2025/09/02 | Enhancing Healthcare through AI and Biotech AI is transforming drug discovery and diagnosis while accelerating advancement in biotechnology and genomics. This, in turn, is propelling Hong Kong's healthcare and biotech sectors forward, said Cherry Yeung, Senior Economist at Hong Kong Trade Development Council, during the Europe Committee's meeting on 2 September.
She also highlighted that two-thirds of businesses involved in health tech and biotech in the Asia-Pacific region expect strong growth over the next two years. This is driven by ageing populations and trends such as the “vitamins and dietary supplements fourth meal,” which is becoming increasingly popular among younger, health-conscious Chinese consumers.
During the same meeting, C K Lee was elected Chairman, taking over from Alfonso Ballesteros, who stepped down after serving for two years. Stratos Pourzitakis, PhD and Bjoern Lindner were re-elected Vice Chairmen, while Philipp Hanusch was newly elected Vice Chairman.
