Advancing the stationery industry: technology and new design trends Technology is transforming the stationery industry by optimising manufacturing processes, reducing waste, and enhancing product quality. To share insights into this new industry evolution, the fringe event Empowering Stationery’s Future: Unlocking Innovation Through AI & Digital Co-creation will provide fairgoers with the opportunity to exchange ideas and learn about AI’s impact on the industry.
Ms Maggie Wong, Property Negotiator at Prime Cities Realty (Malaysia), who attended the seminar at last year’s edition, shared: “I attended the seminar to understand more about how AI works together with products and their marketing. As technology advances, I am very interested in its impact on the stationery industry. The seminar elaborated on the trend towards personalisation of stationery, and I would like to leverage this for gifting clients in my role as a real estate agent.”
Jointly organised by Messe Frankfurt (HK) Ltd and the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC), the fair will be held concurrently with the HKTDC Hong Kong Toys & Games Fair and the Hong Kong Baby Products Fair, providing a one-stop sourcing platform and crossover business opportunities for participants.
