CEE welcomed a group of 20 enthusiastic university students and young innovators as part of the Future Ecopreneur Programme, co-organized by Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation (HKSTP) and Wofoo Social Enterprises, on 14 March 2025 (Friday).
The programme is designed to foster innovation and entrepreneurship within the Green Technology and Sustainable Development in Hong Kong. Through a series of training and activities, the programme tends to empower a community of young changemakers who innovate and drive collective impacts on sustainability, and combating climate change.
As one of the integral parts of the bootcamp, participants had the opportunity to visit our Air Pollution Laboratory and Water and Waste Laboratory. Guided by Prof. Hai Guo, Professor of CEE, students were introduced to advanced lab facilities and technologies aimed at mitigating air quality challenges and promoting sustainable development. Whilst the visit to Water and Waste Laboratory provided the participants with a comprehensive overview of sewage treatment processes, emphasizing the significance of these procedures in protecting human health and the environment.
The insights gained from the visit empowered the participants with practical knowledge and a deeper understanding of how engineering solutions can lead to significant environmental impacts. CEE is dedicated to nurturing the next generation of changemakers and encouraging them to pursue careers that contribute to a sustainable future. Together, with initiatives like the Future Ecopreneur Programme, we can cultivate a vision of innovation and responsibility towards our planet.
