// 慢性便秘為一種常見腸胃疾病，困擾全球約14%人口，惟現有療法大多成效欠佳或有副作用。香港浸會大學轄下的中藥創新研發中心，研發一種用於治療該種疾病的創新中藥CDD-2101，聲稱能改善症狀之餘，也沒有明顯副作用。 http://ejtech.hkej.com/?p=136497 //

// 初創blutech.io，憑一套人工智能物聯網（AIoT）物業管理系統，於首屆「綠色地產創科挑戰賽」奪得冠軍；系統以AI傳感器及無線傳輸技術作為基礎，透過溫度偵測，判斷是否有人疑似跌倒昏迷。若有發現會馬上發送訊息，或啟動警鐘等，通報商場控制室或醫院護士站，以便盡快派人前往了解 http://ejtech.hkej.com/?p=136501 //

// 中大團隊研發的納米機械人，可以與磁驅動系統相配合，利用磁場操控機械人，把藥物精準輸送到指定部位。初步研究數據顯示，相比傳統療法，能減少50倍藥物量，血栓溶解速度快約20倍

創新科技及工業局副局長張曼莉致詞時表示，政府將於今年設立100億元「產學研1+計劃」，加快推進優秀深科技的研發成果轉化以及產業發展。 http://ejtech.hkej.com/?p=136526 //

// 港府正在採取新的有針對性的方法，吸引來自全球的高潛力和戰略企業在香港建立或擴展業務。為支持這一目標，政府成立了OASES（引進重點企業辦公室），積極與這些企業進行接觸，進行談判，制定吸引人的定制措施。計劃還計劃促進這些企業在香港的運營，並為其員工提供支持，例如簽證申請以及子女教育安排等方面的協助。

The government is adopting a new targeted approach to attract high-potential, strategic enterprises from around the globe to set up or expand their businesses in Hong Kong.

// 香港理工大學成立食品科學及營養學系（Department of Food Science and Nutrition，FSN），學系包括食品安全、食品科技、人類營養及中醫藥，致力以專業設計課程培育食品專家，又展示兩大食物科研成果，其一為添加了抗肥胖配方的AkkMore低卡路里雪糕，是研究助理教授常金輝研發的獲獎項目。另一成果是副系主任郭穎軒的研究項目，為現代化及可持續的海產養殖，並以其養殖的藍瓜子斑作為晚宴菜式。

The Hong Kong Polytechnic University has established the Department of Food Science and Nutrition (FSN), which encompasses food safety, food technology, human nutrition, and traditional Chinese medicine. The department is dedicated to nurturing food experts through professionally designed programs. It has also showcased two significant research achievements. One is AkkMore, a low-calorie ice cream with an anti-obesity formula developed by Research Assistant Professor Sammi Chong. The other achievement is the research project of Associate Head Dr. Kelvin Kwok, focusing on modern and sustainable aquaculture and featuring their farmed blue mussels as a dinner dish. http://ejtech.hkej.com/?p=136194 //

// The financing, said Rice, will allow it to push farther into Japan, which is now the company’s biggest source of revenue. Aside from SoftBank, Rice also counts Toyota, Japan Post and Mitsui Group among its Japanese clients.

Japan has been a favored destination for China’s robotics companies seeking to expand internationally, given its aging population and openness to new technology. The ByteDance-backed warehouse robot maker Syrius Robotics, for example, made a foray into Japan at an early stage. https://www.techinasia.com/hongbased-rice-robotics-nets-7m-expand-japan //

// 新加坡政府正在開發一款名為Pair的生產力軟件套件，旨在為公共服務提供寫作和編碼支持。Pair由新加坡政府科技局（GovTech）下的開放政府產品團隊開發，可以作為寫作助手，提供編碼支持，並促進頭腦風暴，同時保持嚴格的安全保護措施。
