On 8 December 2022, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) has led a group of start-up delegation from Germany for a visit at our campus. This visit is actually a group with a start-up initiative SMILE of the International SEPT Competence Center at Leipzig University (LU). This is a program to support entrepreneurship, start-ups and spin-off companies at regional, national and international level. The purpose of the visit is to bring German start-ups to Hong Kong and so to attract those start-ups to bring their businesses to Hong Kong. PolyU is selected as one of the tour point for this visit because the group believes that PolyU is a university representing applicational researches which matches with this interest group. Other than PolyU, the group has also visited InvestHK and Hong Kong Science and Technology Park (HKSTP) for exchange.
On the day, the group was gathered for a small exchange meeting to introduce PolyU research strength and networks. They were taken to the Aviation Services Research Centre (ASRC) and University Research Facility in 3D Printing (U3DP) for some guided tours. The start-ups include technology companies that specialized in drone, green vertical farming development. They became very fascinated over PolyU’s showcase and the representative from LU would like to discuss for further collaboration with PolyU in the future for different programs their institution offered.
