Backchat

On Friday's Backchat, we discussed the key highlights of this year's Global Prosperity Summit, which saw a gathering of local and international industry leaders to discuss how Hong Kong can act as a "super-connector" across sectors. 

We spoke to Executive Council convenor Regina Ip, and Iñaki Amate, Chairman of the European Chamber of Commerce in Hong Kong, who organised the high-profile forum.

After the break, we heard about simple exercises and stretches that experts from the Polytechnic University and the Salvation Army say can help alleviate body pains for the elderly.

And finally to mark Schizophrenia Awareness Week, we talked to experts on the importance of raising awareness about the condition, which affects millions of people worldwide.
