Key Exhibitions and Initiatives by HKCSS at the EldExpo include:

  • Gerontech and Innovation Expo cum Summit (GIES): Jointly organized with the Hong Kong SAR Government, this pivotal event is the largest of its kind in Hong Kong, aimed at educating the public on the benefits of gerontechnology. It also provides a platform drawing together stakeholders to engage in dialogue and collaboration for broader adoption of gerontech to address the challenges brought about by population ageing and disability. Scheduled from November 21 to 24, the GIES 2024 is set to host approximately 200 exhibitors and display close to 800 products from Hong Kong, Mainland China and around the globe, providing a comprehensive platform for technological exchange and innovation.
  • Jockey Club "age at home" Gerontech Education and Rental Service: Funded by The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust and organised by HKCSS, this programme offers a holistic service that includes education, rental, cleaning and maintenance of gerontechnology equipment, aiming to facilitate "Smart Ageing in Place" and community caregiving. It is designed to increasing public awareness and understanding on gerontechnology and its applications, thereby enhancing the quality of life of the elderly, disabled and their caregivers. The initiative also features Hong Kong's largest Gerontech Cleaning and Maintenance Service Centre, a centralized hardware care centre for gerontech equipment, introducing a variety of cleaning facilities and machines to ensure optimal hygiene and safety of gerontech equipment and generate good user experience. The Centre, further supported by the China Merchants Foundation (CMF), together with the CMF eRent – Gerontech Rental System and Website, the first-of-its-kind in Hong Kong, are committed to promoting the gerontech rental service and culture of the sharing.
  • Care Food: HKCSS is dedicated to improving the nutritional care of individuals with swallowing difficulties. Through the establishment of the Guideline of Care Food Standard, the initiative aims to enhance the dignity and safety of affected individuals across the community. Besides, HKCSS strives to foster industry collaboration through organising seminars and workshops relating to Care Food and promote Care Food to the community by participating in related expos and public education activities.
  • Gerontechnology Platform: The Social Innovation and Entrepreneurship Development Fund (SIE Fund) has appointed a collaborative coalition of ten organisations led by HKCSS as an intermediary to design, develop and operate an inclusive one-stop Gerontechnology Platform. This Platform is designed to link up different stakeholders on the supply and demand sides and enhance synergy by way of engagement, with the aim of fostering the development and application of gerontechnology. It establishes a Gerontechnology Testing Ground, which completed the testing of 10 theme-based gerontechnology products in residential care homes, facilitating product testing and feedback integration, and ensuring that technological solutions are both effective and user-centric.

HKCSS organised local innovation and technology enterprises staged at "Hong Kong Zone":

The Hong Kong delegation also includes nine local enterprises debuting their innovative gerontechnology products, covering health monitoring systems, computer vision-assisted rehabilitation tools, neurological rehabilitation aids, innovative gaming platform, brain-computer interface, virtual reality-based sports training, and cognitive rehabilitation training.
