Building Cross-Boundary Elderly Care Ecosystems: Integrating Finance and Care Services Across GBA Cities
The Health and Wellness Working Group hosted a sharing session on 15 June examining how Hong Kong could finance and deliver care for 25–30 years of later life, and the role the Greater Bay Area (GBA) could play in providing practical relief.
Esteemed guests Jacky Man, Assistant Vice President, Product Proposition, Life & Health, Sun Life Hong Kong; Simon Pang, General Manager, General Reinsurance AG, Hong Kong Branch; and Leo Chan, CEO of Hygge Living, examined the "longevity dollar" from the family balance sheet, through risk and the public purse, to the real-world capacity of care operators in Hong Kong and the GBA, while addressing constraints in land and public funding.
Pang drew on his actuarial expertise to highlight the complexities of pricing longevity risk, including factors such as investment returns and medical inflation. Man elaborated on this by noting the common tendency to underestimate life expectancy while overestimating available savings. Cost emerged as a central theme of the discussion, as Chan explored the opportunities available in the GBA relative to Hong Kong, particularly in light of its cost advantage.
Five CityU HK Tech 300 startups also shared how their innovations could support healthier ageing and enable new models of elderly care and silver finance.

Data, AI and SaaS in Hong Kong Logistics
At the committee meeting on 9 June 2026, KLN Logistics (Hong Kong) Limited executives Cruz Zhu, General Manager of Electronics Technology & Industrial, and Patrick Liu, Lead Product Manager of Global IT, shared insights on how Hong Kong logistics companies can harness data, AI and SaaS to move beyond manual, paper-based operations and capture Greater Bay Area opportunities.
They framed AI as the destination, data as the fuel and SaaS as the vehicle, showing how clean, connected data unlocks visibility and enables smarter decision-making rather than purely cost cutting.
The session concluded with a lively Q&A, where speakers addressed common concerns among SME, including practical setup and onboarding costs for smaller operators and how data security is managed in modern cloud and integration architectures.
