Just three months later, on June 18, <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/hutchmed-china-ltd" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:133:1" rel="noopener">Hutchmed China Ltd (13 HK)</a> formally passed the HKEX hearing for its IPO. After listing in the UK and the US, Hutchmed has made its way to Hong Kong after all. However, those leading listed domestic biopharmaceutical companies have already started their commercialization of products, and the construction of supporting capabilities such as sales team and production capacity is also under way. Therefore, in the context of fierce domestic innovative drug competition, it is not clear whether Hutchmed can perform well based on its pipeline and commercialization capabilities. This insights mainly analyzed both the strength and the concerns of the Company.

Brii Biosciences / Equity Capital Markets

On April 8, 2021, <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/brii-biosciences" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:33014:1" rel="noopener">Brii Biosciences (1621985D US) </a>submitted its listing application to the main board of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. Since June 2018, the Company has raised several rounds of funding with approximately US$414 million in total. In March of this year, Brii completed a US$155 million Series C financing with a post-financing valuation of US$1.455 billion. The founding investors include Boyu, 6 Dimensions, ARCH, Sequoia China, Yunfeng and BluePool, which are all well-known healthcare and biotech funds. Compared with the financing of tumor immunity and cell therapy projects, it is less common for large-scale financing in the field of anti-infection. So what makes the Company so special that it attracts so many star investors? This insight mainly analyzed the key product candidates and related concerns.
