Hong Kong Pilot Patent Valuation Support Scheme: Valtech Is Ready
On 30 September 2026, the Hong Kong Government launched the two-year Pilot Patent Valuation Support Scheme (the "Scheme"), giving local SMEs a subsidy to have their patents and other intellectual property (IP) assets professionally valued. The valuation gives banks and investors concrete evidence of what a company's IP is worth, opening the door to IP-backed financing. Valtech Valuation has an established workflow in place and a team that meets the Scheme's designated valuer list requirements, supplemented by additional credentials recognised in the US, Mainland China and Southeast Asia.
Special Research Report: Goodwill, Intangibles and PPE Impairment of HKEx Listed Healthcare Companies
Between FY2021 and FY2025, Hong Kong-listed healthcare companies wrote down about RMB28.8bn of goodwill, intangibles and PPE.

In a typical year, a fifth to a third of issuers recognised a charge. Drug pricing, COVID-19 products and pipeline failures drove FY2022–FY2024. In FY2025, goodwill on hospitals, clinics, fertility and aesthetics businesses took over. No modified audit opinion stated goodwill, intangible or PPE impairment as its basis.
