Academics in Hong Kong and Biotech Commercialisation
• High degree of entrepreneurial spirit• Especially young scientists are positive• Lack of knowledge on how• Only some universities offer courses• TTOs not perceived as pro-active• TTOs are understaffed and under skilled

Overall Conclusion
Hong Kong can establish a biotech cluster
Our overall conclusion is that, if Hong Kong wishes to do so, it can now establish a biotech cluster that includes a biotech industry. We also conclude that it should be done now rather than later so that Hong Kong does not lose the lead it has over several potential competitors.
