Our Nation has not only strongly supported Hong Kong, but has also placed its full confidence in PolyU, bringing us opportunities to contribute to the development of Hong Kong and the Nation by capitalising on the University’s excellence in education and scientific research. We are truly grateful for this recognition and will continue to follow our motto ‘To learn and to apply, for the benefit of mankind’, contributing to Hong Kong’s development into an international innovation and technology (I&T) hub and the city’s integration into the national growth strategy by leveraging PolyU’s strength in I&T.”

The University has been working relentlessly to contribute to the development of Hong Kong, our Nation and the world by meeting societal needs through the nurturing of numerous talented leaders as well as innovative research. All of us at PolyU will join hands to grow and progress together with Hong Kong.”
