The fourth International Healthcare Week (IHW), coordinated by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC), will take place from 26 May to 15 June.
The IHW’s flagship events, the Asia Summit on Global Health (ASGH), jointly organised by the HKSAR Government and HKTDC, will be held at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (HKCEC) on 26 and 27 May while the Hong Kong International Medical and Healthcare Fair (Medical Fair), organised by the HKTDC and co-organised by the Hong Kong Medical and Healthcare Device Industries Association (HKMHDIA), will run concurrently from 26 to 28 May, highlighting Hong Kong’s position as a leading regional healthcare hub.
Margaret Fong, executive director of the HKTDC, said: “As a global hub for medical innovation, Hong Kong serves as both a ‘super-connector’ and a ‘super value-adder’, driving regional collaboration to advance healthcare innovation and foster new quality productivity in biopharmaceutical technologies. At the same time, there are pressing global public health challenges, such as an ageing population and the rising prevalence of chronic diseases, which are intensifying healthcare demand. To address these challenges, the industry is actively embracing innovative technologies to upgrade and transform the healthcare sector.”
Fong continues: “This
year’s ASGH introduces a dedicated Silver Health Chapter, with both
ASGH and the Medical Fair highlighting healthy ageing and elderly health
innovations. The HKTDC will continue to serve as a platform for cross-sector
collaboration supporting industry-academia-research partnership in fields
including biotechnology, digital healthcare, and smart elderly wellness. We
look forward to bringing together local and global experts, investors,
enterprises, and institutions through ASGH and Medical
Fair, injecting new vitality into the Asian healthcare industry and shaping
the future of the medical sector.”
