Dr. Helen Chan
EY World Entrepreneur Of The Year™ 2026 Judge
Founder and CEO of Vita Green Health Products Co., Ltd., Hong Kong, China
Dr. Helen Chan is empowering global wellness by bridging traditional Chinese and Western medicine.
Dr. Helen Chan straddles the realms of traditional Chinese and Western medicine. Since founding Vita Green in 1993, she has transformed it from a local Hong Kong enterprise into a multinational powerhouse, with products now in markets across numerous countries.
In the late 1980s and early 1990s, Helen chose the remote, resource-scarce Tianlin County in Guangxi as the foundation for her entrepreneurial venture. There, she pioneered the use of Ganoderma (lingzhi), a mushroom, and prized raw material for health supplements. In partnership with the Chinese Academy of Sciences, she spearheaded advancements in cultivation techniques while championing sustainable forestry practices, aiming to transform Tianlin County into China’s largest Ganoderma cultivation hub.
She was inspired by the core tenet of traditional Chinese medicine: fortifying the body’s foundations, a principle that resonated deeply with her vision of promoting widespread health and wellness. She attained formal qualifications in Chinese medicine, becoming an honorary professor and board member at Nanjing University of Chinese Medicine.
Her achievements include the FHKI Industrialist of the Year Award in 2022, Outstanding Female Entrepreneur of the Greater Bay Area in 2020 and DHL/SCMP Hong Kong Business Award – Owner-Operator Award in 2015.
She is the EY Entrepreneur Of The Year® 2024 Hong Kong/Macau Health Sciences and Wellness winner.
