On 22 May 2026, the second Lab & Lounge @CUHK networking talk was held at the UGA event hall, InnoPort. Themed “University Research. Made by Hong Kong: Chinese Medicine ‘Port’?”, the evening brought together researchers, entrepreneurs, and industry professionals to explore how Chinese medicine can evolve from academic discovery into globally competitive health solutions.  Moderated by Professor Walter Ho, Consultant to the Knowledge Transfer Office of the Chinese University of Hong Kong, the session featured Professor Kam Ming Ko, Professor in the Division of Life Science at the Hong Kong University of Science & Technology; Ms. Ming Pang, Founder and CEO of KADOSH Health & Beauty Company Limited; and Ms. Vanessa Lau, Marketing Manager, the Hong Kong Institute of Biotechnology Limited (HKIB). Together, they offered complementary perspectives spanning scientific research, entrepreneurship, and industrial translation—unpacking how innovation in Chinese medicine can move from lab to market within Hong Kong’s growing ecosystem.  The evening began with informal networking over light refreshments, as participants from diverse backgrounds—including faculty members, students, alumni, and industry partners—gathered in a relaxed, open setting.  Professor Kam Ming Ko opened the discussion by grounding the audience in the scientific foundations of Chinese medicine, illustrating how rigorous pharmacological research supports the development of evidence-based health applications.  Building on this foundation, Ms. Ming Pang shared her journey from research insight to brand and business creation. Drawing from her experience in founding KADOSH Health & Beauty and her earlier work with NutriGreen™, she spoke candidly about the challenges of commercialization, the importance of market positioning, and how to translate scientific value into products that resonate with consumers.  From an industry and production perspective, Ms. Vanessa Lau provided a behind-the-scenes look at how laboratory results are scaled into GMP-compliant manufacturing and prepared for global markets. Her sharing highlighted the operational and regulatory considerations essential for bringing Chinese medicine innovations to an international stage.  Organized by CUHK InnoPort, Lab & Lounge @CUHK aims to transform research into dialogue—creating a welcoming environment where knowledge is shared across disciplines and meaningful connections can take root across academia, industry, and society. Participants mingled at UGA Event Hall before the session began, fostering early connections in a relaxed setting. (Photo: KTO)  Guests enjoyed refreshments while engaging in informal conversations.

On 15 May 2026, the Knowledge Transfer Office (KTO) of The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) organized a “Pitching Skills Workshop” to support the finalists of the 12th Hong Kong University Student Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition. The workshop aimed to strengthen the finalists’ pitching capabilities by addressing common pitfalls, sharing proven best practices, and equipping participants with more effective pitching techniques for the finals. Led by Mr. Kelvin Wong, Deputy Director of the KTO, the workshop placed particular emphasis on knowledge transfer and entrepreneurship development. With a dedicated focus on advancing how research outputs can be translated into tangible impact for both industry and society, Kelvin provided practical guidance on how participants can present their ideas strategically and compellingly. Through his coaching on story structure, message clarity, and confidence-building strategies for Q&A, he helped participants enhance their delivery and improve their overall presentation performance – particularly in relation to winning the support of the judges at the final stage. During the interactive session, participants demonstrated strong engagement in the workshop with Kelvin. The session also contributed meaningfully to participants’ storytelling capabilities, enabling them to refine their narratives and present their innovation more effectively.
