The HKUST Entrepreneurship Fund (“E-Fund” https://e-fund.hkust.edu.hk/) is a HK$50 million fund committed by HKUST and managed by the Technology Transfer Center (TTC) to invest in HKUST startups, strengthen the promotion of entrepreneurial spirit and facilitate knowledge transfer. Till the end of 2021, E-Fund has invested in eight startups, established partnerships with 17 Co-Investment Partners and organized a number of workshops and training events for our students, alumni, faculty members, and start-ups.

To demonstrate how E-Fund portfolio companies continue to grow and develop after investment from HKUST, TTC held an E-Fund Portfolio Showcase on Dec. 3, 2021. This was a successful event with over 120 offline and online participants, and the eight startup teams pitched their remarkable innovations in areas of technology including AI & data analytics, biomedical & health technology, blockchain, climatech, semiconductors, and 3D printing.

Take a look at the event photos and companies pitching videos, and be sure to stay tuned with us for more events in the future and get to know more HKUST start-ups and entrepreneurs.
