Close to 120 buying missions representing more than 6,000 companies are scheduled to attend the fairs.

The three events will open on 9 January 2017, and continue through 12 January at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (HKCEC). A press conference will be held on 3 January (Tuesday) to announce details of the fairs and offer a first-hand look at some of the highlighted products from manufacturers worldwide, including:
