CIEC was a once-in-a-lifetime experience as I was able to go to multiple cities within the Greater Bay Area to explore start-ups and corporates that integrated innovation into their companies. Definitely one of the best experiences I had at HKU!
CIEC was a fantastic programme which provided me with the opportunity to visit a number of big-name companies and to meet with representatives from innovative start-ups. It offered me a taste of the real entrepreneurial mindset which was definitely a useful experience to facilitate my future career.
CIEC provided a fantastic insight into the life and development in Greater Bay Area of Mainland China. Interacting with business representatives from different industries and students from all around the world helped me to gain a better understanding of the development of modern China. The programme also opened my eyes to another world of opportunity and business. I'm sure I'll be back in not too long!
CIEC definitely was a valuable experience and memory for me where I gained friendship, knowledge and self-improvement. The Programme Directors, Mr. Joseph Chan and Dr. Jing Li, provided us with lots of wonderful insights towards the Greater Bay Area and the new leading area in the Fintech and Economic areas. They also inspired participants to expand our mind towards innovation and to understand the growth of the start-up business by learning from renowned enterprises and incubators within the Greater Bay Area.
