HKU Business School Innovation and Entrepreneurship Forum

HKU Business School Innovation and Entrepreneurship Forum

During times of economic uncertainty, what can you do to make your startup stand out in a crowd of competitors so that you can secure funding from investors?

On Saturday, October 10, 2020, more than 20 alumni entrepreneurs from various industries and business backgrounds attended the HKU Business School Innovation and Entrepreneurship Forum to discuss how startup founders can leverage investors to scale up their business and unlock success.
Mr. Vincent Chan, Senior Managing Director and Head of Asia of Samena Capital and Mr. K.O. Chia, Director of Grace Financial were invited to share their insights on how to venture on a journey to being an effective entrepreneur, and hopefully the founder of the next unicorn.

They both emphasized that one of the critical success factors is people. Mr. Chan suggested that it is important to build a strong team who trust each other, and love working together as investors will not only consider your product, but also the structure and dynamics of your team. Mr. Chia also pointed out that the success of startup lies in its ability to uphold the core of your business and leverage on technology.

At the forum, alumni treasured the opportunity to network with speakers. Ms. Yina Chan (BBA (Acc&Fin) 2015), Co-Founder of Bamboo Network, learned that the true growth of a startup comes from within the team who is able to collaboratively turn a great idea into a profitable business, whereas the exponential growth comes from investors who usually look beyond monetary terms, such as the quality of the founding team and customer-engagement model. Mr. Harris Cheng (BEcon&Fin 2017), Co-Founder and CEO of Freehunter was thrilled to reconnect with Mr. K.O. Chia, who inspired him to pursue his startup dream when he was a year-3 student struggling with his career path.

We believe Hong Kong people have what it takes to become an entrepreneur and innovator – resilience, industriousness and discipline. To realise these potentials, HKU Business School is developing an entrepreneurial ecosystem that helps support our students and alumni and fuel our economic growth.

港大经管学院最新多模态AI图像生成能力排名出炉 部份中国人工智能模型表现突出
港大经管学院今日发表《人工智能模型图像生成能力综合评测报告》,针对15个“文生图模型”及7个“多模态大语言模型”进行全面评估。研究显示,字节跳动的即梦AI和豆包,以及百度的文心一言,在新图像生成的内容质素及图像修改的表现突出;而早前引起全球关注的DeepSeek最新推出的文生图模型Janus-Pro,则在新图像生成方面表现欠佳。研究亦发现部分文生图模型虽然在内容质素方面表现优异,却在安全与责任方面的表现强差人意。整体而言,与文生图模型相比,多模态大语言模型整体表现较佳。

人工智能图像生成评测成绩单公布: 字节跳动百度表现亮眼,DeepSeek Janus-Pro表现欠佳
如今,人工智能领域的前沿模型技术已经从文本处理拓展至视觉信息的深度理解与生成。这些模型既能精准解读图像语义,又能根据文字描述创作出兼具真实感与艺术性的视觉内容,展现出令人惊叹的跨模态理解与创作能力。本研究聚焦全新图像的生成和基于现有图像的图像修改两大核心任务,提出了一套系统性的人工智能模型图像生成能力评测框架。我们基于多维测试集的构建与专家评审,对15个专业文生图模型和7个多模态大语言模型的图像生成能力进行了全面评估。结果显示,字节跳动的即梦AI和豆包以及百度的文心一言在新图像生成的内容质量与修改任务中表现突出,位列第一梯队。对比不同类型的AI模型,我们发现,相对于专业文生图模型,多模态大语言模型整体表现更佳。
