On Tuesday's Backchat, we looked into the latest trends, opportunities and challenges faced by the local proprietary Chinese medicine industry, following the unveiling of a research report by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council.
Recent developments on the mainland have created opportunities for Hong Kong companies.
After the break, we heard about the 'Igbo Youth Cultural Awareness Programme', that was recently held at Science Park. We learned how the event helped promote understanding of the Nigerian culture in the city.
And we wrapped up the show by speaking to the Hong Kong Chinese Orchestra, which recently announced its upcoming programme highlights.
