On Friday, October 13, 2023, our Managing Director Ms. Jennifer Che participated as a panelist in InvestHK’s event “Unlock the Life & Health Sciences Potential through Innovation”. Keynote speeches focused on Hong Kong’s strengths in the life sciences (good medical schools, strong research) and also Hong Kong’s challenges bridging the gap between fundamental research and commercial products. The panel discussion centered around “Hong Kong as a life and health technology innovation hub.” Moderated by Dr. Josephine Au from InvestHK, the other panel members included Ir. Eric Chan from Hong Kong Cyberport Management Co. Ltd., Dr. Grace Lau from HKSTP Institute of Translational Research, Ms. Simone Song from ORI Capital and Mr. Henry Yau from HKU Clinical Trials Centre. Jennifer shared about Hong Kong’s uniqueness as a place to find IP experts having international qualifications as well as cross-border experience. She also expressed frustration at how many HK companies still don’t value the importance of good IP strategy (and are unwilling to invest in such matters), which hurts them when they enter the international stage down the road. It was an enlightening discussion and valuable to hear various people’s thoughts on the future of Hong Kong in the life & health sciences area.
