Inaugural International Healthcare Week promotes Hong Kong as leading healthcare hub

HONG KONG, Oct 31, 2022 – (ACN Newswire) – Developments such as the COVID-19 pandemic and a global ageing trend have significantly increased the demand for healthcare products and services. The inaugural International Healthcare Week, driven by Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC), will run from 1 to 15 November 2022, helping to promote innovation, investment and exchange by fully utilising Hong Kong's strategic role as an innovation and investment hub for Asia's healthcare industry. The two flagship events of International Healthcare Week are the second Asia Summit on Global Health (ASGH) co-organised by the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) and the HKTDC, and the 13th edition of the HKTDC Hong Kong International Medical and Healthcare Fair organised by the HKTDC.
HKTDC Executive Director Margaret Fong; Prof Lo Yuk-lam, Chairman of GT Healthcare Capital Partners & President of the HK Bio-Med Innotech Association (L); Rupert Mok, Secretary General of Hong Kong Medical and Healthcare Device Industries Association (R)

Yuan Hua Technology presents its research results at the press conference.

Cellomics Holdings Limited features its product and service at the press conference.


The two concurrent events encompass both upstream and downstream healthcare industries, from technology research and development, investment matching and medical device manufacturing, to medical products and services. Together they form a comprehensive one-stop platform to create synergies for medical and healthcare industry professionals.

Margaret Fong, Executive Director of the HKTDC, said: "Since the pandemic, healthcare and the life sciences have become a global focus. From our work in promoting technology and medical devices over the years, we see that Hong Kong has considerable strengths in both the upstream and downstream elements of the healthcare, medical and life sciences ecosystem that can support the city in developing into a leading global healthcare and life sciences hub. In launching the first-ever International Healthcare Week this year, the HKTDC is inviting policymakers, healthcare experts, leaders in scientific discovery as well as business and financial leaders from around the world to share the latest industry knowledge and build business networks, and in the process cementing Hong Kong's position at the forefront of Asia's rapidly expanding healthcare industry."

Building a sustainable post-pandemic future

The second Asia Summit on Global Health will take place on 10 and 11 November. Activities on the first day will be held physically at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (HKCEC) with a live online broadcast, while the second day will be entirely virtual. Under the theme "Charting a New Course in Healthcare through Collaboration", the summit will feature more than 80 speakers including healthcare officials and organisations from around the world, international science and medical experts, investors, key industry players, business leaders, financial specialists and professional service providers. They are gathering to share their experience on the latest developments in public health, medical technology, international business collaboration and investment, and to explore future opportunities in the medical and healthcare industry.

In the opening session, John Lee, Chief Executive of the HKSAR, will deliver the opening remarks, while Dr Zsuzsanna Jakab, World Health Organization Deputy Director-General, will address the summit as a guest speaker. Prof Lo Chung-mau, Secretary for Health, and Prof Dong Sun, Secretary for Innovation, Technology and Industry of the HKSAR, will also share their insights on how we can formulate more sustainable future policies on public healthcare and health innovation.

Explore China's healthcare opportunities in the GBA

In the plenary session, "Charting a New Course in Healthcare through Collaboration", the speakers will discuss the role of Asia in the global development of the healthcare industry, as well as how stakeholders around the world can collaborate in preparation to address future challenges in terms of public health, the economy and environmental protection. In view of the rapidly increasing demand for high-quality healthcare and private hospital services, the panel discussion titled "The Next Development in China's Healthcare Sector" will see industry players gather to examine the latest trends and strategies in relation to healthcare investment and explore how to grasp investment opportunities in this rapidly growing market.

The importance of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA) as a hub for advanced manufacturing, services, technology and innovation will be addressed in two sessions, namely "How Innovation in the GBA Reshapes Global Healthcare" and "Hong Kong as a Fundraising Hub for Global Biotechnology and Healthcare". Guest speakers including Thomas Herget, Head of Merck China Innovation Hub; Nicolas Aguzin, HKEX Chief Executive Officer; and Benjamin Xiaoyi Li, Chairman of the Board, Executive Director and CEO of Zhaoke Ophthalmology Limited, will share on the importance of the GBA in reshaping global healthcare in the future, as well as the role of Hong Kong in helping the GBA to become a world-class health technology hub and mobilising capital for health research and innovation.

This year's fair, themed "Decoding MedTech Trends", has attracted more than 300 exhibitors from Hong Kong and different countries and regions, including companies from Canada, Mainland China, Korea and Taiwan, that will join under the physical and online format.

The fair will showcase multiple innovative medical and health-related products, including the Pocket Smartphone Ophthalmoscope, which is an ophthalmoscope that can be mounted over a smartphone camera, making it possible for caregivers to take fundus images of care recipients. The digital images are then sent direct to an ophthalmologist for diagnosis, making it quicker to detect eye-related problems and increasing the availability of early eye disease screening. The Implant Simulator, on the other hand, predicts the probability of different orthopaedic implant designs resulting in bone cracking. The system provides fast and accurate outcomes and has been used by five of the world's top 10 implant manufacturers. Another solution on show is AccuPos-Patient Tracking, a system that offers dashboard reports to caregivers in hospitals and elderly care centres for monitoring care recipients' locations in real time. Other featured products include 3D Anatomy Educational Software, the Robotic Flexible Endoscopic System, the Portable Digital Blood Pressure Monitor and many more. Six universities in Hong Kong, including the University of Hong Kong, the Chinese University of Hong Kong, the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, the Education University of Hong Kong, the Hong Kong Baptist University and the Lingnan University, will also participate in the physical exhibition to showcase their achievements in innovation and technology for the healthcare industry.

Twenty-two start-up enterprises will showcase their innovation and technology achievements at the show to capture new business opportunities. Various medical technology solutions will be on display, such as an advanced platform by HerBChain that uses blockchain technology to document supply chain data – from growing herbs to marketing herbal products – with the aim of improving the quality of herbs. Another innovation featured at the fair is the CTC100 Cell Sorting Platform that enables the isolation of circulating rare cells from blood to promote the early screening and treatment of cancer along with continuous monitoring for the benefit of patients.

Industry professionals share insights at HKMHDIA MedTech Forum

Organised by the HKMHDIA in strategic partnership with the HKTDC, the HKMHDIA MedTech Forum 2022 will be held on the first day of the fair (9 November) at the HKCEC, accompanied by an online simulcast.

On 10 and 11 November, seminars and workshops on topics such as atrial fibrillation, medtech and applications of artificial intelligence will be staged by the Hong Kong Doctors Union, the Hong Kong Federation of Senior Citizen Industries and the Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks.

Deal Flow Matchmaking, showcasing new medical and health innovations

During the two highlight events, a series of deal sourcing and matchmaking sessions will be held to help enterprises, start-ups, investors and buyers build connections and expand their businesses. The first day of the summit will feature Deal Flow Matchmaking which connects project owners with potential investors and business partners worldwide.

Launch of BYOND MOBILE is driving the Region’s 5G Industry to the Next Level

BANGKOK, Oct 17, 2022 – (ACN Newswire) – VNU Asia Pacific launched BYOND MOBILE from 28-29 September at Samyan Mitrtown Hall, Bangkok to set a platform for the networked economy of the future and its 5G product and solutions. The two-day conference and exhibition brought together business leaders from the Health, Manufacturing, Smart City and Future Mobility vertical with strategy experts from the Internet, Mobile Communications, and IT sectors.


Today, mobile broadband networks cover 96% of the population of Asia Pacific, with 1.2 billion people accessing mobile internet services. 5G momentum continues to accelerate across the region with commercial 5G services now available across 14 markets. By 2025 there will be 400 million 5G connections across the region – just over 14% of the population. The mobile ecosystem continues to contribute strongly to the economy across Asia Pacific, generating 5% of GDP across the region, which is equivalent to $770 billion of economic value added. The mobile ecosystem also supports 8.8 million jobs both directly and indirectly.(1)

"It was exciting to finally launch BYOND MOBILE after the Covid pandemic. The region's first dedicated platform for the roll out of 5G set to be the stage to connect key players within the 5G ecosystem from Southeast Asia. The atmosphere at the event was excellent as exhibitors and visitors were glad to participate at a live event again," says Isabelle Springfeld, Project Manager of BYOND MOBILE.

Visitors and media were pleased with the extensive range of 5G products and solutions from the 36 exhibiting companies and associations as well as the great networking opportunities onsite. Spread over the two show days, BYOND MOBILE welcomed 1,100+ visitors from 14 countries. Likewise, the exhibitors were satisfied with the quality of visitors. The companies stated that it was great to meet their clients and prospects face-to-face again.

"Now it's time to start thinking about where we can evolve with 5G, and this event has been really interesting. Many other 5G ecosystem players have come and brought their solutions in combination with the 5G capability – it is truly a BYOND MOBILE event," concludes Perry Poehlmann, Head of APJ CX Field Marketing, Nokia.

"This exhibition is like a glove that matches us as our company does a lot of integration and communication. We see that many of the products we built – IoT, Smart City – will be affected by 5G, that's why I think this event is the perfect fit for us," states Tanajak Watanakij, Vice President of Cybersecurity and Data Analytics, RV CONNEX.

Accompanied by the exhibition the conference was conducted with 46 sessions in two-days. The Thought Leader Arena in the main hall presented 40+ thought leaders within keynote speeches, fireside chats and panel discussions. In the Deep Dive Hub in the adjoining breakout room visitors gain deep knowledge insights through master classes and product demonstrations from exhibiting companies and associations. The visitors appreciated the quality of both the speakers and their papers.

Navachai Kiartkorkuaa, Head of Enterprise Marketing and SME Business, AIS and speaker of the Thought Leader Arena says: "This exhibition is really good. It encourages Thai Businesses or even Thai people to adopt 5G and bring more benefit of 5G to the society and to the digital economy in Thailand. I really believe that this type of event will help Thailand to promote our 5G infrastructure and make us gain more and more digital economy value from 5G."

Wisarut Gunjarueg, Thailand 5G Ecosystem Innovation Centre Manager and speaker of the Deep Dive Hub concludes: "BYOND MOBILE is the event which unites technologies providers same as the vendors. We see all the partners among different industries such as banking, manufacturing, or logistic. It's a great opportunity for the ecosystem to have a discussion and find a way to collaborate to push the economic growth of the digital economy in Thailand."

Until the new date in September 2023, the BYOND MOBILE team will create intensive contents and engaging activities in form of online webinars and physical meetup events for key stakeholders in Bangkok to discuss current industry news and stay connected.

BYOND MOBILE is a global bridge to Southeast Asia. With International experts serving the 11-country nation group, industries can connect with suppliers across the world. It will provide insight and strategies for business leaders seeking to explore and evaluate the latest technology solutions and services that drive necessary innovation.

Hanoi to Host The 14th Global CSR & ESG Summit & Awards 2022 on 3-4 November 2022

HANOI, Vietnam, Oct 17, 2022 – (ACN Newswire) – The world's leading thought Leadership event on CSR – The Global CSR & ESG Awards will host the 14th year in 2022 as a physical event. With the 2021 edition turned virtual, the 2022 event will return to the physical event format on 3rd November 2022. At the 2021 virtual event, we unveiled the new event Global ESG Awards logo which will reinforce the longstanding Global CSR Summit & Awards to the new event branding: "The Global CSR & ESG Summit & Awards 2022."

In 2021, where the world was focused on overcoming and adapting to the prolonged impact of the Covid- 19 pandemic, new challenges emerged on the economic and geopolitical fronts with global inflation and the Russian military aggression on Ukraine, threatening to derail the much-anticipated recovery needed to alleviate the tremendous hardship faced by communities affected by the pandemic.

On the environmental front, following the release of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and the COP26 climate conference in Glasgow, 2022 is set to be a critical year for climate change. At the landmark event, governments and businesses had committed ambitious plans to decarbonize. The real challenge remains on the extent these pledges would be fulfilled.

Fortunately, several positive developments have emerged with many companies adopting net zero targets on top of increased regulatory requirements around the world seeking mandatory disclosure on climate risks. In Asia alone, countries like Singapore, India and China have either proposed or implemented some form of climate related reporting. Against such positive momentum, it would not be too far-fetched to see net zero as being the norm and expectations among consumers and corporate practice in the near future. Increased regulations will push companies to focus on the social factor in ESG. Companies will come to realize that in order to meet the environmental targets set in COP26, they will have to work closely with local communities and farmers including with vendors in their supply chains as climate issues are intricately linked to a myriad of stakeholders and systems.

The theme of this year's event, "Beyond Net Zero & ESG" will inspire participants to discuss and discover ESG and CSR strategies by corporations and stakeholders. The conference will also focus on how the challenges faced today will inevitably hasten the pace for climate friendly solutions and technologies including electric vehicles, high tech farming, sustainable supply chains and nature-based solutions. Throughout history, whenever humanity is faced with tremendous challenges and unexpected upheavals, the speed of creativity and innovation accelerates, ensuring the survival and resilience of our human race.

Over 200 delegates consisting of local and overseas guests are expected to attend this event. 25 speakers mostly thought leaders of our time from various industries will share some of the most innovative ideas on environmental protection and resilience, for environmental protection, community empowerment, gender equality and workplace diversity, supply chain transparency, corporate transparency, brand activism and technology for social good. Lastly, as always, we will conclude the conference with our signature touch on day two which will be a memorable eco tour.
