Hong Kong has modern public and private
healthcare sectors and the city welcomed and encourages R&D projects in this field.
Investors who want to establish a life science company in Hong Kong can benefit from the support services offered by the Government and the local community build around the Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation.
An overview of the Hong Kong life sciences sector
The Hong Kong Government supports the development of the private healthcare sector and there are plans to open more private hospitals, in addition to the existing ones.
The
life sciences sector in Hong Kong is encouraged through a series of facilities for high-tech firms, R&D incentives and access to special investment areas. The
Hong Kong Science & Technology Parks Corporation offers such opportunities for investors in life sciences. Here, they have access to a specially build work environment and facilities to conduct their activities. Biotechnology is one of the three sectors that are facilitated in this Park, other being related electronics, engineering, and telecommunication. Here, investors can open a Hong Kong company that focuses on medical devices, regenerative medicine and Chinese medicine and other sub-sectors.
An advantage for biotechnology companies in Hong Kong is the easy access to other Southeast Asian markets and close proximity to Mainland China. The Hong Kong company formation process is as straightforward for life sciences companies as for other types of businesses.
Investors in the life science sector can find various opportunities in related fields like pharmaceuticals, the development of new hospitals and care facilities, biotechnology or Chinese medicine.
