Prof. ZHENG Yongping, Director of the Research Institute for Smart Ageing (RISA) and Jockey Club Smart Ageing Hub, Henry G. Leong Professor in Biomedical Engineering, Chair Professor of Biomedical Engineering at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU), signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Ms Nyx HE, Partner of the Zhejiang Qiangnao Technology Co. Limited (Qiangnao Technology) at Cyperport on 29 September 2025. The signing ceremony was witnessed by Prof. SUN Dong, Secretary for Innovation, Technology and Industry; Prof. Jin-Guang TENG, President of PolyU; and Mr. Bicheng HAN, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Qiangnao Technology. The strategic partnership will explore the future collaboration of establishing the “PolyU- Qiangnao Joint Research Centre for Brain-Computer Interface”.
The collaboration will enable PolyU and Qiangnao Technology to integrate their expertise in research and development of brain-computer interface (BCI) related products. Qiangnao Technology is the first unicorn in the BCI field in China and the first Chinese team to be selected by Harvard Innovation Lab. Contributing his robust experiences on research and knowledge transfer on ultrasound imaging, rehabilitation and smart ageing technologies, Prof. Zheng will lead the PolyU team. Through joint installation and evaluation of intelligent bionic limbs, this strategic partnership also supports the two-year scheme for granting full subsidies to amputees in Hong Kong for configuring and utilizing high-tech prostheses, as announced in “The Chief Executive's 2025 Policy Address”.
RISA welcomes this synergy between academia, enterprise and the government for driving healthcare technology transfer and innovation in Hong Kong, China and the world. We are looking forward to this exciting collaboration between Qiangnao Technology and stakeholders on delivering accessible, cutting-edge medical technologies to the community.
