Techno-Entrepreneurship Core (TEC) is the coordinating office to synergise and enhance HKU’s efforts in promoting innovation and entrepreneurship to build a vibrant ecosystem.
TEC aims to support the University to innovate the future and fuel the economy, both locally and internationally, with our great talents and discoveries.
We believe, HKU has immense potential for creating interdisciplinary teamwork, technology ventures, and industrial collaboration. TEC is therefore created for making it happen with five essential functions:
Coordinate: coordinate and consolidate existing activities
Educate: train students of all disciplines & enhance learning experiences
Support: support start-ups in commercialising research advances
Connect: connect talents from different aspects
Liaise: Liaise with external partners on I&E collaborations
To drive HKU’s entrepreneurship plans and effort moving forward
To consolidate related resources on campus and act as a focal point for students, professors and external partners
To coordinate or organize activities for encouraging interdisciplinary collaboration, educating entrepreneurial mindset, and nurturing tech ventures out of research outputs
And, to play an important role in connecting with the industry and global entrepreneurship ecosystem
