HKPC’s first “E-commerce Innovation Expo 2026” Expanding Brand Horizons with Cross-border E-commerce, AI, and more

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 11 June 2026 – As e-commerce continues to surge, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are seeking effective pathways for business development and transformation. To support the HKSAR Government’s e-commerce policy initiatives “Creativity * E-commerce – Beyond Limits”, the Hong Kong Productivity Council (HKPC), with support of the Commerce and Economic Development Bureau (CEDB), and in partnership with the Trade and Industry Department, will co-organise the inaugural “E-commerce Innovation Expo 2026” (Expo). Held on 25 and 26 June at the HKPC Building, the annual flagship event spotlighting cross-border e-commerce will bring together tech innovation, brand and IP licensing, global platform support, and market expansion strategies. Hang Seng Bank is the Expo’s Diamond Partner, with support from over 240 supporting organisations. Featuring 80+ booths alongside a series of seminars, LIVE workshops, business matching sessions, and instant one-on-one consultations, the Expo aims to assist SMEs in expanding brand horizons from local to global.

In the 2026–27 Budget, the Government allocated additional funding to schemes such as the “BUD Fund” to help enterprises strengthen competitiveness and expand into new markets through technologies like AI. Various initiatives will also be rolled out to support upgrading and development of enterprises. However, amid rapid market changes, many SMEs are unsure where to start. HKPC’s “SME ReachOut” bridges policy resources with practical business needs, providing comprehensive, tailored support to address SMEs’ challenges. This Expo is a key initiative by the team, offering a one-stop platform that guides SMEs step by step, from strategy formulation to execution, empowering brands to achieve borderless expansion through e-commerce.

The Expo will feature 5 thematic exhibition zones, including Cross-border E-commerce Experience, New Retail Tech Application, Brand x IP Value-added, Smart Operations, and E-commerce Go-Global Support. Gathering 80+ exhibitors, the zones bring together e-commerce platforms, technology and business service providers, IP licensors, and Government funding booths. From platform selection and brand building to smart operations and worldwide expansion, all the key pillars of going global are precisely addressed.

10+ workshops and live showcases will be held, offering expert insights, success stories, practical examples, innovative solutions, instant consultations, and business matching opportunities to help SMEs develop effective plans for going global.
