Positioned as Asia’s premier event on health innovation and investment, the 5th Asia Summit on Global Health (ASGH) was jointly organised by the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) and the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) on 26-27 May 2025 at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (HKCEC).

Themed “Fostering Global Collaboration for a Shared Future”, ASGH is a one-stop platform that will bring together all stakeholders – from policymakers to healthcare experts to renowned academia and influential business leaders, together with key industry players, innovative start-ups, and investors from around the world to exchange insights, explore opportunities and collaborate on the diverse and dynamic healthcare sector. This year, the ASGH attracted over 2,900 participants from 42 countries and regions.

As one of the main supporting exhibitors, the CUHK and its startup companies displayed wide-range of biomedical technologies to escalate development in the healthcare sectors and to promote a sustainable future.
