Eco Expo Asia, also billed as the “International Trade Fair on Environmental Protection,” is receiving strong support, according to event organizer Messe Frankfurt (HK) Ltd. Messe Frankfurt is working along with the Hong Kong Trade Development Council and the Environment Bureau of the Government of Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) to co-host the 2014 version of the event.
