Alumnus Mr Yau Wah-yau, founder and Managing Director of Realink Group, offers a generous donation of $30 million to PolyU in support of its long-term development. The substantial donation from Mr Yau, together with the matching grant from the Government, is expected to bring $60 million additional funding to PolyU.

Mr Yau says that he is impressed by President Professor Timothy Tong’s enthusiasm in education, and his donation is a “vote of confidence” to Professor Tong and to PolyU.

Mr Yau graduated from the Department of Electronic Engineering of the then Hong Kong Polytechnic in 1983 and received the Young Industrialist Award of Hong Kong in 1998. While heavily engaged with his business, Mr Yau shows great care for the community and set up the Yau Wah Yau Charitable Foundation Limited in 1999 to support various charitable activities. Details>>
