As Hong Kong actively drives the development of its life and health technology sector, the demand for emerging talent with cross-disciplinary perspectives continues to grow. In the 2026/27 Budget, the HKSAR Government outlined plans to integrate the development of life and health technology at upstream, midstream and downstream levels, providing clearer policy support for talent cultivation in the sector. The Hong Kong Life Sciences Society (HKLSS) Mentorship Scheme has consistently bridged experienced industry professionals with young talent, helping mentees move from theory to practice and laying an important foundation for the sustainable growth of Hong Kong's life sciences ecosystem.

Team Prologue supported this project by crafting press release and distribution and reaching out to media to secure coverage, successfully attracting coverage from media including Ta Kung Pao, Wen Wei Po, Hong Kong Economic Times and TVB.
