New Century Elite Development Programme 2023

The New Century Elite Development Programme 2023 hosted by the Kowloon Chamber of Commerce. The competition aimed to empower and connect future business leaders and facilitate networking opportunities for students in mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau. The final competition brought together students from prestigious institutions such as Cambridge, Imperial College London, CUHK GBUS, HKUST, and HKU.

This year, the competition topic is: The global expansion strategy and plan for Cosway from 2023 to 2033 – how to leverage social digitalization on the modernization of business expansion and networking.

The competition consisted of two rounds, where teams presented their ideas to a panel of judges, including the CEO of Cosway, and answered their questions. From the preliminary round, the top 10 teams were selected and then reconfigured through a lucky draw, resulting in the original HKU team being disbanded and reassigned to new teams with other participants for the final competition held in Malaysia.

Double the impact: Two parallel masters’ delegations discover Paris & Barcelona!
Earlier this month, the HKU-TLV Innovation Hub successfully led two simultaneous international field trips for Masters’ students —one in Paris and the other in Barcelona. Across both cities, students took part in a rich and immersive academic experience that combined company visits, interactive workshops, and cultural exploration. They engaged with local startups and industry leaders, attended expert-led lectures on geopolitics, EU monetary & economic policy, and explored the local business ecosystems from multiple angles. A major highlight was the Product Management workshop, which focused on one of today’s most in-demand skill sets. Following the workshop, students participated in an exciting Sprint Day, where they applied their earned skills to solve real-world business challenges and deliver impactful, hands-on solutions for French company Le Cordon Bleu & Spanish startup Emotional Hub.
