The “University-Industry Collaboration on Chinese Medicine Innovation Forum” co-organised by the Research Centre for Chinese Medicine Innovation (RCMI), Policy Research Centre for Innovation and Technology (PReCIT), and The Modernized Chinese Medicine International Association, bringing over a hundred academic and industry leaders from the GBA to discuss how to deepen collaboration to promote CM development and grasp the research and business opportunities in the GBA. The recommendations will be submitted to the Government during the 2023 Policy Address public consultation.
Prof. Wing-tak WONG, Deputy President and Provost of #PolyU, said, “The HKSAR Government has always been supporting the research and development of Chinese medicine. The additional funding added to the Chinese Medicine Development Fund in the 2023-24 Budget and the expected opening of the first Chinese medicine hospital in the year 2025 will promote CM as an increasingly integral part in Hong Kong’s healthcare system. Furthermore, the GBA’s development brings invaluable opportunities for the local CM industry. The Government, industry and academics shall work closely to seize these opportunities and develop a long-term plan for improving the ecosystem of the local industry.”
