The event officially opened on October 26 at AsiaWorld-Expo in Hong Kong under the theme Connecting the World for a Sustainable Future, co-organized by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC), Messe Frankfurt (HK), and the Environment and Ecology Bureau of the Hong Kong SAR Government.

The inclusion of ASEAN pavilions and the concurrent Belt and Road Green Innovation Conference underline Hong Kong's strategic role as a super-connector, bridging mainland China's environmental policies with global markets through professional services and green finance.
The exhibition's growth has pushed the number of pavilions to 18, highlighted by the debut of the ASEAN Pavilion which consolidates Singapore, Laos, Malaysia, the Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand, and Vietnam. Twelve green technology enterprises from these nations are showcasing solutions spanning water treatment, circular economy, green finance, and ESG standards, alongside returning pavilions from Canada, Italy, South Korea, the Netherlands, and various Chinese provinces.
Local participants from Hong Kong include representatives from the Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation and various startups presenting energy solutions. The Hong Kong government booth has also launched a comprehensive green technology experience zone divided into four distinct themes to promote low-carbon living and business matching.
"The expo serves as a premier regional green trade platform gathering technologies, products, and solutions worldwide."
