Entrepreneur Day Entrepreneur Day 2015 2016 2018 2017 Hello! When CUHK Entrepreneur Day, a large-scale annual event initiated by the CUHK Alumni Torch Fund, was inaugurated in 2015 , its aim was to allow CUHK alumni, staff and students to showcase their innovative ideas and products through exhibitions, talks and seminars, as well as the tradition of CUHK alumni to care for each other across generations. In 2016 , the range of exhibitors expanded to include social and cultural enterprises. With an emphasis on global entrepreneurial opportunities, the event invited business owners from the US, mainland China and other regions of Asia to speak at seminars and sharing sessions. In 2017 , the event moved up another notch. It launched its very first ‘CUHK Entrepreneurship Competition’ in which the winning teams had a chance to sign a Memorandum of Understanding with alumni investors. In its fourth year, the event, held from 11 to 12 May 2018 , was an even bigger occasion. Two keynote speeches on popular topics were delivered: one by CUHK Vice-Chancellor Prof. Rocky S. Tuan on ‘The Development of Biomedical Engineering in Hong Kong’ and the other by alumnus Dr. Xu Li , CEO of SenseTime, on ‘The Development of AI: Its Visible Future’. A new element, the ‘Innovation Demo Area’, was introduced, where creative applications of new technology in facial recognition, mobile payment, AR/VR, medical devices, and mobile apps and games were showcased to visitors.
