HKU Business School is making waves with the launch of its new alumni networks across the globe, strengthening ties and fostering collaboration among its graduates. In September 2024, the school celebrated the establishment of its North China Alumni Network at the prestigious Beijing Forum. Over 200 guests, including alumni, professors, and students, gathered at the HKU Beijing Centre for an evening of insightful discussions and networking. This milestone marks the first regional alumni network in mainland China, serving as a bridge between the school and its graduates while creating a platform for lifelong learning and mutual growth.

But the celebrations didn’t stop there! In October 2024, HKU Business School also launched its Singapore Alumni Network, led by alumnus Chris Leo. The event saw an impressive turnout with over 50 alumni and 20 from the HKU-Fudan IMBA program in Shanghai attending. Additionally, last month the school marked another historic moment with the launch of its Middle East Alumni Network in Dubai, led by EMBA alumnus Hani Tohme. Over 60 alumni celebrated this momentous occasion, highlighting the school’s commitment to building a truly global community. This network underscores the school’s growing presence in the region, bringing together alumni, MBA students, and local business leaders

These networks are more than just connections—they’re platforms for collaboration, innovation, and shared success. Whether in Beijing, Dubai, or Singapore, HKU Business School alumni are united in their mission to empower the future. For faculty members, if you would like to get involved in any events or discussions with these offshore alumni networks, please contact Christopher Chau (cjchau@hku.hk) to reach our Development & Alumni Team.
