JACKSON CHENG

FOUNDER

Jackson brings 25 years of successful track record of incubating and financing new ventures. After founding an Internet Service Provider and building up a financial platform for Canadian-listed mining companies, Jackson partnered with the Vancouver Stock Exchange to organize the first International Mining Exhibition in China in 1996 resulting in over 100 international mining companies participating.  

Jackson’s foresight in the potential of the biotech industry established him as a pioneer in the 1990s – founded the Dragon Pharmaceutics and listed it on Nasdaq in 1998, and spearheaded the company’s international financing and acquisition of a manufacturing plant in China when biotech was still a restricted industry.

Jackson then partnered with the Chairman of the GEM Board of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange to form a financial platform for early-stage life science ventures in China, Hong Kong, Canada and the USA.

His keen insights into the potential of ASEAN and China’s One Belt One Road policy has brought him to a new frontier of hi-tech agriculture industries in the region.
