that provides one-stop smart lighting solutions for different spaces such as shops, clubhouses, restaurants, offices and homes. To showcase how our one-stop lighting solutions fit into different scenarios, we have expanded the size of our booth by two times as compared to last year’s Spring Lighting Fair and relocated our booth to the inaugural Smart Lighting Expo. We have established connections with new buyers from India, Oceania, Russia and Southeast Asia. Buying groups from different countries and regions led by the HKTDC visited our booth, helping us to promote our brand image. Three to five new buyers from India and Russia will place orders with us for US$50,000 worth of decorative lighting products. To further increase our brand exposure, we’ll double the size of our booth at the Autumn Lighting Fair to be held in October.
We specialise in the production of LED lighting sources and fixtures, with Europe being our major market. We are a long-term supporter of the Autumn Lighting Fair. After the pandemic, we think it is important for us to participate in more lighting trade fairs like the inaugural Smart Lighting Expo in order to approach more overseas buyers in- person. We have got in touch with more than 50 new buyers from Brazil, Europe and North America and expect at least 10% of the new buyers will place orders.

Smart lighting is the foundation for every project that we are handling in Australia. I am very happy to visit the inaugural Smart Lighting Expo and the concurrent Spring Lighting Fair this year. I have found two potential suppliers of smart lighting control systems from Hong Kong and Mainland China after attending the meetings pre-arranged through the Click2Match platform. I have also seen some new models for explosion-proof lighting, street lighting and façade lighting. I’ll place orders for assorted products worth US$400,000 and come to see more smart lighting solutions and technologies in the Smart Lighting Expo next year.

Alien Energy is a lighting manufacturer and consultant for eco-friendly projects in India. The Hong Kong International Lighting Fair held twice a year is crucial to our business development because we always come here to find new suppliers and keep abreast of the latest technologies. The future is smart lighting and I am highly interested in the brand-new Smart Lighting Expo. I have found new suppliers of magnetic track lights and smart lighting control systems at the Spring Lighting Fair and the Smart Lighting Expo respectively. I plan to buy US$500,000 worth of magnetic track lights, LED bulbs, LED drivers, LED neon lights and smart lighting control systems through the twin shows.

Our group is a provincial-level enterprise engaged in the design and EPC (engineering, procurement and construction) of residential projects and public infrastructure. The Spring Lighting Fair and the Smart Lighting Expo are world-class trade fairs where I can assess the latest lighting trends and the technological level of international suppliers. One of the striking innovations that I have found at the Smart Lighting Expo is street lighting incorporating energy storage, illumination and smart control system supplied by an exhibitor from Mainland China. I’ll ask our purchasing team to follow up.

I visit the Smart Lighting Expo to see the latest smart lighting solutions, energy-saving and eco-friendly products for smart city development projects in Thailand. I’ll provide my suggestions to related government departments and bridge the supply and demand sides. At the Expo, I have seen new and interesting technologies such as solar wrap poles, smart home solutions and horticultural lighting. I’ll share these new technology updates with related government departments and the public in a webinar in Thailand. I’ll recommend the Expo to the Department of Alternative Energy Development & Efficiency and the Illuminating Engineering Association of Thailand too.
