Announcements, press, and milestones.

The discussion covered three critical themes:

What defines a successful in-China strategy for health and life sciences MNCs in today’s rapidly shifting landscape.

How Chinese innovation is reshaping global R&D — and what companies need to do to keep pace or catch up.

Where Europe fits between the US and China, and its increasingly advantageous positioning in the global life sciences order.

These questions go to the heart of the opportunity — and the complexity — facing anyone operating at the intersection of global health and China’s innovation engine. We’re proud to have Franck’s perspective informing our work across the portfolio.

Aulis Capital was represented at LEAP EAST Panel. Our founding Managing Partner spoke on the “From Lab to Unicorn: Building a Biotech Success Story in Asia” panel at LEAP East.

The conversation explored what it really takes to move breakthrough science out of the lab and into companies built to scale, from navigating regulatory pathways across Asian markets to building the right teams and securing capital at each stage of growth. Asia’s biotech ecosystem is maturing quickly, with strong momentum behind founders who can pair deep scientific expertise with sharp commercial execution.

We thank Michael Rinaman and Jia Zhuang for a thoughtful discussion, and to everyone who stopped by afterward to chat. Conversations like these are exactly why events like LEAP East matter, pushing the whole ecosystem forward.

Exciting times ahead for the next wave of Asian biotech innovation.

Aulis was represented at BIO 2026, where Nisa joined a panel on cross-border biotech partnerships amid a shifting market — drawing a full room and overflow attendance. The discussion underscored that capital is recalibrating rather than retreating, with sustained appetite for scientifically differentiated assets. We thank co-panelists Lila Hope and Ken Song, and moderator June Lee, for the discussion. We look forward to Philadelphia in 2027.

Last week, Aulis Capital CFO Grace Ng and Venture Partner Alwin Poon designed and led a Hong Kong immersion programme for 12 master’s students from Columbia University’s School of International and Public Affairs (SIPA) and Columbia Engineering (SEAS) — part of Aulis Capital’s ongoing commitment to bridging global talent with Asia’s innovation frontier.

The cohort was incredibly diverse — MPA, MIA, and MA Energy & Finance candidates drawn from eight countries and cultural backgrounds, spanning serving policymakers and civil servants, scientists and researchers, investment bankers, VC and PE professionals, and founders. Exactly the kind of room where a single conversation can travel.

The day began with a visit to the HKUST Business School — consistently ranked among the world’s top business schools and a cornerstone of Asia’s research and innovation ecosystem — and the Hong Kong Generative AI Research and Development Centre (HKGAI) at HKUST, one of HK’s most significant initiatives on frontier AI infrastructure.

Grace and Alwin engaged the group on where technology development in Asia is heading: the pace of AI deployment with a healthcare focus, and how Hong Kong’s unique position — a bridge between East and West — shapes capital and innovation flows across borders.

That’s the kind of exchange worth crossing an ocean for.

Our Founding Managing Partner Nisa Leung joined the “China Going Global: Next Chapter for Capital Markets” panel at the J.P. Morgan Global China Summit in Shanghai last Friday.

Nisa was joined on the panel by Bonnie Y Chan, CEO of Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing, with Anu Aiyengar, J.P. Morgan’s Global Head of Advisory and M&A, moderating.

Healthcare innovation remains a defining part of China’s globalization story. The discussion explored the next phase of China’s integration with global capital markets, and the opportunities ahead for companies and investors alike.

Our colleague Mingyu Xue, Ph. D. participated as a panelist in the session “China for Global – Real World Case Studies in Going Global” at CHINABIO® 2026.

The discussion moved beyond high‑level themes to examine concrete China–global deal and expansion case studies, covering how partnerships were structured, the capabilities required across discovery, clinical development, and commercialization, and key learnings from cross‑border collaboration. Mingyu contributed practical perspectives drawn from real‑world experience, helping translate headline deals into actionable insights for the broader ecosystem.

We were pleased to see Mingyu represent our team and contribute to this timely and relevant conversation on global growth pathways for Chinese biotechs and biopharmas.
