Lifestyle Expo to open in Dubai on Sept.25

The fifth Lifestyle Expo will be held on September 25-26 at the Hyatt Regency Dubai, connecting Hong Kong and Chinese suppliers with buyers from the Middle East and Africa to fill the region's growing demand for trendy consumer products.
The expo will showcase a wide range of items from about 110 Hong Kong and mainland exhibitors including consumer electronics and ICT products, household items and electrical appliances, fashion accessories, gifts and premiums as well as watches and clocks.
 About 1,300 importers, distributors, mass retailers, mail-order houses, department stores and specialty stores from the UAE, Iran and Africa are expected to attend the event.
Lifestyle Expo in Dubai will also feature business-matching and networking events as well as seminars.
"Hong Kong and the UAE are both hubs for key markets - Asia, and the Middle East and Africa region, respectively," said Perry Fung, HKTDC Regional Director for Middle East and Africa.
"Lifestyle Expo provides the perfect setting for realising the hub-to-hub synergy and potential business opportunities that exist between the UAE and Hong Kong," he added.
The third Hub-to-Hub Business Meeting will be held during the Expo to connect exhibitors from Hong Kong and the mainland with Middle East and African buyers for business collaboration.
Buyers from the Middle East and African can take advantage of customised one-to-one business-matching services available at the Expo to connect with exhibitors from Hong Kong and the mainland.
The UAE is Hong Kong's largest export market in the Middle East, and trade between the twoeconomiespresentsan excellent opportunity to build new B2B (business-to-business) links along the Belt and Road.
Hong Kong's exports to the UAE grew 13 per cent to $6.8 billion last year.
