Hong Kong wearable tech startup United Sensing & MediTech, with a smart ring for hypertension management on the go, won in third place at the MedTech Innovation World Cup 2026.<\/i> <\/div>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Held on 4\u20135 March 2026 at Science Park, the Wearable Technologies (WT) Conference 2026 was making a return appearance in Hong Kong after a decade, while the Innovation World Cup came for the first time, spotlighting 32 global innovators out of over 300 entries, in which 8 were Hong Kong-based life & health tech companies, vying for opportunities by connecting with research professionals, industry leaders, and investment representatives, including fast track to “HKSTP Soft Landing Programme” where up to HK$100,000 cash funding and access to an extensive network to accelerate market entries is up for grabs. <\/p>\n

Emerged 1st<\/sup> and 2nd<\/sup> from the finals were FluoretiQ<\/b> from the United Kingdom, introducing an on-the-spot diagnostic solution ‘Veri-5’ that identifies the bacteria and antibiotics in 30 minutes, and Light House<\/b> from Switzerland, introducing assistive mobility eyewear ‘TAMI’ that look after the visually impaired regardless of hazardous environments, had also won the Audience’s Favourite. 3rd<\/sup> place came United Sensing & MediTech<\/b>, filling the gaps in monitoring chronic, yet not necessarily lethal cardiovascular diseases, in particular, hypertension, where one-third of the adult population in Hong Kong endures, with a smart ring that presents an alternative that tracks for indicators and tells when possibilities of worsening the condition occurred with ease and efficiency. <\/p>\n

With the city recognised as a global financial centre, and ranked in 2025 the first worldwide for biotechnology IPOs, Prof. Dong Sun, JP, Secretary for Innovation, Technology and Industry, Government of HKSAR<\/b> said, “Initiatives were rolled out to support the local development of life & health tech that are seeing massive success, including the InnoHK clusters, the RAISe+ scheme, and more. Besides from technological advancements, traction for talent and capital have also been witnessed and welcomed.” <\/p>\n

Terry Wong, CEO of HKSTP<\/b> said, “The Conference demonstrated that Hong Kong’s playing a pivotal role as a platform gluing aspects of I&T together\u2014connecting industry and academia for research and development; innovation with investment for commercialisation; and between cities and cultures and compliance practices for adoption\u2014essential in transforming ideas into impact.” <\/p>\n

The notion was in echo as Park company founders joined university professors and industry gurus from around the world in sharing the latest developments in the spectrum of medicine; and for AiQuanMed Engineering & Innovation Council (AEIC) from Singapore, and Organization for Medical, Engineering and Commerce Collaboration (OMECC) from Japan to join as strategic partners to the ‘Global Connect’ initiative for a tighter bond among I&T enablers.Hashtag: #HKSTP<\/p>\n
