The official countdown is underway. With just two weeks until BIOHK2026 convenes
at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (HKCEC) from September 9-12, 2026,
BIOHK2026—organized by the Hong Kong Biotechnology Organization (HKBIO)—serves as
a world-class international landmark event bridging biotech innovation, industrial
capacity, venture capital, and regulatory bodies. Leveraging Hong Kong’s strategic
position as Asia’s premier "Super-Connector" and biotech financing gateway, this
5th annual convention will welcome over 10,000 professional attendees, 400+ world-
class speakers, and delegations spanning over 40 countries and regions.

To assist international delegates in maximizing their strategic footprint, HKBIO
has published a comprehensive operational guide detailing the core pillars of this
year’s convention.

1. Featured Exhibition Pavilions: Landmark Regional & International Innovation Clusters

Spanning expansive exhibition halls hosting nearly 200 global exhibitors, BIOHK2026
brings together prominent regional biotech hubs, state-backed industrial platforms.

Greater Bay Area & Mainland Innovation Hubs: Major regional delegations including
Guangzhou and Shenzhen will showcase their dense biotech clusters, pioneering biotech
enterprises, clinical trial capacity, and advanced biomanufacturing strength. A 
central spotlight will also be cast on the Hetao Shenzhen-Hong Kong Science and 
Technology Innovation Cooperation Zone, highlighting cross-border policy synergy,
joint research initiatives, and frictionless data and sample flows between Hong 
Kong and Mainland China.

Leading Institutional & Corporate Delegations: Backed by Mainland China and connected
to global markets, Hong Kong serves as an ideal pivot for biotech innovation. As
a premier institutional partner, CITIC Group has joined hands with HKBIO for BIOHK2026.
As a flagship implementation of CITIC’s strategy, this landmark partnership leverages
abundant industrial resources, expert think tanks, and deep market entry experience
to fully elevate the scale and international stature of the convention.

in Sweden (HKCCSE) and supported by the Consulate General of Sweden in Hong Kong
and AstraZeneca Hong Kong, this dedicated pavilion brings around 10 leading Nordic
life science enterprises and organizations directly to the main convention floor.
Key participants will showcase breakthrough technologies spanning precision T-cell
receptor-engineered T-cell therapies (Anocca), stromal cell therapies (NextCell 
Pharma), cancer immunotherapies and vaccines (ExpreS2ion Biotechnologies), digital
health (Keeada Health, SoftMed), ophthalmology (Uveo), and biotech development (
Veltio Pharma).

2. High-Impact Conference Program: 50+ Multi-Track Industry Forums

Across seven dynamic stages hosting over 400 world-class speakers, the four-day 
conference features high-level keynotes and more than 50 vertical forums bridging

corporate BD leads, investors, and dealmakers to analyze macro trends, primary vs.
secondary market valuation, cross-border licensing, and value creation.
