The inaugural HKUST Founders' Club Fellow Dinner was a phenomenal success, drawing together approximately 40 fellows—including HKUST faculty and alumni founders—from diverse fields. We were deeply appreciative of the positive dynamics and the strong bonds that were formed during the delightful evening. The atmosphere was filled with vibrant conversations and hearty laughter.

 

Prof. Tim Cheng, HKUST Vice-President for Research and Development, delivered the opening remarks. He emphasized the crucial role of the HKUST Founders' Club in uniting individuals and expressed confidence in the fellows as masterminds to our future endeavours.

 

Dr. Shin Cheul Kim, Associate Vice-President for Research and Development (Knowledge Transfer), alongside Prof. Carrie Ling, Director of the Entrepreneurship Center, outlined HKUST's dedication to fostering impact through innovation and entrepreneurial initiatives. They also discussed the envisioned trajectory for the Founders' Club.

 

Fellows like Terry Tsang, co-founder of Madhead, Hardy Liu, co-founder of Apoidea, Prof. Fei Sun, Associate Professor in the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering, and Dr. Moez Louati, Research Associate Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, contributed insightful perspectives on maximizing the Founders' Club's influence.

 

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to our alumni and faculty members for being part of our proud and vibrant HKUST startup community. Their presence and participation have made this special event truly unforgettable. We look forward to connecting with our HKUST founders more and exploring new ways of collaboration and value creation together.
