ClearVue Hong Kong office and showroom officially opened
ClearVue Technologies (ASX: CPV | OTCQX: CVUEF) has celebrated the official opening of its Hong Kong regional office and technology showroom. The company brought together representatives from government, industry and regional business partners.
The opening ceremony was held on Wednesday 4 November, followed by a stakeholder reception on Friday 6 November. The events were an opportunity to showcase ClearVue’s energy-generating building technologies to developers, architects, engineers, building owners and government representatives in Hong Kong.
Four speakers addressed the programme:
- Arnold Lau, Associate Director-General of Investment Promotion at InvestHK
- Zhao Yan, Chairman of LandVac
- Professor Hou Yu, Beijing Institute of Architectural Design (BIAD)
- Doug Hunt, Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director at ClearVue
The Hong Kong office will support ClearVue’s ongoing engagement across Hong Kong, Macau and surrounding markets. That includes its collaboration with LandVac and its developing regional project pipeline.
Doug Hunt, Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director, ClearVue
“Seeing our technologies incorporated into a working showroom brings to life what ClearVue is working to achieve… We are particularly grateful for the support of InvestHK, LandVac and our regional partners as we continue building our presence in this important market.”

Showroom puts Vision Glass, Cladding and Balustrade on display
The showroom was designed by ClearVue’s Miguel Moya. It features the company’s integrated photovoltaic building products, including Vision Glass, Cladding and Balustrade solutions.
According to the company, the showroom provides a practical demonstration of how conventional building surfaces can contribute to renewable energy generation while maintaining architectural design intent.
The facility will serve as a regional meeting and demonstration centre for prospective customers, industry partners and government stakeholders. Shareholders, prospective customers and industry partners are welcome to arrange a visit.
Government and partner voices back the technology
InvestHK points to local proof
Arnold Lau used his speech to describe what ClearVue’s glass does in a city of high-rises.

“What ClearVue has done is nothing short of remarkable, it has turned that glass into a power plant.”
Lau said the Government’s Electrical and Mechanical Services Department (EMSD) conducted a trial of ClearVue’s solar façade at its own headquarters. In his words, the results showed payback in about three years when feed-in tariffs are applied.
He said InvestHK has supported ClearVue since about three years ago. That support included introducing the company to investors and developers in Hung Shui Kiu within Northern Metropolis. Lau also said a pipeline of regional project opportunities is already in progress.
LandVac and the VIG-based BIPV trial results
Zhao Yan said the vacuum insulating glass (VIG) based building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) products developed jointly by LandVac and ClearVue completed 12 months of on-site measurement and verification at EMSD headquarters. Under Hong Kong’s climatic conditions, he said, the use of LandVac titanium VIG can reduce:
- A building’s cooling load by 24%
- Its total energy consumption by 11%
Zhao said LandVac and ClearVue have “reached a consensus on strategic cooperation”. He added that LandVac will use Hong Kong as a strategic base to deepen joint R&D efforts and to serve the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.

“The opening of ClearVue’s Hong Kong office is not merely an important milestone for the company, but also represents a new chapter in the global development of green buildings.”
BIAD highlights the ultra-thin photovoltaic VIG
Professor Hou Yu described the ultra-thin photovoltaic VIG jointly developed by ClearVue and LandVac as combining excellent thermal insulation, natural light transmission and photovoltaic power generation. He said it is aimed at high-density, near-zero-carbon buildings across the Asia-Pacific region.
He noted that ClearVue has brought its BIPV products to high-density urban markets such as those in Australia, Japan and Singapore. In his speech, Hou Yu referred to the Hong Kong opening as the establishment of ClearVue’s “first office in Asia”.
Why Hong Kong matters for ClearVue’s regional growth
BIPV refers to glass and façade surfaces that generate electricity as part of a building’s structure. In a dense city such as Hong Kong, where Lau noted glass is everywhere on buildings, hotels and shopping malls, such surfaces offer a way to produce power without separate solar installations.
Lau described the opening as a combination of Australian innovation, “Mainland manufacturing excellence from LandVac” and Hong Kong’s role at the heart of the Greater Bay Area. For ClearVue, the office supports engagement across Hong Kong, Macau and surrounding markets.
| Partner | Role as stated in the announcement |

The announcement points to a developing regional project pipeline and a showroom that will serve as a regional meeting and demonstration centre for prospective customers, industry partners and government stakeholders.
