Kickstarting 2026 with the Founders' Club Lunar New Year Dinner

February 25, 2026

The Founders' Club Lunar New Year Dinner kicked off our 2026 community calendar with a warm, high-energy evening on Wednesday. With 70+ members, fellows, and friends joining us, it was a great opportunity to reconnect, exchange venture updates, and start the year with fresh momentum.

Beyond the catch-ups and conversations, we also shared the latest updates on HKUST's entrepreneurship development, featuring two highlights:

-HKUST Shanghai Center - showcasing its world-class facilities and how it can support HKUST startups as they scale and expand.

-HKUST hosting the Hult Prize Hong Kong Summit for the first time - a major milestone that puts our community at the center of an international student entrepreneurship movement.

Most of all, the night was a reminder of what makes this ecosystem work; when founders and supporters consistently show up for one another-sharing insights, making introductions, and offering practical help-our community grows stronger, and so do the ventures within it.

Wishing everyone a Lunar New Year filled with growth, collaboration, and new opportunities. See you at the next Founders' Club gathering.
