Advancing “Made in Hong Kong” Medical Intelligence Solutions

With Hong Kong serving as its international headquarters, Yuanhua Robotics, Perception and AI Technologies Ltd (Yuanhua Tech) is ushering in a new era for medical robotics solutions.

For Yuanhua Tech, Hong Kong’s innovation-friendly environment makes it a particularly great base for operations. With its Hong Kong office as the international headquarters, the company adopts a “Made in Hong Kong” branding strategy for global markets. Its flagship KUNWU® Orthopaedic Surgical Robot is the first officially certified “Made in Hong Kong” surgical robot with independently developed core parts. This achievement underscores the city’s position as a hub of medical innovation.

As part of its global expansion plans, Yuanhua Tech set up its international headquarters at the Hong Kong Science and Technology Park in 2022. Tapping into Hong Kong’s thriving innovation and technology (I&T) ecosystem, the company has solidified its presence as a leading tech player on the global stage.

Founded in Mainland China in 2018, the company aims to build the future of healthcare by developing world-leading intelligence technology and robotics solutions designed for various medical specialties. Led by a world-class R&D team, Yuanhua Tech has created a number of pioneering medical innovations.

The Ideal Place to Innovate

“The Hong Kong government’s commitment to promoting and investing in a high-tech driven economy has been a key enabler for change-making companies like Yuanhua Tech,” Lily Meng, Founder and Chairperson of Yuanhua Tech, said. “In particular, its tenacious support for startups and SMEs in the biotechnology and healthcare industries through various policies and initiatives has been instrumental in fostering an environment conducive to innovation and growth in these sectors.”

Meng further highlighted, “With Hong Kong’s unique position as a global business hub and a bridge that connects Mainland China and the rest of the world, it plays a critical role in our plan for overseas expansion.” She added that the Hong Kong office currently has more than 20 employees who cover the functions of R&D, product support, marketing and sales activities for international markets. The company also has plans to strengthen these functions locally, alongside its global business development.

“Hong Kong is dynamic, full of opportunities and rich in cultural diversity. Here, we  have easy access to a wealth of networking and idea-sharing opportunities with people from all over the world, which provides an excellent avenue for us to grow in Hong Kong and overseas,” Meng said. “We have confidence in the resilience and prosperity of Hong Kong and believe the city has its edge in empowering tech companies like us to connect with the world from business, finance and talent-attraction perspectives.”
