A total of 300 senior management representatives from a wide spectrum of industries, and close to 200 students and academics from CityU, including senior management, will attend.

 

Mr Antony Leung Kam-chung, Chief Executive Officer of the Nan Fung Group, will deliver a keynote speech of which the title is revised to “Hong Kong’s Economic Direction”.

 

Before the luncheon, three CityU students will share with the media how they have equipped themselves for the job market, discussing how one student’s surface designs for cars have been adopted by international racing teams; one formulated an award-winning innovative business proposal with her teammates for the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants Business Competition; and one has developed an Android application to control a Nao robot which can perform a series of tasks.

 

A student project exhibition, including 60 display panels and six exhibits, will be held at the same venue throughout the luncheon. It will serve as a platform for CityU students to explain their ideas and projects, as well as demonstrate their achievements, to the guests.
