“My journey in the BOCHK Challenge had been extremely rewarding. I am immensely grateful for having some of the most amazing people as my teammates, Emily, Carina, Megan and CY. Their attitudes, talents and professional skills truly inspired me. We had worked days and nights striving for perfection. Even though we were only a group of year 1 students, our hard work eventually brought us success.

We were very fortunate to have the opportunity to learn from our mentor, Garry from Alibaba Cloud. He enlightened us by sharing the latest industry trends and telling us the essence of asset management is relationship building. At the end of the day, we as humans crave to be emotionally connected. The ultimate purpose of technology in business is to establish a deep and long-lasting relationship with the customers.”
