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.[1] As a result, the KITEC ended its operations at 17:00 on 30 June 2024.[2]
