HSUHK Greater Bay Area Innogration Hub (Innogration Hub) Inauguration Ceremony was held on 14 January 2020, followed by a MoU Signing Ceremony with WorkTech, a leading co-working space brand in Hong Kong. Supported by Hong Kong Blockchain Industry Association, the Innogration Hub aims to be the best platform that cultivates enterprises and leaders in the Greater Bay Area and drives collaborations between academia and the commercial sector in the region. The Innogration Hub also strives to assist young entrepreneurs to seize opportunities in the innovation industries in Greater Bay Area and start their businesses.

“The goal of Innogration Hub is to position Hong Kong as an international innovation and technology hub. This cannot be achieved by the government alone. I look forward to working more closely with different platforms, like HSUHK and WorkTech, and hopefully together we can build an even greater ecosystem.” said Dr Bernard Chan, JP, Under Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development, who attended the Ceremony as the Guest of Honour.

President Simon S M Ho stated in his speech that HSUHK was always eager to strengthen partnership with different organisations. The Innogration Hub was the first platform which combined humanities, technology and commerce, providing resources, workspaces and business network for HSUHK students and young entrepreneurs. He expected the Innogration Hub would connect with other tertiary institutions in the future.

In this partnership, the Innogration Hub will receive support from WorkTech in terms of business networking and resources such as workspaces, internship opportunities, and finance and investment support, in order to help start-ups grow into a size that can operate independently. HSUHK expects the Innogration Hub will become world’s first-class business incubation centre and exchange platform for entrepreneurs and leaders.
