HKU Faculty of Engineering is committed to fostering contemporary engineering education for students to contribute to the industry and addressing the changing needs of the community. In keeping with this commitment, the Faculty is launching an “Innovation Academy” to provide every student with the opportunities and intellectual inspiration to innovate and pursue their engineering passion. The Innovation Academy is a hub for attracting and cultivating new generation of talents, not only scholars and researchers, but also industry leaders and influencers. It works like an accelerator for inspiration and implementation.
One of the key reasons leading to the failure of most of the startups from universities in Hong Kong is the lack of entrepreneurial skillset and mindset. Graduates, especially those from MSc and PhD, form startups with their technologies but without much knowledge of market situation, customers’ needs/preferences, and most importantly, a well-structured founding team. This minor programme in Science Entrepreneurship is to fill this gap for students.
Innovation Wing One fosters interdisciplinary innovations among undergraduate students and teachers in Engineering and Technology.

The Centre for Asian Entrepreneurship and Business Values (CASEBV) is set up in 2005 by The University of Hong Kong to promote the teaching of intellectual capital development in entrepreneurship and business values in Hong Kong, China, and the Asia-Pacific region. We are developing publications, MBA and executive courses, resource materials, and Asian business cases. We expect to launch a full website shortly.
