On the first day of the exhibition, the delegation successfully attracted attention from global industry leaders, corporate partners, and venture capital firms.

During BIO 2025, HKSTP and its park companies made significant strides in fostering cross-border innovation ecosystems and exploring new market opportunities:

  • Immuno Cure, partnering with HKUMed, the developer of the first-in-human novel therapeutic HIV vaccine ICVAX, announced its collaboration with PharmaJet to explore the application of a needle-free vaccination solution, accelerating the global commercialization pathway for ICVAX.
  • HKSTP signed a partnership agreement with DLRC to provide legal advisory services in clinical trials and certification, promoting global ecosystem collaboration and growth.

This delegation not only deepens collaboration between Hong Kong and top global research institutions but also highlights our unique advantages as a core I&T hub in the Greater Bay Area. With strong policy and funding support from the HKSAR government, Hong Kong will further serve as a bridge connecting Mainland China and global tech partnerships, solidifying its leadership in life sciences innovation."

Ahead of BIO 2025, the delegation participated in the "2025 Biomedical Pitch Competition", co-organized by the Boston Capital Investment Club (BCIC) and HKSTP. The event connects global life and health innovators with investors and business partners. Three HKSTP companies—ARBELE, GenEditBio, and Cogsmart—excelled in the preliminary rounds, competing against over 100 global life sciences firms, with ARBELE, HKUMed's affiliated spin-off company, winning the championship, underscoring Hong Kong's research excellence. Over the past three years, this platform has helped startups secure over USD 100 million in funding and connect with hundreds of international investors and partners, driving further business growth.

HKSTP is committed to propelling Hong Kong's life sciences sector onto the global stage, showcasing the city's unique strengths to attract international enterprises and talent. The delegation also organized networking events and visits, enabling Hong Kong companies to engage with overseas investors, leading corporations, and renowned academic institutions, including visits to MIT Professor Robert Langer (Described as "Edison of Medicine"), Harvard Innovation Labs, Cambridge Innovation Center, and more.
