# WT | Wearable Technology Conference Brings New Opportunities, Top Three of the First "Hong Kong MedTech Innovation World Cup®" Announced

The 2026 WT | Wearable Technologies Conference made a strong return to Hong Kong after a decade-long hiatus, successfully concluding on March 4-5 at the Hong Kong Science Park. With the theme "Shaping the Future of Healthcare & AI," the event attracted global elites from government, industry, academia, research, and investment sectors. It not only set a new milestone for Asia's wearable technology ecosystem but also revealed prime investment opportunities in medical wearables and digital health for global investors.

The two-day conference drew over 750 professional participants for on-site exchanges, including 37 industry thought leaders from Europe, Asia, and America, 32 outstanding global startups, and multiple professional investment institutions and industry partners. The event served as a one-stop platform connecting "R&D - Mass Production - Compliance - Commercialization," aiming to establish Hong Kong as a hub for medical technology products and a core nexus for global innovation resources and the Greater Bay Area market.

The opening ceremony was presided over by Professor Sun Dong, JP, Secretary for Innovation, Technology and Industry of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. In his speech, he emphasized that life and health technology is a core strategic industry identified in Hong Kong's "Innovation and Technology Development Blueprint" and a key development area in the national "15th Five-Year Plan." The SAR government will launch a HK$10 billion "Innovation and Technology Industry Investment Fund" within the year to guide market capital towards innovative technologies, including medical wearables, providing solid policy and financial support for industry development.

This conference gathered a wealth of talent, assembling 37 authoritative representatives from academia and industry, including Prof. Christopher SÛR.Lowe from the University of Cambridge and Prof. Shintaro Oyama from Nagoya University, for in-depth discussions on topics such as flexible electronics, smart sensors, and AI technology. Experts directly addressed the core industry trend of "consumer electronics medicalization and professional medical equipment consumerization," revealing long-term opportunities in niche areas like smart patches, home medical monitoring, and longevity technology for investors.

**Dr. Ke Tianran, Co-Chairman of the Medical Engineering and Innovation Council (MEIC) Committee and CEO of HuiJu Technology Co., Ltd.,** pointed out that Hong Kong possesses three core advantages in the transformation of medical wearables: First, it has world-class medical schools and clinical research systems to provide authoritative validation for innovative technologies. Second, backed by the vast market of over 86 million people in the Greater Bay Area, it accelerates technology mass production and commercialization. Third, as an international financial center, Hong Kong's active capital market provides full-cycle financial support for startups, ultimately forming a complete ecosystem of "Hong Kong R&D, Greater Bay Area manufacturing, global sales."

As the grand finale of this conference, the inaugural "Hong Kong Medical Technology World Cup® of Innovation" reached its ultimate final. The competition is part of the World Cup® of Innovation series with over 20 years of successful experience. Since its launch at the MEDICA exhibition in Germany in November 2025, it received applications from over 300 global innovation projects, ultimately selecting 32 outstanding startups for the finals. Among them, the UK's FluoretiQ won the championship with its rapid urine testing device, which significantly shortens the traditional testing cycle from 7-10 days of bacterial culture to 15 minutes, assisting doctors in precisely matching antibiotics. The team is currently discussing clinical trials with the City University of Hong Kong's School of Veterinary Medicine, with plans to extend to human clinical trials later.

The runner-up and popularity award were won by Switzerland's Lighthouse Tech SA with its "Smart Vision Aid Glasses" developed using radar sensing technology. This product helps blind and visually impaired individuals detect obstacles above waist level, expanding the range of traditional white canes and benefiting over 300 million visually impaired people worldwide. The local Hong Kong company, Liangan Medical Technology Co., Ltd., won third place with its smart ring. The product enables 24-hour blood pressure monitoring, specifically designed to address the sleep disruption caused by traditional devices, and has already met international cuffless blood pressure measurement standards. It is expected to be launched in the first half of this year and officially go on sale in the second half.

**Mr. Hong Weili, Executive Vice President of Medical Technology at HuiJu Technology Co., Ltd. and one of the competition judges,** noted that the winners share three commonalities that align with industry trends and market demands: first, significantly reducing medical expenses; second, enabling remote diagnosis; third, providing continuous health data to aid in chronic disease management and clinical diagnosis and treatment.

This WT conference attracted extremely high participation. The organizer, Wearable Technologies AG, announced on-site that the WT | Wearable Technologies Conference will be held again in Hong Kong next March, continuing to collaborate with HuiJu Technology and Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation to deepen global cooperation and strategic planning in wearable technologies.

As global population aging accelerates and the burden of chronic diseases increases, wearable technology is driving a comprehensive transformation of healthcare models, becoming a core investment area for long-term global capital deployment. The success of this conference demonstrated Hong Kong's strength as an international innovation and technology hub and built a bridge connecting innovative projects with industrial capital. As Hong Kong's medical wearable ecosystem continues to improve, this trillion-dollar track will bring sustained long-term value opportunities for global investors.
