The Review 2017

A CULTURE CHANGE The growing spotlight on achieving impact through academic activities has inspired the University to encourage knowledge exchange (KE) activities. Platforms and partnerships are being formed, and a culture of entrepreneurship is being promoted among staff, students and alumni. The focus is on supporting technological innovation, as well as applying research to inform public policy, improve health and education, and other outcomes that benefit society. These activities continued to snowball in 2016 – 17. KNOWLEDGE EXCHANGE AND TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER HKU aims to foster entrepreneurship with innovation such as i Dendron, a new co-working space for students and young alumni looking to develop ideas for start-ups. 30 | 31
