InnoEX focuses on five key technology areas: low-altitude economy, AI, robotics, cybersecurity, and smart mobility. This year, 17 delegations from 16 provinces and cities on the Chinese mainland are participating in the event.

Dora Pu, Deputy Director of the Department of Hong Kong, Macau & Taiwan Affairs at the Chongqing Municipal Commission of Commerce, shared, "This is our second time organizing companies to participate in the Hong Kong InnoEX. We've selected four companies to showcase products in new energy equipment, power inverters, smart cleaning robots, and liquid-cooled cabinets. Chongqing is accelerating its development as a national advanced manufacturing center while expanding our '33618' modern manufacturing cluster system. We hope to use this platform to showcase our technological advancements and potential to both Asian and global markets."

At the event, Chongqing's tech companies drew significant attention from overseas buyers, creating a buzz across the exhibition halls. Visitors from around the world eagerly inquired about the innovative products, with many discussing potential collaborations and partnerships. Chongqing exhibitors were kept busy showcasing their latest technologies.

Zhao Zijian, Co-founder and Chief Technology Officer of Chongqing DIMA Robotics Co Ltd, spoke about their product, the SW55 A, used for commercial industry cleaning. "Our robots are already sold in many overseas markets, including Europe, parts of Asia, the US, and Australia," he said.
