香港創新領軍人物大獎揭盅 林鄭頒獎予「獨角獸」

6名來自金融科技、生物醫學等界別的創科人物,獲團結香港基金頒發「香港創新領軍人物大獎」。他們大多來自「獨角獸」、即估值78億港元但未上市的初創企業。

基金指,最終收到逾70份提名,誕生6名得獎者,包括電子錢包TNG創辦人江慶恩、快的打車聯合創辦人李祖閩、香港科技大學電子及計算機工程系李澤湘、GOGOVAN聯合創辦人林凱源、香港中文大學李嘉誠醫學講座教授盧煜明,以及WeLab創辦人龍沛智。

團結香港基金表示,6位得獎人以創新的商業模式突破傳統界限,將更好的產品和服務帶給香港,以至中國及全世界,展示香港人具備「闖出香港‧天際飛翔」的成就。

評審團主席馮國經指,獲提名的香港創新企業家都有卓越成就,涵蓋香港眾多範疇, 可見香港的創新意發展前景一片光明。他表揚得獎者克服重重逆境及挑戰,徹底改變行業生態或商業模式,創造新的經濟機會及社會價值,盛讚他們有勇敢創新的精神,值得學習及借鏡。

網貸平台WeLab於2016年已晉升為獨角獸,普遍認為是本港首間估值逾78億港元的科企。WeLab擁有逾 2,700萬位用戶,每月用戶增長逾100萬。該公司推出的貸款手機應用程式「我來貸」在內地深受歡迎。

GOGOVAN於去年8月宣布與內地最大同城貨運平台「58到家」旗下的「58速運」合併,加入獨角獸行列。

 

中大教授盧煜明則先後創辦兩間公司:雅士能基因科技有限公司、思為諾有限公司,發展無創產檢及早期癌症測試。市傳兩者均已變成獨角獸,惟他接受《香港經濟日報》專訪時拒絕作出評論。

2015年,快的打車與滴滴打車宣布進行戰略合併,組成滴滴快的,估值超過350億美元(約2,730億港元)。科大教授李澤湘是大疆(DJI)無人機的董事長,該公司創辦人汪滔是他的學生。

電子錢包TNG最新估值達6億美元(約46.8億港元),已是半隻獨角獸。
