HKMU-HUGS Joint Symposium 2024 – Event Highlights

Hong Kong Metropolitan University and Heilbronn University Graduate School jointly organised a symposium on 6 December 2024. This impactful event brought together global thought leaders, policymakers, academics, and industry experts to explore the theme: “Impactful Innovation and New Venture Creation: The Role of Government, Industry, and Universities”.

We were honored to have the presence of Professor Frederick Ma, GBS, JP, Chairman of FWD Group and Former Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development of HKSAR, and Professor Dr Ralf Dillerup, Dean of Heilbronn University Graduate School, as keynote speakers.

The symposium's panel discussions were equally engaging, with experts exploring the role of universities in nurturing responsible entrepreneurs and innovators, as well as the power of collaboration between government, industry, and academia in fueling economic growth. The symposium concluded with meaningful exchanges and actionable insights on fostering innovation, entrepreneurship, and collaboration among key stakeholders.
