This year is pivotal for Hong Kong's sports development. At the 15th National Games, the Hong Kong team sent its largest-ever delegation of 602 athletes participating in 28 events, achieving outstanding results with 9 golds, 2 silvers, and 8 bronzes. To sustain this momentum, the Hong Kong Judo Team immediately transitioned to the "Asian Judo Open Hong Kong 2025," which is being held concurrently at the Expo starting today. This tournament has attracted 161 athletes from 18 teams, including Australia, Mongolia, and South Korea, competing in 14 categories. The Hong Kong team has dispatched 30 elite athletes to compete on home turf, aiming for strong finishes to close the season and pave the way for next year's Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games.

Mr. Carl Wong, Chairman of the Exhibition Group, stated: "We hope the Expo and the Sportival Asia will serve as a community platform to extend the spirit of the Hong Kong team's success at the National Games. We want that spirit to move beyond the podium and truly enter communities, schools, and every household, further promoting the popularization of sports and industry development. This year, we are also hosting the international-level 'Asian Judo Open Hong Kong 2025,' attracting 18 overseas teams, which further elevates Hong Kong's international sporting image. Additionally, with the continued development of the 'Silver Economy,' the demand for sports among seniors is rising. Innovative gerontech products are emerging as a key growth point for the future."

The "Sportival Asia" is being held in a pilot mode this year, making the HKCEC the first venue for such a large-scale comprehensive indoor sports competition. Its debut has received enthusiastic support from over 20 sports organizations. At the launch ceremony, the official establishment of the "Sportival Asia" Organizing Committee was announced. Mr. Eric Cheung, CEO of the Executive Committee, remarked: "The Sportival Asia will further drive sports development, promoting the integration of the local sports industry with education, technology, and mass participation. We aim to gradually form a true ecosystem and realize the vision of 'Sports for All.' The festival will be held annually, featuring various on-site trials, competitions, and demonstrations, providing diverse experiences for citizens and building an indoor sports platform based in Hong Kong, connected to the Greater Bay Area, and facing Asia."

The inaugural Sportival Asia features numerous on-site sport experience, including fencing, cycling, balance bikes, penny-farthings, table tennis, pickleball, and darts. Simultaneously, over 50 competitions and demonstrations will be held, such as the Greater Bay Korfball Championship 2025, Asian Fencing Club League Grand Final 2025, Asian Judo Open Hong Kong 2025, HKTTF Exhibition Cup Table Tennis Competition, Soft Tip Darts Competition, HKFEW 15th Teachers' Sports Festival Darts Competition, the Jockey Club "Jump Rope Together!" Rope Skipping Scheme (with over 60 participating schools), the EF Hong Kong Youth Shoot Boxing Competition, and Hong Kong Boxing Championship belt matches. These events allow the public to experience the charm of different sports firsthand, further promoting the concept of 'Sports for All'.

In recent years, golf in Hong Kong has developed rapidly, with an increasingly complete supply chain from international tournaments to the National Games. The "1st HK Golf Show" makes its debut at the HKCEC this year, gathering numerous international and local golf brands. It showcases golf balls, bags, apparel, accessories, and training equipment, while also covering services related to golf platforms, tourism, finance, and insurance. A special putting challenge zone allows visitors to try the sport, with prizes for successful challenges. A golf fashion show will also be held, bringing high-end golf apparel to the runway.

In response to the government's "Silver Economy" policy, the organizers designated the opening day, November 21, as "Silver Friday." A series of sports competitions and interactive experiences tailored for the elderly were held, including the "Senior Darts Invitational," "Senior Boxing & Combat Sports Demonstration," and the "HKCEC Table Tennis Senior Cup." A new "Active Ageing Zone" allows seniors to experience the latest VR sports equipment, enjoying the fun of exercise through technology to improve physical and mental health.

To honor the selfless dedication of physical education teachers in nurturing Hong Kong's future sports elites, the "Hong Kong Physical Education Teacher Awards 2025," organized by Exhibition Group and co-organized by Ming Pao, is being held during the Expo. The event aims to recognize teachers who actively promote physical education, affirming their professionalism and emphasizing their vital role in passing on positive sports energy and discovering talent.

Exhibition Group previously announced the launch of the new "Point2Purchase Consumption Vouchers," which was successfully piloted at the "Holiday & Travel Expo 2025 Autumn" and "In-Home Expo 2025 Autumn" in September. The Group continues to partner with The Club (under HKT) to implement this scheme at the current Expo. Over 4 million The Club members can convert accumulated points into exhibition-exclusive consumption vouchers via the app, redeem physical vouchers at a designated counter at the venue, and use them immediately at participating booths. This initiative further promotes "local consumption," creating a win-win situation for exhibitors and consumers.

"Hong Kong Outdoor and Sport Expo 2025 cum Sportival Asia" Officially Opens

At Anker Day 2026, Anker Innovations marks its 15th anniversary by unveiling THUS™ - ANKER's first neural-net Compute-in-Memory AI audio chip - and a new generation of products across soundcore and eufy.

NEW YORK and Bellevue, Wash., May 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Anker Innovations is hosting Anker Day 2026: Where Ultimate Meets Possible, its annual brand event to showcase the newest product launches and technology break-throughs across its portfolio. Where Ultimate Meets Possible will bring together media, retail buyers and key influencers for an exclusive look at what's next in consumer electronics, spanning premium audio, home energy and the smart home appliances.

Where Ultimate Meets Possible will be held at STORIED in New York City, an invite-only experience featuring keynote presentations, hands-on product demonstrations and a deep dive into the company's latest innovations.

Anker Day 2026 debuted innovations across three brands: soundcore's Liberty 5 Pro and Pro Max — the first earbuds powered by Anker's new THUS™ AI chip — alongside VibeOS AI platform and Nebula SpaceFlow; Anker SOLIX's S2000, the world's longest-lasting 2kWh home backup power station; and eufy's EdgeAgent™, a local AI home security agent, plus new baby care products.

Started With Power

Anker was founded in 2011 and released its first product in the following year: a 4,500mAh ultra-slim power bank. It was a modest beginning, but behind it was an engineering conviction that would shape everything that followed. If technology is going to make a meaningful difference in people's lives, it has to be built to the highest possible standard.

2012 - The Beginning
Anker's first product: a 4,500mAh ultra-slim power bank - the start of a commitment to putting well-engineered, reliable power in people's hands.

2013 - PowerIQ™
Introduced PowerIQ™, enabling fast-charging compatibility across both iOS and Android - setting the standard for universal charging intelligence.

2018 - GaN from Aerospace
An early adopter of Gallium Nitride (GaN) from aerospace applications for consumer charging - delivering a 40% size reduction without sacrificing output.

2019 - World's Smallest 18W Charger
Delivered the world's smallest 18W charger at the time - proving that ultimate performance and ultra-compact form are not a trade-off.

2022 - GaNPrime™
Pioneered high-power multi-port chargers with dynamic power distribution - intelligently allocating power across multiple devices simultaneously.

2023 - 240W Wall Charger
Delivered the industry's highest-power 240W wall charger at the time - meeting the demands of the most power-hungry professional setups.

2024 - InstaCord™ & UltraDura™
In 2024, InstaCord™ became Anker's most advanced retractable‑cable technology and UltraDura™ achieved industry‑leading durability.

2025 - GaNPrime™ 2.0 • PowerIQ™ 5.0 • AnkerSense™ View • TurboBoost™
GaNPrime™ 2.0 (most advanced fast charging), PowerIQ™ 5.0 (smartest compatibility), AnkerSense™ View (intelligent display technology), and TurboBoost™ for ultra-fast power bank recharging. The pursuit never stops.

Fifteen years. Eight technology generations. Every breakthrough driven by one and only promise: seeking the ultimate innovation, not as an end in itself, but because technology built to its highest standard is how we put the possibilities people want in their lives within reach. Technology in service of people. That is what this pursuit has always meant.

Today's Milestone: Anker Thus™

For 80 years, chip design has followed the same logic established by John von Neumann in 1945: separate the processor from memory, and shuttle data between them one instruction at a time. For eight decades across mainframes, desktops, and data centers, this model worked. AI breaks that assumption. A neural network draws on millions of learned parameters all at once - and in a wearable device, moving that data between memory and processor consumes more than 90 percent of chip power, leaving almost nothing for actual computation.

THUS™ applies a different principle: embed computation directly inside NOR Flash memory cells, where the model already lives. The model parameters never have to move. The energy previously consumed by data movement is redirected entirely to computation.

The first THUS™ AI chip debuts in earbuds, delivering up to 150 times more AI computing power on the environmental noise cancellation task than Anker's previous-generation flagship earphones.

Clear Calls - the chip's first disclosed feature - runs a large neural network entirely on-device, anchored by eight MEMS microphones and two bone conduction sensors, for a significantly clear call in any environment. Additional AI-powered features including Signature Sound and Voice Control debuted at Anker Day.

"Every AI chip built until now stores the model on one side and does the computation on the other. To think, the device has to carry all those parameters across, many times per second, every single inference. THUS™ puts the computation where the model already lives. The model never has to move again."

- Steven Yang, Founder and CEO, Anker Innovations

THUS™ takes inspiration from "Thus have I heard", a Buddhist phrase that reflects direct transmission - knowledge conveyed as it was experienced, without distortion.

All performance figures are based on internal Anker lab tests. The 150× AI computing power figure applies specifically to the environmental noise cancellation task and reflects the architectural change from rule-based to neural-net AI processing. It is not a general performance claim and does not reflect a process node upgrade. The environmental noise cancellation workload referenced here runs as an on-device neural network model on the first THUS™ chip.

Anker soundcore Liberty 5 Pro: The First Product Powered by Anker Thus™

The soundcore Liberty 5 Pro and Liberty 5 Pro Max are the first two products to ship with the THUS™ chip. Their positioning is organized around three on-device intelligence layers the chip enables - understanding, adapting, and tuning - each representing a function earbuds could not credibly perform before neural-net AI became viable at this scale. Coming to the market soon.

15 Years, One Promise

From our first power bank to a proprietary AI chip in 2026 - the categories we build in keep expanding, and so does the scope of what technology can do for people's lives. Our promise has been one and only, seeking the ultimate innovation, with the conviction that technology built to its highest standard makes the possibilities people want in their lives the ones they can actually live. Fifteen years is long enough to know that trust is earned slowly. Fifteen years in. The pursuit continues.
