Has Hong Kong the capacity to innovate? Does Hong Kong have the necessary resources and supporting environment for innovations in technology for the future? Hong Kong has been renowned for its success as a world financial hub. But how long this advantage can last without capturing the digital transformation of 21st Century? While many people think doing technology innovation in Hong Kong is a waste of time and cash-burning, Mr. Jimmy Tao has spent over a decade of his time in operating, investing and leading technology startups. He has proven successes in his ventures. His first-person experience in turning around businesses with innovations must be great assets for us to learn. |

Unarguably, 2020 marked the most challenging year for the world, we learnt to adapt to the new normalcy in the face of the COVID-19. All industries had to transform themselves with the use of the technologies to minimize the impact of isolation and distancing. Education around the world has been deeply affected as most face-to-face classes were suspended. Online teaching and learning have been accelerated and practiced with no notice time. While we are all hoping for the vaccine for the pandemic infection, the world was overshadowed by the global trade competition. The race of technological development has never been so fierce ever. It is our pleasure to have Mr. Joseph Ngai, the Senior Partner of McKinsey & Company, in our SEED Talk to explain and analyse the global trends, to give us insights and advices to prepare ourselves on enhancing competitiveness. |

Entrepreneurship has become a common interest among university graduates all over the world. Resources, including startup funding, coworking spaces, and training kits, have been pulled together to aid young entrepreneurs in starting up their businesses. However, in the midst of the global pandemic, the world is facing unprecedented economic challenges. Some traditional large enterprises may not adapt swiftly enough for the changes, and therefore suffer substantial loss. Some small entrepreneurial businesses can however successfully pivot to meet the new needs for services and products by abruptly switching their provisions online. In the new normalcy of business dynamics, what are the advantages of Hong Kong in supporting local entrepreneurship? Are the new/extended play fields in Belt & Road Countries still attractive to businesses? What preparations do university graduates need to ride on the new trend? |
