Vigonvita plans Hong Kong IPO amid biotech boom

3 February 2025

Chinese biotech company Vigonvita Life Sciences has filed for an initial public offering (IPO) on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, as the city continues to attract biotech listings.

The move comes as Hong Kong strengthens its role as a biotech hub, with recent IPOs and licensing deals fueling sector growth.

The company, founded in 2013, focuses on developing small-molecule drugs for viral infections, neuropsychiatry, and reproductive health. Its pipeline includes VV116, an antiviral drug already approved for COVID-19 treatment in China and Uzbekistan, which is also in late-stage trials for respiratory syncytial virus (RSV).
