Pitch your innovative ideas 2023
Innovation Academy held “Pitch your innovative ideas 2023” on March 8, 2023 at Tam Wing Fan Innovation Wing, The University of Hong Kong.
This contest allowed Engineering undergraduates, taught postgraduates and InnoHub members to present their project ideas and recruit prospective teammates. The process helped to improve students’ ability to effectively advocate an idea or proposal to a large group of audience. It also provided an opportunity and flexibility for students to form their own team and grow their community of interest and passion.
