Hong Kong Expands its Global Technology Footprint at CES 2025

The Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) along with the Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation (HKSTP) has announced an impressive enhanced presence at CES 2025.

Hong Kong: A Daunting Force in Technology

In 2023, Hong Kong’s electronics industry emerged as a key pillar of the economy, accounting for around 70.4% of the city's overall exports. The city has carved out a significant niche as a global exporter of integrated circuits and plays a crucial role in the markets for smartphones and computer accessories. That same year, electronics exports saw a robust increase of 14.9%, bolstering trade relationships with major markets including mainland China, ASEAN, the European Union, the United States, and Taiwan.

The Shenzhen-Hong Kong-Guangzhou science and technology cluster has gained global acclaim, securing the rank of the second most innovative area on the WIPO Global Innovation Index 2024. Moreover, Hong Kong has consistently demonstrated its prowess in digital competitiveness, ranked within the top 10 on the IMD World Digital Competitiveness Ranking since 2019. The entrepreneurial scene is also thriving, with over 4,200 startups accounting for the creation of approximately 16,453 jobs in 2023.
