Event Highlight: Connect & Converse – Career Stories from Young Professionals

HKLSS hosted the “Connect & Converse: Career Stories from Young Professionals” event on 11 June 2025, bringing together students and early-career professionals with a shared interest in life sciences, biomedicine, and biotechnology.

The event featured a dynamic mix of a sharing session and small group conversations, where participants had the opportunity to engage directly with HKLSS young mentors — emerging professionals from across the life sciences sector. These mentors shared their personal career journeys, practical advice, and insights into the evolving industry landscape, fostering a supportive and peer-driven environment for open dialogue and learning.

We were delighted to have the following young mentors join us as speakers:
- Mr Sze Wang Li, Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation (HKSTP)
- Ms Heti Yiu, Jardine Matheson
- Dr Carol Lee, The Chinese University of Hong Kong
- Ms Candice Wan, Ultra High Point
- Mr Harrison Li, WeDerm

Their stories and experiences offered attendees valuable perspectives on navigating early career decisions, building resilience, and exploring diverse pathways in the life sciences field.

HKLSS extends its sincere thanks to all speakers and participants for contributing to a meaningful and inspiring evening of connection and growth.
