New online-to-offline fairs, rescheduled show dates and virtual conferences will help companies continue doing business as usual during the ongoing pandemic.

New Online-to-Offline Exhibition

Exhibitions are a vital component of the business of SMEs, helping to secure an average of 40 percent of orders for such companies. The fact that it will still be difficult to stage local trade shows in a physical form in the first half of 2021 will have a significant impact on SMEs. In response, the HKTDC is launching a brand-new sourcing event, the HKTDC International Sourcing Show, that will consolidate seven HKTDC trade fairs originally scheduled to be held in spring. The new event will run from March to July 2021 and will be held in online and physical formats, exploring business opportunities across a range of industries.
