Hong Kong is always a hot choice for international entrepreneurs to settle, but it has recently become an incubation centre for numerous successful start-ups. The scheme “Unicorns HK 2021”, which was announced by the Hong Kong x Foundation for Innovation and Technology gives prominence to start-ups that can promote Hong Kong as a city.

On the list, there are seven unicorns from the HKUST, and 5 of them were overseen by Professor Li Zexiang, also known as the “Godfather of Hidden Entrepreneurship in China”. Professor Li has set up an academic entrepreneurial group with HKUST students, motivated his students to start their businesses, assisted them in seeking funding, and provided technical aid for their start-ups. By combining the undoubted manufacturing power in the Greater Bay Area, he consistently incubated and invested in his own students’ high-tech start-ups, like the participation in the establishment of Da-Jiang Innovations, GOOGOLTECH, etc.
