HKIC, Hong Kong's government investment arm, has partnered with VC firm Gobi Partners and the University of Hong Kong to launch a fund backing university research spin-offs. The Gobi-HKU Fund I has already invested in Manifold Tech (spatial intelligence for robotics) and AilsynBio (AI-driven drug design). This shows Hong Kong's push to commercialise academic research. https://www.scmp.com/business/banking-finance/article/3347689/hkic-gobi-partners-and-hku-team-fund-backing-university-research-start-ups #Tech #Startup #News #DeepTech #HKIC
