HKUST One Million Dollar Entrepreneurship Competition celebrates 25th anniversary!
Witnessing the growth of entrepreneurial activities in the region, this competition aims to provide a platform for HKUST and surrounding community members an integrative learning experience to create and evaluate new business and to prepare students to start their future career in entrepreneurship. Winners of the Competition can use the cash prize as seed money to build their own company or to further the commercialization of their inventions.
The competition was first launched in 2011 by our co-founder Prof Ali Beba when he was the director of the Entrepreneurship Center at HKUST as an initiative to encourage students to develop innovative business ideas and provide them with the necessary resources and support to transform their ideas into successful ventures. The competition quickly gained popularity and has since become a flagship event at HKUST.
This year, marks the 25th anniversary of this flagship initiative and the competition will be held in 5 different regions including Beijing, Foshan, Guangzhou, Hong Kong and Shenzhen. The winning teams from all the regionals will compete for the championship in the Grand Final.
