Every company, every institution and most people want to be more innovative and entrepreneurial, but how? Are we sufficiently innovative ourselves and if not, why not? How can we cultivate, foster and sustain our “innovative DNA and energy”, and build an innovatively-minded community among us? What role can the alumni community of HKU play in driving this forward within the HKUAA community and beyond?
