HONG KONG INNOHEALTH CUP

The ‘Hong Kong InnoHealth Cup’ is a flagship competition focused on health innovation, organised by HKUMed and the Hong Kong Subsidized Secondary Schools Council, and co-organised by the Association of Principals of Government Secondary Schools, the Hong Kong Grant Schools Council, and the Hong Kong Direct Subsidy Scheme Schools Council.

The competition aims to inspire senior secondary students to focus on real-world health issues. Through evidence-based research methods, interdisciplinary learning and creative thinking, students develop innovative health and biomedical technology solutions, while also completing structured research projects under professional mentorship. The winning teams will also participate in a summer programme and clinical experience activities co-organised by HKUMed and Queen Mary Hospital, further broadening their medical professional horizons.

HEALTH TECHNOLOGY & INNOVATION

Building upon the success of the first launch in 2025, this year's event significantly expanded its reach, attracting active participation from over 570 students and teachers across 84 secondary schools in Hong Kong and other parts of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA). The first-time participation of GBA secondary schools facilitated cross-border exchange, as well as deeper interaction and sharing in medical innovation among the students. This also underscores the vital role of health technology and innovation in tackling shared regional medical and public health challenges.
