Hong Kong serves as a promising platform for global food importers and distributors to extend their reach into markets across Mainland China and the broader Asian region.
Food Expo PRO aims to strengthen Hong Kong's position as a business hub for the food industry in Mainland China, Asia, and the world. It provides a one-stop business platform that helps F&B industry players explore opportunities, build connections and foster innovation.
This year, the Expo continues to present pavilions from various countries and regions. Besides pavilions from Mainland China, Japan, Korea, and Poland, ASEAN countries such as Thailand, the Philippines, and Vietnam will also participate, showcasing international culinary excellence.
As a pioneer in the food and beverage (F&B) industry, the Expo has consistently monitored several key trends and innovations to capture the evolving dynamics of the food industry.
Highlighted zone "Food Science and Technology" brings alternative food and future food products to our professional buyers.
The Hong Kong Food Science and Technology Association will lead a group of Hong Kong companies to showcase their food-tech and packaging products and solutions. To capture the opportunities presented by the silver economy, products such as soft meals and supplements will also be featured in the zone.
Recognising the promising landscape of the Halal Market, the Expo introduced a dedicated Halal food and beverage label last year. This year, around 100 exhibitors will feature the label, showcasing a diverse range of Halal-certified products, including snacks, condiments, and seafood.
To better promote the potential of the halal food sector, the events will delve deeper into the halal food landscape in Hong Kong.
The Kowloon Shangri-La Hotel, a 5-star Halal Friendly Hotel by Crescent Rating, will share insights on how it creates an exceptional halal culinary experience for Muslim guests. Additionally, the event will partner with The Incorporated Trustees of the Islamic Community Fund of Hong Kong to present halal certificates to local restaurants.
With the evolving coffee culture and growing demand for coffee worldwide, a new Coffee Zone will be launched at the fair to reinforce Hong Kong’s role as a gateway to the booming Mainland China and ASEAN markets.
Food Expo PRO also features a variety of seminars and forums covering the latest developments and market opportunities in the food industry. The Food Tech Symposium will focus on promoting non-additive foods and establishing a “Clean Label” standard in Hong Kong. The event will also explore the progress of additive-free food development in the Greater Bay Area and invite local food manufacturers to share their practical experiences, aiming to advance the “Clean Label” initiative in Hong Kong.
The concurrent Hong Kong International Tea Fair brings together a diverse range of products, including tea, tea-related items, and tea ware. The International Tea Event Space Design Competition 2025 aims to promote the culture of tea. Participants can present their creative tea-serving space designs through the competition, and the shortlisted designs will be displayed and judged during the fair.
Another fair highlight is the Hong Kong International Tea Competition. Exhibitors’ teas will be judged in six categories: Green Tea, Oolong Tea, Black Tea, Chinese Black Tea, Raw Pu’er, and Others. The entries will also compete for “The Best Aroma Award” and “The Best Taste Award”.
Each day at the fair is filled with a variety of activities and events. The 2nd Hong Kong International Tea Culture Forum and the 1st Tea Culture and Tourism Benchmark City (Enterprise) Brand Ceremony will be held to create an international platform for communication, promote tea culture, and drive the international development of the tea industry.
The National and Greater Bay Area KamCha Competition – (Hong Kong Milk Tea) Hong Kong Final will be held during the Hong Kong International Tea Fair, aiming to select the top Hong Kong-style milk tea masters, showcase the skills and unique flavours of Hong Kong-style milk tea production, and promote Hong Kong-style milk tea culture.
Other events, such as the 1st Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau Youth International Tea Art Competition 2025, Tea Tasting Sessions, and Tea Art Performances, offer an immersive exploration of tea’s rich history and latest trends.
The two fairs will continue to adopt the HKTDC’s EXHIBITION+ model that integrates online and offline elements, extending face-to-face interactions from physical events to the smart business platform, Click2Match.
In addition, the International Conference of the Modernisation of Chinese Medicine and Health Products (ICMCM), organised by the Modernised Chinese Medicine International Association (MCMIA), together with the HKTDC and ten scientific research institutions and industry associations, will be held at the Hong Kong Exhibition and Convention Centre.
Organised by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC), the Food Expo PRO and the Hong Kong International Tea Fair will be staged concurrently from the 14th to the 16th of August 2025, at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre.
