    CES 2025: Hong Kong start-ups out in force as city strives to become Asian tech hub

    Published on

    The 2025 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) has seen a record number of Hong Kong tech companies showcase their innovations in Las Vegas, in a sign of the city’s commitment to become a key player in the global tech landscape.

    Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation (HKSTP) organised a pavilion featuring 51 exhibitors, from tech companies to local institutes. The delegation, supported by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council and the Hong Kong Electronics Industries Association, is presenting a range of innovations from green technology to health sciences.

    Nearly 100 Hong Kong-registered companies are exhibiting at CES, according to the show’s website, compared to around 30 from Singapore. In total, CES attracted over 4,500 exhibitors from more than 160 countries and regions, including around 1,400 start-ups.

    “Hong Kong’s innovation and entrepreneurship environment is getting stronger,” said HKSTP CEO Albert Wong Hak-keung. “We welcome all Science Park companies to showcase their products on the world stage.” He hopes that the participation in CES will help Hong Kong companies secure new business, attract users, and draw potential investment.

    This year’s CES, running from January 7 to 10 in Las Vegas, was expected to draw 150,000 attendees. The Hong Kong Pavilion, situated among pavilions from other countries, including Korea, Japan, Italy, and France, has seen a steady stream of visitors during the week.

    Three HKSTP-supported companies saw their products receive recognition at the CES Innovation Awards 2025: the Rocket 2.0 smart irrigation system from Full Nature Farms, a wearable for the visually impaired from Vidi Labs called Seekr, and the world’s smallest three-axis micro gimbal stabiliser developed by Vista InnoTech.

    Established in 2001, HKSTP has cultivated a robust technology ecosystem, encompassing around 400,000 square metres of research and development and lab space across different locations in Hong Kong, with a 94 per cent occupancy rate. A 31,000-square metre facility in Shenzhen was launched in 2023.
