"Working here within the Hong Kong Science Park has influenced my career because it's really put me into a real world space where I could see what working through a small-scale startup can really end up being in the future."
Students from UoN, Australia
"I think it was a really meaningful experience because it was the first time that I went to the Hong Kong sitar and we were greeted with the experiential Learning Center, which really made me understand more about how Hong Kong, especially in the technological field, has progressed."
Students from SMU-X
"The projects provided are very interesting, and the person in charge of the company is willing to exchange and share experiences."
Students from HKU
"Thank you Science Park giving me this opportunity working with university students. And that is such a great experience for us like helping us to understand more about Australia market, helping us to plan how to expand our overseas market in Australian Australia next year."

"Through such partnerships, students develop a realistic sense of workplace requirements which helps guide their learning and development. Companies, in turn, get exposure to emerging talent that they can potentially recruit. By bridging the divide between academic and industry, university-company collaborations create a virtuous cycle of insight and opportunity. Students enter the workforce better prepared, and companies gain access to capable, motivated new hires."
