The Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) has released a comprehensive analysis of the burgeoning foodtech ecosystem in Hong Kong, showcasing the city's innovative approach to food security and sustainability. The report, titled "The Hong Kong FoodTech Ecosystem," highlights several key players in the industry, one of which is IXON.

Key highlights include:

1. Hong Kong's FoodTech startup scene is booming, with numbers surging from 40 in 2022 to 106 in 2023.

2. Universities and research institutions play a crucial role in pioneering concepts and R&D initiatives in the foodtech sector.

3. IXON's groundbreaking ASAP (advanced sous-vide aseptic packaging) technology is featured as a prime example of innovation in food preservation.

4. The report underscores the importance of venture capital in nurturing foodtech startups and driving innovation.

5. Hong Kong's government has released a Blueprint for Sustainable Development of Agriculture and Fisheries, aiming to quadruple fish and vegetable production within 15 years.

IXON's advanced sous-vide aseptic packaging (ASAP) technology, which combines high-temperature short-time sterilization, low-temperature sous-vide cooking, and aseptic packaging, allows food to be stored at room temperature for up to two years without losing nutritional value or requiring preservatives. This innovation not only enhances food preservation but also significantly reduces energy costs and carbon emissions associated with refrigerated storage and transport.

The HKTDC report emphasizes the potential for Hong Kong's foodtech innovations to address local challenges and scale globally, positioning the city as a key player in the future of food security and sustainability.

香港貿易發展局（貿發局）最近發表了一份全面分析報告，展示了香港在食品安全和可持續發展方面的創新方案。這份名為「香港食品科技生態系統」的報告重點介紹了業內幾家主要公司，其中包括IXON。

報告的主要重點包括：

1. 香港的食品科技初創企業發展蓬勃，數量由2022年的40間急增至2023年的106間。

2. 大學和研究機構在食品科技領域的概念開發和研發工作中擔當重要角色。

3. IXON的突破性ASAP技術（先進真空低溫慢煮無菌包裝技術）被列為食品保鮮創新的典型例子。

4. 報告強調了風險投資對培育食品科技初創企業和推動創新的重要性。

5. 香港政府推出了《農業及漁業可持續發展藍圖》，目標是在15年內將魚類和蔬菜產量提高四倍。

IXON的ASAP技術結合了高溫短時間殺菌、低溫真空慢煮和無菌包裝，能使食物在室溫下保存長達兩年，既不會失去營養價值，亦無需添加防腐劑。這項創新技術不僅改善了食品保鮮，還大幅減少了冷藏儲存和運輸所需的能源成本及碳排放。

貿發局的報告強調，香港食品科技創新不僅有潛力應對本地挑戰，還可擴展至全球市場，使香港在未來的食品安全和可持續發展方面佔據重要地位。如欲了解更多有關香港蓬勃發展的食品科技生態系統和IXON革命性技術的詳情，可參閱貿發局的完整報告。
