She wishes to thank the organisers for organising this meaningful scholarship to encourage students to contribute to the InnoTech Industry. Moreover, she would like to express her heartfelt gratitude to BRE, especially to Prof. Eddie HUI and Ms Hebe HOW, for the invaluable support along the way. Receiving this scholarship has not only helped affirm her passion for engaging in the InnoTech sector, but also motivated her to strive for further improvement and excellence. Connie says, “It feels great to have received this scholarship, but in the scheme of things, it is of little importance, when compared to the mission it places upon its recipients – to promote the development of Innovation and Technology in Hong Kong. I am looking forward to collaborating with other passionate youths and leaders to build a better Hong Kong with our innovative ideas!” Connie, keep up the good work!
