This week, our President and Managing Director, Jennifer Che, attended the Asia Summit for Global Health at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (HKCEC). She was truly impressed by the variety of health-related start-ups, projects, prototypes, and collaborations showcased at the event. The advancements in therapeutics, traditional Chinese medicine, diagnostics, surgical equipment, robotics, and AI solutions highlighted the dynamic biotech landscape of Hong Kong today—a stark contrast to when she first arrived.

Jennifer particularly noted the remarkable initiatives emerging from the InnoHK Centres, which stem from collaborations between local and international universities. Reflecting on the event, she echoed Nancy Ip's sentiment at the HKUST reception: “We can’t do it alone. The most important thing is to collaborate.” This collaborative spirit is vital for driving innovation and improving global health outcomes.
