Buyer registration
There’s a free e-badge for registered trade buyers; HKTDC fairs are trade-only and free to qualified buyers who register online in advance. Under-18s are generally not admitted.
Click2Match and Scan2Match
The HKTDC Marketplace App includes Scan2Match, which lets you scan exhibitor QR codes, bookmark booths, view floor plans and follow up after the fair. Click2Match is HKTDC’s online matchmaking platform before, during and after the event. These are among the better tools at any Asian fair. They’re still built for buyers finding exhibitors, though. If you’re an exhibitor or service provider who wants to reach the buyers, you need data that the platforms don’t expose.
Pros and cons
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Free for buyers | Many small suppliers, varying quality |
| Excellent digital matchmaking | Overlaps with Global Sources and the Canton Fair |
| International, English-friendly environment | Expensive Hong Kong hotels in October |
| Combine with Global Sources shows | Mostly consumer products |
| Easy to reach | Smaller than mainland mega-fairs |

Walk into HKTDC Electronics Fair with a target list
Event apps are built for browsing, not for sales teams. They cap connections, hide data behind logins and rarely let you export anything. I pull attendee, exhibitor and speaker data from the app and the event website, enrich every profile and hand you a clean file before the doors open, so your reps can book meetings in advance and follow up properly afterwards.
