Events in 2015

January 23, 2015

The participants had a very rich discussion on how to develop the HK biotech industry from different perspectives, albeit not enough time to discuss item by item in detail. As a result, we aim to make this Forum a regular meeting platform for all biotech-related stakeholders who share the same interest to encourage and enable local and international collaborations, and to provide informed opinion and technical advice to government bodies, healthcare institutions and the general public.
