InnoCare Pharma Ltd (9969.HK) - What Attracts Both Hillhouse and Vivo Capital?

Since China planned to pilot registration-based IPO system, more and more eligible unprofitable biotech companies are allowed to go public. <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/beigene-ltd" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:27352:1" rel="noopener">BeiGene Ltd (6160 HK)</a> would be the next one. The Company is going to list on the STAR market. Founded in Beijing in 2010, BeiGene is the most representative of the early biotech companies, and it has become a giant now, with a market value of about HK$254 billion on February 1, or less than half of that of <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/jiangsu-hengrui-medicine-co-ltd" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:14128:1" rel="noopener">Jiangsu Hengrui Medicine (600276 CH) </a>(around RMB550 billion). Meanwhile, different from Hengrui’s strategy, which adheres more to the independent R&amp;D and control of core technology and related rights, BeiGene is better at capital operation - Most of the products in pipeline are from license-in mode, and the Company is continuously suffering from losses. So, would the IPO on the STAR market be the last hurrah?
