Jackson YIP
CEO & Co-Founder, EC Innovation Limited
The first programs that I participated in HKUST EC were the Entrepreneurship Acceleration Fund and MentorHub back in 2020 when I was still a year2 student. That was my first entrepreneurship experience which didn’t result in success but I learnt a lot in the process. After that, I participated and organized various volunteering services for different communities in the society at HKUST Connect, which I inspired a lot of peers besides me to do something meaningful together in the process. After that, I thought I was ready to make greater social impact and at the same time, I received an email from HKUST Entrepreneurship Center on the opportunity of InnoX Summer Camp 2022. It was an unforgettable journey which our team went from zero to one to build the first generation prototype of EC Flow System within the six-week summer camp. After the camp, thanks to the trust from every teammate and others involved in the project, I became the CEO of EC Innovation Limited which was founded in Nov 2022. Till today, I involved those close peers who grew together with me in the University journey to serve important roles in EC Innovation and BrainChamp, this makes me happy as I finally get the chance to offer opportunities to those who helped me along the journey, and with the collaborative efforts, I feel confident to realize every dream ahead.
