Kowloonbay International Trade & Exhibition Centre

The Kowloonbay International Trade & Exhibition Centre (KITEC, formerly known as the Hong Kong International Trade and Exhibition Centre or HITEC), is an exhibition centre, shopping mall and performance venue situated at 1 Trademart Drive, Kowloon Bay, Kowloon, Hong Kong. It was developed by Hopewell Holdings Ltd.

In 2021, a consortium led by Billion Development bought the venue for $1.4 billion US dollars to redevelop it into three grade-A office buildings. As a result, the KITEC is set to be demolished in June 2024.
