A Global Learning Experience in the Heart of Paris!

A Global Learning Experience in the Heart of Paris!

Our Master’s students recently completed the Paris Entrepreneurial delegation organized by the HKU TLV Innovation Hub. It was a week that combined innovation, entrepreneurship and cultural immersion in one of Europe’s most dynamic tech ecosystems.

Students took part in expert led sessions on EU monetary policy and on the geopolitical landscape of France and Europe. They also joined a hands on Product Management and Design Thinking workshop that equipped them with practical tools used by leading tech and innovation teams.

One of the main highlights was Sprint Day where students worked in teams to solve a real business challenge presented by a Paris based company and pitched their solutions to a professional panel.

Throughout the week the group visited local companies including Paname Brewing and BETC which is Europe’s largest creative agency offering students a deeper understanding of branding, innovation and creative strategy.

Cultural experiences enriched the program with guided tours of the Louvre and Palais Garnier a group visit to the Eiffel Tower and a French cooking workshop that provided an authentic taste of Parisian culture.

The trip concluded with a group dinner celebrating a meaningful week of learning collaboration and new perspectives.
