To support and encourage HKUST women entrepreneurs, the HKUST Entrepreneurship Center proudly hosted the International Women Entrepreneurship Day Giveaway & Sharing yesterday, celebrating the achievements of female entrepreneurs and inspiring the next generation of innovators. Held outside Sci Home, the event attracted over 350 students, providing them with a valuable opportunity to engage with successful women entrepreneurs and explore their business ventures.

The event featured an inspiring Women Entrepreneurs Exhibition, highlighting 10 pioneering female founders and their businesses. Five HKUST female founders were invited to network with students, share their entrepreneurial journeys, and exchange insights on their experiences in the startup world.

From plant-based canned coffee, art education tools, immersive theatre, innovative urban water pipeline systems, nucleic-acid self-testing diagnostics, eye wellness platforms, pet care solutions, secondhand marketplaces, personal entertainment concierge services, and mental wellness solutions, these young women are leveraging innovation to make a real impact in our daily lives.

Adding to the excitement, an Exclusive Giveaway rewarded lucky participants with special prizes, making the celebration even more memorable.
