In addition to the 2 HKTDC events, the Hospital Authority Conventionwill be taking place at the same venue. The convention is Hong Kong’s largest healthcare gathering, hosting more than 8,500 professionals.

Why Hong Kong?

Hong Kong is advancing to become an innovative life and healthcare hub in the region. Market opportunities are driven by:

  • hospital redevelopment projects
  • demand for intelligent healthcare technologies to support an ageing population
  • the need for effective prevention, screening, diagnostic, and treatment solutions for high-incidence and chronic diseases  

Canadian companies with market-ready or near-commercialized medical devices, digital health solutions, and therapeutics can use Hong Kong as a first reference market in Asia. You can engage through hospital pilot projects, private healthcare buyers, distributors, and strategic partners. You can also pursue clinical collaborations that support product validation and commercialization.

By participating in Hong Kong International Health Week, you’ll access:

  • tailored pre-market briefing
  • market intelligence and strategic insights
  • curated B2B meetings and visibility at the Canada Pavilion
  • pitching opportunities at industry forums at HKIMHF or ASGH
  • conferences and networking opportunities at HKIMHF and ASGH
