The Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (HKCEC) is increasing its focus on hosting medical, technology, finance, and education events, which will comprise 43% of its activities this year, a 10% increase year-on-year. This strategic shift aligns with Hong Kong's ambition to strengthen its position as a global hub for innovation, finance, and talent exchange. The HKCEC will host events like the LEAP East technology exhibition and major medical conferences, including the World Cancer Congress 2026 and the 15th China Chest Pain Centre Congress in April. The latter is expected to draw over 3,000 healthcare professionals from mainland China and Belt and Road countries. This initiative aims to attract events tied to emerging sectors and stay ahead of global economic development trends.
