A ceremony was held on February 10, 2025 to mark the inauguration of the HKU-Accenture Business Consulting Programme 2024-25 – an experiential learning opportunity which allows students from HKU Business School gain industry knowledge and exposure to business consulting.

This year, we are thrilled to announce the partnership with Hong Kong Technology Venture Company Limited (HKTV) for bringing a real-life business case to this renowned business consulting programme. It offered valuable opportunity for students to apply the knowledge and skills they have acquired in a practical setting with valuable insights and guidance from industry professionals throughout the whole learning journey.

Professor Hongbin Cai, Dean of HKU Business School said, “This programme is a very unique and strategic programme that reinforce our efforts in preparing our students for the very competitive job market and future development”. He wishes the student participants having a wonderful experience throughout the programme and combining what they have learned in classrooms and from Accenture Consultants, and apply it to the real world issue that HKTV is facing.

In her keynote speech, Ms. Christina Wong, Managing Director – Accenture Strategy and Consulting, Greater China, highlighted the challenges and changes that everyone is facing in the new era. “The programme is not about teaching the solutions on what you should do. It is about learning the methodology in tackling constant changes around you”. Students are encouraged to co-create together with fellow team members, leverage the resources from Accenture coaches, and practice through the HKTV business case. “Get ready to face the challenges in the coming future.”

“Our core value is to make anything possible”, Mr. Ken Chan, Director – Business Development and Marketing, Hong Kong Technology Venture Company Limited added. He thanked HKU Business School and Accenture for engaging HKTV as case partner this year, and hoping the business exploration day and coaching session offered by HKTV allow student participants to immerse in the real business world.

Last year’s participants commented that the programme was very practical and inspiring, advising this year’s joiners to participate in class discussions proactively and gain the most out of seasoned professionals from Accenture.

We are looking forward to seeing the performance of the six student teams at the Case Competition & Closing Ceremony on March 29, 2025.
