ITC students will be participating in the prestigious Future Retail Challenge student competition which will be held in October 2020 in Rome, Italy. The team will receive sponsorship and professional advice from Li & Fung. The competition has become a popular component of the World Retail Congress, which seeks to promote future talents in the retail industry across the world and help talented students by allowing them to come together to facilitate new ways of thinking and generate new ideas.

This year's challenge is called “Project Retail Phoenix: Making a Retailer Relevant Again” which involves the development of a survival plan and strategies for a local store in distress or facing serious competition.

The panel of judges of the second audition included a guest judge - Mr Richard Lee, Senior Vice-President of Li & Fung, and ITC academic supervisors - Dr Eunsoo Baek, Dr Sun Young Choi and Dr Chris Lo. A total of 11 students participated in the first audition, and six were shortlisted for the second audition. Among them, the panel selected four students to represent PolyU as the competing team in the Future Retail Challenge. The team consists of Rachel Leung, Jenny Ching-yee Choi, Jessica Wan-hei Tsang and Sammi Wong.  Congratulations and good luck!
