GBA innovation and entrepreneurship training camp launched at SZIIT

The Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Innovation and Entrepreneurship Elite Training Camp, part of the Ministry of Education's exchange program for the mainland, Hong Kong and Macao university students, was officially launched at the Shenzhen Institute of Information Technology (SZIIT) on Thursday last week. 

This event brought together nearly a hundred participants, including teachers and students from 11 renowned universities, such as the University of Hong Kong, Chinese University of Hong Kong, and University of Macao, as well as corporate leaders such as Ludovic Krundel, CEO of Omate, and Wang Haiquan, general manager of Zhengxuan Capital. 

As one of the key projects under the Ministry of Education's exchange program, the Greater Bay Area (GBA) innovation and entrepreneurship training camp has received continuous support from the ministry since its launch in 2019, attracting more than 600 elite students from Shenzhen, Hong Kong, and Macao.

This project not only serves as a bridge for friendship and cooperation among young students from Shenzhen, Hong Kong and Macao, but also provides a platform for them to showcase their talents and challenge themselves. 

Its outstanding results and far-reaching impact have garnered widespread acclaim, earning it recognition as an excellent project for the exchange of faculty and students between Shenzhen, Hong Kong and Macao higher education institutions.

The training camp aims to create a high-level communication platform that promotes in-depth exchanges and integration among teachers and students from Shenzhen, Hong Kong, and Macau in areas such as scientific and technological literacy, entrepreneurial skills, and innovative thinking. The camp features practical sessions led by mentor experts from internationally renowned companies and entrepreneurial investment experiences shared by elites in the Greater Bay Area investment community, providing participants with valuable industry insights and practical guidance.

Ludovic Krundel, CEO of Omate, elaborates on cutting-edge technology trends for the participants.

The training camp innovatively integrated two special sessions to allow participants to enhance their teamwork, decision-making judgment, innovative thinking, and entrepreneurial practice skills through role-playing and simulated practical exercises in an intense and exciting environment, achieving an organic integration of theory and practice.

Participants immerse themselves in role-playing and simulated practical exercises.

SZIIT also arranged multiple activities during the two-day event, offering participants a chance to gain insights into its open and inclusive campus culture, forward-looking innovation and entrepreneurship education philosophy.

A similar training camp was inaugurated at Shenzhen University two days before the launch of SZIIT’s camp, drawing 92 teachers and students from 10 universities, including the University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Macao University of Science and Technology, Macao Polytechnic University, Shenzhen University.
