The Hong Kong Electronics Fair (Autumn Edition) 2026 runs October 13 to 16 at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre, organised by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council, with electronicAsia running concurrently at the same venue. A separate Global Sources show runs October 11 to 14 at AsiaWorld-Expo, giving buyers two major sourcing destinations in the same week. Together the HKTDC technology fairs expect more than 3,200 exhibitors from 28 countries and regions.
The draw this year is robots and applied AI, not the gadget-and-accessory framing that defined the fair in earlier years. The organiser's preview highlights more than 120 robots on the floor, including humanoid machines and robot dogs, alongside brainwave-controlled games in an Immersive Experience Zone — demos designed to be photographed and shared as much as sampled. A new Future Industries Zone groups five themes: Future Computing, Future Manufacturing, Future Marine and Quantum Technologies, Future Microelectronics, and Future Wellness. The hall layout also includes a Hall of Fame for established brands, a RISE Avenue and Tech Hall for emerging applications, a Startup Zone, and a RoboPark.
The fair sits deliberately in the pre-holiday ordering window, which is why it tends to preview next year's specification direction rather than only show what is already on shelves. For a global reader, the angle is straightforward: a trade show that has visibly reorganised itself around robots and AI, not just consumer electronics.
Cross-border reach is the fair's other selling point. The HKTDC markets the event to buyers from more than 140 countries, and the co-located electronicAsia extends the robotics and components story. Two digital layers run alongside the physical show — an online Click2Match business-matching window and an extended sourcing period — so meetings are not confined to the four days in Hong Kong.
For context, the most recent pre-show guidance described the prior edition as drawing close to 2,900 exhibitors from 17 countries and roughly 60,000 buyers from 142 countries, a useful baseline even if 2026 figures are still being finalised.
The story travels in any language because the image is simple: walk among 120 robots, watch a humanoid move, and control a game with your brain. That is the fair Hong Kong is putting forward in 2026 — less a gadget bazaar, more a working snapshot of where applied AI is actually landing.
