5.3 General awareness and education on
gerontech
Despite efforts to raise awareness, there is a need for educational
initiatives tailored towards younger people across the various
stages of learning. At the primary and secondary levels, Executive Summary
we recommend hosting gerontech youth competitions on
an annual basis, which we recommend to include a
follow-up opportunity to commercialise innovative designs.
At the tertiary level, we recommend that courses covering
gerontech-related content be expanded across all universities
and applied education institutes in Hong Kong.

Looking forward towards
a comprehensive gerontech
ecosystem

Moving forward, while there are undeniably many positive signs
of synergy and commitment within Hong Kong’s gerontech
ecosystem, there remain many areas that still do not receive
adequate support. As such, the strengthening of key levers,
namely supply-side, demand-side, infrastructure, investment
and talent, will help enhance our gerontech ecosystem in the
coming years. Our commitment to build on the successes and
momentum within the industry today, as well as enhancing the
gerontech ecosystem further, is a continued investment for the
celebration of ageing.
