There will also be exhibitors of international motor brands as well as auto products and services.

According to Carmen Au Yeung, Co-founder of IMSML, “We are excited to bring back our highly anticipated automotive event, which will once again offer visitors a diverse range of activities and exhibits to enjoy. With the ‘Mobility +’ theme, we aim to build an auto-themed event which is unlike any other car shows in the region. We focus on presenting the very unique car culture of the city, which has been heavily influenced by Japanese and Western car history and trends.”

She also extended her warmest welcome to CAAM and CCI as this year’s Co-organisers this year. IMXpo 2023 marks the first-ever motor show outside Mainland China to involve CAAM as a co-organiser. Fu Bingfeng, Executive Vice President and Secretary-General of CAAM, stated, “With its extensive overseas network and well-established financial system, Hong Kong plays a key role in promoting trade and financing of electric vehicles of the Mainland. As a platform with unique value for technology display, brand promotion and business exchanges, IMXpo will help position Hong Kong as a bridgehead for car manufacturers of Mainland China to open up the Southeast Asian, Belt and Road and European markets. We believe that Hong Kong can contribute to bringing Chinese electric vehicles to the world.”

As part of IMXpo this year, an international forum on “Exports and Investment Hotspots of New Energy Vehicles” will be held, exploring the strategic functions and positioning of Hong Kong in supporting Chinese new energy vehicles “going global”. The forum will be attended by senior Government officials, influential industry players, scholars and business leaders.

Jiang Zenghe, President of CCI, expressed his high expectation for the three-party-partnership, stating that Hong Kong’s status as an international financial centre would be further strengthened through this new role. “Overseas buyers and potential business partners could come to Hong Kong to witness the development of Chinese electric vehicles. Hong Kong should also take pride in the progress of vehicle electrification in Mainland China and explore any possible cooperation opportunities,” he added.
