On October 21, we held a special launching ceremony. A defining moment of the launch was the symbolic “Golden Key” assembly ceremony, where representatives from CMA+, Yingke Law Firm, Hui Doe&Sum Law Firm LLP in association with Yingke(Hong Kong) Law Firm, and SESG came together to piece together the key – marking the official start of our powerful tripartite collaboration in business innovation, legal and wealth management.
This union is dedicated to providing comprehensive support for businesses and talent embarking on their global expansion journey, with Hong Kong serving as the ideal springboard to the world.
Thank you to everyone who joined and witnessed this milestone. The launch is just the beginning; we look forward to sailing towards a vibrant future together!
On October 14, 2025, World Standards Day, the “Guangdong Standardization Innovation Development Conference and 2025 World Standards Day Promotion Event” was held in Foshan, Guangdong. During the event, a new batch of 27 “Greater Bay Area Standards” was officially announced. Among these, CMA Testing was awarded a plaque and confirmation certificate as one of the lead compiling units for the “Care Food GBA Standard”, fully demonstrating its leading role and contributions in testing technology and standard formulation, and further advancing high-quality development through Greater Bay Area Standards.
The “Care Food GBA Standard” is the first standard in the silver economy sector led by Hong Kong industry stakeholders. Developed in collaboration between The Hong Kong Council of Social Service and The Chinese Manufacturers’ Association of Hong Kong, it was officially included in the “Greater Bay Area Standards” list on September 25 this year. This standard provides clear guidance for “care food” producers in Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macao, helps unify testing procedures, enhances product quality, promotes technological innovation and food safety, and creates more cross-regional cooperation and market expansion opportunities for Hong Kong manufacturers, effectively benefiting the silver-haired population across the Greater Bay Area and nationwide.
That same afternoon, Mr. Dominic Lam, Chief Operations Officer of CMA Testing, along with The Hong Kong Council of Social Service and the Shenzhen Association for Analysis and Testing, visited the Guangdong Standardization Research Institute. There, they studied the history and successful cases of standardization and engaged in mutual exchanges.
As the silver economy gains momentum, many renowned restaurants and food enterprises are stepping into the “care food” market, aiming to offer elderly-friendly dining with improved safety, nutrition, and variety. The Chinese Manufacturers’ Association of Hong Kong (CMA) and Hong Kong Council of Social Service (HKCSS) co-led the development of the “Care Food GBA Standard”, in collaboration with Shenzhen Association of Testers and Analysts and over 40 cross-sector partners.
On September 25, the Greater Bay Area Standardization Research Center officially included the “General Requirements of Dysphagia Diet for Elderly (Care Food)” in the GBA Standard list. As the first GBA standard initiated by Hong Kong’s industry for the silver economy, it provides a technical framework for unified food testing, enhanced quality, safety assurance, and innovation. With more restaurants and manufacturers investing in care food, this standard comes at the right time to guide the industry towards professional, standardized, and scalable development.
Dr. Wingco Lo, President of CMA, stated: “The Care Food GBA Standard is not only a collective achievement of Hong Kong’s business, social, and testing sectors but also a key step in upgrading the elderly-friendly food industry. Leveraging CMA Testing’s expertise, we will support the industry in complying with the latest international benchmarks in processing, freezing, sterilization, and nutritional preservation. This will empower manufacturers and restaurants to create higher-quality elderly care foods and capture new opportunities in the silver economy.”
CMA Testing now offers comprehensive soft food testing services, providing technical support across the supply chain—from R&D to quality assurance. This enhances product quality, accelerates industry compliance with the new standard, and strengthens competitiveness for food and catering brands entering the silver dining market.
CMA Testing, HKCSS, and leading industries are working together to support the next milestone in innovation and standardization for the elderly-friendly food sector, paving the way for a thriving silver economy in the Greater Bay Area.

September 20, 2025 – At the CAS Major Achievements in Scientific and Technological Transformation Initiative & Zhejiang New Knowledge and Quality·Showcase and Trading Fair (Ningbo New Materials Session), CMA Testing, with its CMA+ technology commercialization platform, participated as a representative of a major signing project affiliated with the Chinese Academy of Sciences. They entered into a strategic cooperation agreement with Ningbo Harbour Technology Industrial Development Co., Ltd. to jointly establish the “CMA+ Ningbo Technology Commercialization Base & Global Launchpad” and the “Ningbo-Hong Kong Offshore Technology Innovation Center FHKI Base.” This collaboration marks a critical step forward in our efforts in transformation of scientific and technological achievements and international expansion.
This signing ceremony stood out as a major highlight of the trading fair. It aims to fully leverage CMA Testing’s professional expertise in testing, certification, technical standardization, and commercialization, combined with Ningbo Harbour Tech’s industrial resources and geographical advantages, to jointly accelerate the rapid transformation and international application of scientific and technological achievements from the Chinese Academy of Sciences and other cutting-edge sources.
As a technology commercialization platform from Hong Kong, CMA+ is not merely a participant in Ningbo-Hong Kong technological exchange but also a catalyst and accelerator for connecting the innovation resources of both places. CMA+ can build a bridge for the transformation of new quality productive forces:
- Creating a “Two-Way Channel” for Tech Transfer: Introducing cutting-edge technologies from Hong Kong into the mainland market while also assisting mainland enterprises in going global through Hong Kong.
- Building a Comprehensive Service System: Providing full-chain support for technology commercialization, from technical assessment and market matching to industrial implementation.
- Pooling Innovative Resources: Aggregating innovation resources from Hong Kong universities and research institutions to form an industry-oriented “Technology Solutions Repository.”
Looking ahead, CMA+ will play the following key roles in the Ningbo-Hong Kong tech cooperation:
Precise Matching, Facilitating Technology Landing
Leveraging its systematic understanding of Hong Kong’s tech resources and deep comprehension of Ningbo’s industrial needs, CMA+ will establish a regular technology demand matching mechanism to help high-quality projects quickly find application scenarios in Ningbo.
Ecosystem Development, Serving the Full Innovation Cycle
We will bring together governments, universities, enterprises, and investment institutions from both locations to build a full-chain service system covering technology transfer, startup incubation, and industrial acceleration, effectively reducing the institutional and time costs associated with transformation of scientific and technological achievements.
CMA Testing’s deep involvement and signing at this event represent a concrete action in implementing the “Deepening Academy-Local Cooperation” strategy. We firmly believe that through this two-way collaboration, we can outfit more “golden ideas” from the laboratory with market-recognized “standard packaging,” paving a golden pathway from “technology” to “product,” and from “Ningbo” to “the world.” Let us join hands and create the future together!
