Green Mobility Innovations Limited displayed their electric van and new electric bike at the fair. Mr Lawrence Ho, General Manager, was very happy. “We have done very well participating in Eco Expo Asia. This has been an exceptional platform not only to promote our unique electric vehicles and business model locally and internationally, but also to advocate our green concept to society at large. Through the synergy effect with the C40 Hong Kong Workshop, we managed to meet many government officials and mayors from China and other countries. I have already lined up meetings with potential local and overseas cooperation partners. I will definitely come back with bigger presence next year.”
Ms Angel K Y Cheung, Assistant General Manger, DAS Aviation Services Group, the official Hong Kong dealer of Green Wheel, was equally satisfied with trade achieved at the fair. “Business has been good. Interest in the Green Wheel electric vehicle was beyond our expectations. We have got a lot of serious leads to follow up once the fair is over.”
Professional fringe events made the fair a leading arena for technology exchange in eco industry
Visitors from near and afar were pleased to see a wide range of green products and services on display.
Returning to the fair for new eco products and eco applications the third consecutive year was 100% Concept Asia-Pacific Ltd, the Asian arm of French- based 100% Souvenirs and founder of Eco-Sys Action Foundation. Mr Christian Pilard, Managing Director said, “With more exhibitors presenting a wider range of products, you can really see how the fair is developing each year. I’ve only been here a short while and already I have spotted some interesting suppliers of toys and packaging materials. I’m confident I can get what I need from this event.”
Ms Anita Jha, Senior Vice President of Indian non-government aid agency, Sulabh International Social Service Organisation, came to the fair for sanitation and water purification solutions. “Everything is well sign-posted and set out logically, I like the format of the show very much. I have found a possible supplier from the US for technology to purify water and from Hong Kong for waste management options quite easily, and will be following up with them on my return to India.”
Mr Ben Chan, General Manager of Hong Kong company, Yuen Fat International Limited said: “We want to start a new eco business. So we are here to see what opportunities are available relating to LED and roofing products. It is a good show. I have found what I want and have identified several potential partners.”

environmental solutions that are cost-effective and energy efficient. “This is a great show. We always find what we need here and this year proved no different. We’ve found a US firm that produces plasma lights which are 50% more energy efficient and four times longer lasting than anything else currently available. We will definitely be working closer with them in the future,” said Mr Ting.
Fringe events contributed to the overall success of the show
The Eco Asia Conference 2010 was the largest and most comprehensive to date. It included the Eco-UK Seminar, the Eco-US Seminar, the Nordic Panel Discussion and the Sino-French Seminar on Sustainable Development and sessions on Green Transportation and Waste Management & Recycling. Other fringe events held together with the fair and conference included the Round Table Meeting between Mainland Authorities and Corporations on Eco Projects, the Green Building Conference, “Low Carbon Activities in Hong Kong” Seminar and the Public Day Forum on Low Carbon Living.
“The exhibition was very inspiring with many exciting exhibits on show. There were also many excellent environmental seminars, conferences and business lunches to attend, which all contributed to the success of this very prestigious international trade fair on environmental protection,” said Dr Aileen Patricia Lothian, Director, Young SET Ambassadors, who took part in the show under the UK Pavilion.
