Four finalists pitched breakthrough inventions at this year’s grand finale with healthcare innovators Syngular Technology emerging as winners
The grand finale of the 2025 EQT Impact Challenge saw an exciting conclusion to a competition that showcased Hong Kong’s best science and tech-based start-ups in a battle to win funding and support for their innovative ideas.
Last Thursday, the final four contenders working in the realms of climate change, renewable energy, health and biotechnology – from an initial field of more than 220 pre-seed and seed-funded companies – made their final pitches before the judges.
After presenting their business concepts, financial and operational models, and plans for scalability and longer-term growth, the winner was Syngular Technology, chosen as the outstanding example of how innovative thinking, combined with technical expertise, can be truly transformative.
Based at Hong Kong Science Park, the company has developed a mixed-reality surgical navigation system to guide doctors performing complex operations, such as the removal of bone cancer tumours.
