Spotlight on Hong Kong’s Life Science Industry
Hong Kong is keeping its position as a leading life and health innovation hub. According to InvestHK, 45 life and health tech companies have set up shop since 2023, creating over 3,200 local jobs and attracting HK$6.5 billion in investments.
With Shanghai continuously strengthening its role as a powerhouse in China's biotech sector, Hong Kong has become a vital link between China and the global health market. This strategic positioning has drawn interest from life science firms not only in China but also from Singapore and beyond.
Along with initiatives like the Greater Bay Area and the Top Talent Pass Scheme (TTPS), Hong Kong is attracting top health professionals, driving progress in medical research, drug development, and clinical trials. Drug giant AstraZeneca's recent collaboration with Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks (HKSTP) highlights this momentum.
According to Links’ Ultimate 2024 Salary Guide, Scientific R&D roles are flourishing, driven by the HK government’s commitment to fostering innovation, while traditional sales and pharmaceutical roles decline.
