Global Sources Hong Kong Shows for 2024 are set to collaborate with suppliers to promote sustainable growth. The leading online-to-offline (O2O) sourcing event offers buyers a vast array of products and a convenient one-stop sourcing experience.
With approximately 150,000 products on display, Global Sources aims to connect top-tier suppliers with buyers globally. The CEO, Hu Wei, emphasizes the importance of introducing new and innovative products that integrate online and offline platforms seamlessly. This approach allows buyers to explore fresh ideas and connect with manufacturers to bring these concepts to life, navigating the competitive market effectively.
The shows attract a diverse range of buyers, with European and American buyers leading the pack alongside an increase in visitors from emerging markets like Latin America and India. The focus on Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) practices is evident throughout the event, with sustainability integrated into various aspects of the shows.
Wendy Lai, Vice President of Global Sources Exhibitions, highlights the commitment to sustainability by optimizing the show process, cutting carbon emissions, and enhancing digital services. One notable addition is the ‘Show Genie’ feature on the Global Sources mobile app, offering interactive maps and e-badges for an improved sourcing experience.
In addition to environmental sustainability, Global Sources aims to forge sustainable business partnerships with exhibitors. By helping buyers maintain their businesses post-show through online stores and direct contact with suppliers, the aim is to create long-lasting relationships that benefit all parties involved.
Looking towards future developments, the company plans to launch a Sports & Outdoor show to cater to the sourcing needs of these industries. John Kao, Vice President of Hong Kong and Overseas Shows, emphasizes the focus on AI products and personalized items in the sports, pets, leisure, and outdoor sectors.
The commitment to sustainability and the drive for innovation make the 2024 Global Sources Hong Kong Shows a must-visit event for buyers looking for cutting-edge products and sustainable business practices in today’s competitive market.
