TEDxCivic Exchange Countdown- "Emerging Ideas Worth Spreading - A Series with Youth-powered Climate Solutions"

Green innovation can not only pave the way for the private sector's transition to a low-carbon business model, but it can also become a viable opportunity for young people to lead the way for a clean and just transition for HK!

Co-organized by Civic Exchange (思匯政策研究所) and HKUST Entrepreneurship Center (EC), this series will showcase emerging, innovative ideas from Hong Kong youth. On 19 October, Donny Siu, Acting Director of HKUST EC, will kick off this series by sharing about the potentials for sustainability powered by entrepreneurship.
