NextCell in Swedish Life Science Delegation to Hong Kong

December 9, 2025

NextCell Pharma AB (“NextCell” or “the Company”) is participating in the Swedish life science delegation to Hong Kong on 10–12 December 2025, organised by the Hong Kong Chamber of Commerce in Sweden and the Hong Kong Biotechnology Organisation (HKBIO). The delegation brings together leading Swedish companies to deepen collaborations in research, clinical development, industrial production, and investment in Hong Kong and the Greater Bay Area (GBA).

Hong Kong is rapidly positioning itself as an international hub for regulatory innovation, clinical research, and capital markets, while serving as a strategic and operational access point to China and the GBA — a region of 87 million inhabitants and one of the world’s fastest-growing life science ecosystems.

“Hong Kong represents a highly interesting bridge into China, both from a regulatory and commercial perspective. NextCell is actively exploring the possibility of establishing a presence in the region as a future pathway for clinical development and partnerships in the Chinese market,” says Mathias Svahn, CEO of NextCell Pharma.

The delegation includes meetings with Hong Kong’s Innovation, Technology and Industry Bureau (ITIB), Invest Hong Kong, Hong Kong Science & Technology Parks (HKSTP), and Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing (HKEX), with a focus on regulatory opportunities, clinical collaborations, and investor relations.
