HKTDC kicked off it’s 2020 trade fairs with the Hong Kong Toys & Games Fair, held concurrently with the Hong Kong Baby Products Fair and Hong Kong International Stationery Fair. Over 2,950 global exhibitors showcased a broad selection of smart toys, quality products and creative stationery. Various thematic zones depict the latest trends, including those of environmental friendly toys.

The Big 12 commissioner has been complaining about conferences not playing 9 conference games like his conference. It must mean he feels it creates a better profile of comparison and a playing field that is more level? If that is the case then the talent and coaching should be closer to level as well. This for the hell of it audio is a look at how I see the SEC realigning to help make that level playing field of schedules a little closer between the SEC and the Big 12

Presenting STREAM Toys, smart products and unique stationery, the HKTDC Hong Kong Toys & Games Fair, the HKTDC Hong Kong Baby Products Fair and the Hong Kong International Stationery Fair were held from 7-10 January 2019 at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre. The fairs featured close to 3,000 global exhibitors, showcasing an assortment of new products, with those incorporating smart technologies in high demand.

Special T-shirts incorporating Augmented Reality technologies were among the many STEAM toys exhibited at the HKTDC Hong Kong Toys & Games Fair 2018. Myra Subagyo, Account Manager of PT Octagon Studio Indonesia, explains how this interactive technology is appealing to children, and why the Hong Kong fair serves as a good platform to meet potential clients, as well as showcase products to buyers from around the world.

The HKTDC Hong Kong Toys & Games Fair welcomed some 2,100 exhibitors from around the world offering a broad selection of the latest innovative playthings. Among 45 countries and regions represented were newcomers Estonia, Russia, South Africa and Vietnam taking part in Asia’s largest and the world’s second biggest fair of its kind. Art is being added into the mix of “STEAM” toys creating science, technology, engineering, arts and math (STREAM) experiences.

The HKTDC Hong Kong Toys and Games Fair 2017 is the biggest event of its kind in Asia and second biggest in the world, providing participants an opportunity to see the latest products and trends, such as the Next Big Wave in STEM toys. STEM Toys involve science, technology, engineering or math and provide education as well as entertainment. More than 2,100 exhibitors from 42 countries and regions display their latest innovative, cutting-edge new products.

Hong Kong is the ideal launching pad for German companies to enter Asia, says Nuremberg Toy Fair organiser, Spielwarenmesse. The company has been using the Hong Kong platform to help its clients expand to new markets, via the HKTDC Hong Kong Toys & Games Fair.

Innovation and technology play a central role at the HKTDC Hong Kong Toys and Games Fair 2016, and Hong Kong firms report good feedback for home-grown design from international buyers. That applies to the Batman game and toy offered by Hong Kong’s Soap Studio ahead of an upcoming international movie release. A new tech product by Hong Kong’s AndesFit to weigh babies accurately has also been well received at the co-convened HKTDC Hong Kong Baby Products Fair.

This is augmented-reality 3D graphics in action. The technology is able to recognize a toy by using an app from iTunes. The toy's 2D image is captured on screen and turned into a 3D cartoon graphic on your tablet. So far this technology has been trialed by turning toy figures into 3D cartoon graphics as part of a storybook format. This value-added tech toy combines traditional design with virtual technology to transport children from their real world to a virtual world. The CEO of APPS1010, Wilson Chiu, says all too often modern technology cuts off children from their parents: "We can see today, all the kid, wouldn't like to hand out the device. They don't want to give up. They are playing the game, the online game, or some electronic books but I can't see any interactive with the parents. So I want to create some object, which is a 3D object, together with the device, which can let the parents to share their time and their knowledge with the kid and interact together, to play together instead of alone." Being a toy fair there isn't a short supply of furry animals here. These look like most normal cuddly toys but beneath that cute exterior is built-in voice technology which enables the toys to connect with an iPad. In order to listen to your toy talking, you need to download an app. You can also play various games and the better you do the more you'll be cheered by your toy. The voice technology is synchronized with the wave sounds generated from the game app. This giant pink bunny contains a digital face which interacts with the user. The founder of Roam Wander, Jason Warren, says this iPad-powered bunny is designed to inspire kids' creativity by bringing digital apps and physical toys together: "So, this is TuTu. In order to do a good job taking care of her, you need to give her love and you can give her love by using this magic ring. So if you use the magic ring, then you can make her happy." Instead of owning a real pet, you can now keep a virtual pet rabbit at home with mini toys to keep the rabbit happy, and you get to learn vocabularies too. Warren says, with its easing of the one-child policy, is a market set to boom: "There're a lot of kids whose home in China whose parents already have iPhones, Android devices, iPads, tablets, things like that and a lot of those kids are totally digital. Kids love to play games and they are using apps all the time. Then so by sort of loosening up their policy (the Chinese government announced easing the one-child policy officially), I think that one. It will grow the number of kids that are there; and we are targeting very young children between two, four and six years-old. So the impact our business in short term of losing that policy could be really positive." But it's not all smart-technology-traditional toys such as model cars, doll houses and wooden toys remain classics. Globally, the standard of living has risen sharply in the past 10 years, so many parents are looking for higher quality toys for their offspring.
