Li & Fung will support four ITC students to participate in the Future Retail Challenge student competition in Rome, Italy in October 2020. The competition has become a popular component of the World Retail Congress, which promotes future talent in the retail industry worldwide.
Li & Fung has been an ardent supporter of ITC for this competition during the past 12 years. During the preparation for the competition, Li & Fung senior management members judged the auditions to select the ITC finalists. They not only provided mentorship to develop creative ideas but also resources to actualize the idea into a deliverable outcome. Students had the opportunity to visit the firm to conduct a presentation to the board members and receive feedback. In addition, Li & Fung will provide all of the financial support for students to participate in the Future Retail Challenge student competition, including registration fees, travelling expenses, and accommodations. Often they offer industry connections in the nearby cities of the event so that students and faculty can embark on an industry tour.
ITC teams have won champion five times and 1st runner-up twice in the past 12 years. ITC would like to take this opportunity to extend its sincere appreciation to Li & Fung for its ongoing support. The invaluable opportunity and mentorship have become one of the highlights of our undergraduate programs, and subsequently attracted high calibre fashion business students. ITC is sending its best wishes to the new ITC team and hope that they will be recognized for their talent and hard work in the largest conference event for retail industries.
