Event Highlight | Gerontech and Innovation Expo cum Summit 2023 (23-26 November, 2023)
The 7th Gerontech and Innovation Expo cum Summit (GIES) was successfully held at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre on 23-26 November 2023. GIES is the largest gerontechnology public education event in Hong Kong, which is jointly hosted by the HKSAR Government and the Hong Kong Council of Social Service, and co-organised with the Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation.
This year, GIES featured four themed pavilions focusing on “Smart & Healthy Ageing”, “Tele-practice Platform”, “Gerontechnology Platform – Testing Ground” and “Care Food Pavilion”, as well as showcased nearly 800 products and solutions from over 200 local and overseas exhibitors. The expo attracted some 37,000 visitors over four days.
Our CUHK booth showcased a wide-range of inventions and projects, including health monitoring, rehabilitation equipment, mobility assistance devices and public space co-creation, to facilitate different aspects of life and address the challenges of population ageing in the digital era.
