About the UIF Asia Meet-Up (Hong Kong)

The 1st University Innovation Fellows (UIF) Asia Meet-Up (Hong Kong) aims to foster innovation and entrepreneurship among fellows across Asia Pacific Regions. It is designed to:

  • Inspire: Engage UIF with thought-provoking sessions and keynote speeches from Hong Kong’s industry leaders, innovators, and entrepreneurs.

  • Connect: Create a platform for networking, collaboration, and the exchange of ideas. Also, connect with Hong Kong’s local community, such as Google Hong Kong and Hong Kong Science and Technology Park Corporation.

The theme of "Unboxing Social Enter-Pedia" allows fellows to explore Hong Kong's social enterprise industry. By adopting design innovation and problem-solving methods, they will discover innovative solutions to tackle global challenges, using Hong Kong as a model for best practices.
