Mr. Kingsley was selected as the winner of Hong Kong Innopreneur Award - GBA+ Award for his outstanding personal experience. “I am extremely honoured and excited to win the [GBA+ Award]. I think GBA still lacks enough high-quality, translational platforms enabling new biotechs to translate their research into commercially viable products. Just as our industry top CDMOs and CROs helped the biopharma ecosystem of the Yangtze River delta flourish. I envision that Great Bay Bio can also play a similar anchoring role in the GBA. Of course, being recognized for these efforts in the GBA with this award, truly gives me more drive to make this a reality”, said Kingsley.
