Hong Kong provides a dynamic and data-centric healthcare system, excellence academic achievements, robust infrastructures to support R&D and clinical trials, and funding access from both government and private sectors to accelerate downstream commercialization.

The summit attracted more than 150 online and offline participants, bringing together industry leaders, investors, research and medical professionals, financial specialists and professional service providers to share their insights and expertise. The summit facilitated networking, created business opportunities and illuminated the advantages of Hong Kong's L&HS industry in research, investment and finance.
