HKU Business School is thrilled to announce the establishment of our 2nd international alumni network, in the Middle East. Alongside current full-time MBA students and local business leaders, our Inaugural Executive Committee and other fellow alumni celebrated this momentous occasion together at The Palace Downtown Dubai.

Congratulations to our students for winning the Champion and Best Presenter in the Alvarez & Marsal Hong Kong Business Case Competition 2024! The competition, organised by Alvarez & Marsal, aims to provide students with an opportunity to apply their business knowledge and skills to real-world challenges. The theme of the competition is “Embracing Digital Compliance: Navigating the Dynamic Tax Landscape”. The competition consisted of two rounds. In Round One, teams submitted a detailed proposal on their strategy, and the Top 5 teams advanced to the Final Round where they presented their solutions at the Alvarez & Marsal Hong Kong Office. From over 100 participating teams, our student team stood out by articulating innovative strategies while addressing the challenges of the tax industry in an increasingly digitalising economy. Congratulations again to our Champions.

Deloitte Tax Championship is an annual competition for students to showcase their skills and knowledge in China and International Taxation. This year, the competition featured two tracks - Team Track and Individual Track, and three rounds: Preliminary Round, Semi-final Round, and National Finals. Students from Individual Track who advanced to the National Final were matched into a new team with four students from the Team Track. Participants tackled real-world cases focusing on emerging trends like digital tax, carbon tax, AI-technology, and ESG-related issues.
