Students Sharing:
“I am honoured to be selected as the champion of the FSDC Career Day 2022 “Pitch Perfect” Video Competition. As a local student myself, the topic was particularly relevant to me as there is an observable trend of the exodus of professionals and our city slipping in competitiveness rankings, with cities like Dubai and Singapore quickly catching up. Therefore, I came up with a few strategies including promoting Hong Kong as an ESG investment hub, offshore RMB centre, innovation centre and most importantly reskilling and upskilling our local workforce. The Career Day was also a precious opportunity to mingle with panelists who were also from the crypto/web3 scene in Hong Kong.”
