In today’s increasingly complex geopolitical and economic climate, it is vital to transcend conventional boundaries and tackle challenges from a broader perspective. I am delighted to see HKBU embracing an ethos of innovation and actively pursuing transdisciplinary research to address the needs of our times. I firmly believe that investing in research and education is the most visionary commitment we can make. It not only brings lasting value to society and nurtures emerging industries but also serves as the driving force behind human progress. I cordially invite all sectors of society to join us in supporting HKBU. Together, we can advance pioneering and impactful initiatives, creating a brighter future for all.

Board of Governors, HKBU Foundation
Founded upon its Christian heritage, HKBU remains steadfast in its commitment to whole-person education. While pursuing academic excellence, the University places equal emphasis on nurturing students’ spirituality, virtues, and sense of social responsibility. In this diverse, ever-changing, and challenging world, these beliefs distinguish HKBU in the realm of higher education. They remind us that education is not just about imparting knowledge but also about shaping lives. I firmly believe that the HKBU Foundation will continue to support the University’s mission, with Christian values as its guiding light, inspiring the younger generation to live with integrity, act with compassion, and serve the community with dedication.

Despite the challenging global economic conditions, HKBU has continued to receive the steadfast support of generous benefactors from across the community. Over the past year, philanthropic gifts have propelled a number of initiatives, including the opening of the Jockey Club Campus of Creativity, which substantially enhances the University’s capacity for research, teaching and collaborative innovation. Looking ahead, additional resources will be essential for recruiting top scholars, advancing cutting-edge research, upgrading campus infrastructure, and enriching the student experience. We remain committed to strengthening our fundraising efforts, exercising prudent management of resources, capitalising on the Research Matching Grant Scheme, and pursuing strategic investments to establish a solid foundation for the University’s long term, sustainable development.

Entrepreneur Committee, HKBU Foundation
As economic, cultural, and academic exchanges between the Chinese Mainland and Hong Kong deepen, a diverse array of development opportunities is emerging for the younger generation. The Entrepreneur Committee of the HKBU Foundation will continue to serve as a pivotal bridge, strategically leveraging our members’ extensive networks and resources to unite business communities across both regions. Through these efforts, we provide students with enriched exchange activities, internships, and career pathways, empowering them to realise their potential and contribute to the future development of both our Nation and Hong Kong.
Dr. Stanley Yim, SBS, BBS, JP
Co-Chairman
Entrepreneur Committee, HKBU Foundation
The HKSAR Government is resolutely building the "Study in Hong Kong" brand to establish the city as an international hub for post-secondary education – a vision that HKBU actively champions. In recent years, HKBU has advanced transdisciplinary teaching and research, promoted the standardisation of Chinese medicine, and attracted world-class scholars and international students. This comprehensive enhancement of the University’s academic and research excellence is reflected in its steady rise in global rankings, demonstrating its increasingly widespread recognition. I firmly believe that HKBU will play an even greater role in the future, benefitting society and driving progress across Hong Kong, the Nation, the region, and the world.
Professor Sunny H.K. Wong
Chairman
Alumni Committee, HKBU Foundation
Over the decades, HKBU has nurtured more than 168,000 graduates who shine in a diverse array of sectors, steadily supplying society with exceptional professionals. As HKBU approaches its 70th anniversary next year, the University has curated a series of celebratory events. We cordially invite all alumni to join us in commemorating this platinum jubilee. With the steadfast support of our alumni, HKBU will continue to advance in teaching and research, recording still greater accomplishments. I sincerely hope that our alumni will uphold HKBU’s spirit of compassion and mutual support, actively give back to their alma mater, and together sustain its enduring educational mission.
Dr. Chloe Suen
Co-Chairman
Young Entrepreneur Committee, HKBU Foundation
In recent years, HKBU has introduced a range of state of-the-art facilities, actively expanded its presence in the field of art-tech, and launched a variety of innovative initiatives that exemplify its educational excellence. These efforts have injected new impetus into the local cultural and creative industries and resonate strongly with the HKSAR Government’s vision to establish Hong Kong as the East-meets-West Centre for International Cultural Exchange. The Young Entrepreneur Committee of the HKBU Foundation has always devoted itself to fostering creative talent. Moving forward, we will continue to rally support from all sectors of society, championing the University’s ongoing breakthroughs in creative fields and contributing further to the development of local arts and culture.
Mr. Ivan S.K. Wong, JP
Co-Chairman
Young Entrepreneur Committee, HKBU Foundation
The Extended Study Programme in the Greater Bay Area marks a significant step in HKBU’s pursuit of educational innovation. Through cross-regional exchange and immersive experiences, students can not only gain first-hand insights into the Nation’s dynamic development but also broaden their horizons in a multicultural environment, fostering both global perspectives and a strong sense of national identity. Now in its second year, the Programme coincides with the 20th anniversary of Beijing Normal-Hong Kong Baptist University (BNBU) in Zhuhai, symbolising the deepening and realisation of HKBU’s ‘One University, Two Campuses’ vision. The Young Entrepreneur Committee of the HKBU Foundation will continue to support the University in creating enriching and inspiring learning opportunities that enhance students’ overall competitiveness.
Ms. Christine O.W. Chow Vice-President (Administration) and Secretary, HKBU
In 2025, the Jockey Club Campus of Creativity at HKBU proudly entered full operation, marking a significant milestone in our commitment to education and innovation. This visionary project was made possible through the invaluable support of The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust and a coalition of dedicated supporters, showcasing the significant impact that collaboration can achieve.
As the city’s first integrated facility seamlessly blending teaching, research, student accommodation, and co creation spaces, the campus cultivates a vibrant and inspiring environment where students are empowered to thrive academically and creatively.
The successful launch of this campus serves as a powerful example of how a collective vision and sustained commitment can transform the educational landscape. It inspires us all to work together to create opportunities for future generations, ensuring they reach their fullest potential.
Mrs. Lily W.L. Chan
Director of University Advancement
Secretary-General of Hong Kong Baptist University Foundation
In a year of global headwinds, what we have felt most keenly is the warm and unwavering trust and support received from HKBU’s many devoted friends. Their generosity has enabled the HKBU Foundation to achieve its impressive fundraising results, and for this, we would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to all our donors. Looking forward to HKBU’s 70th anniversary in 2026, we are excited to celebrate the University’s glorious journey and envision an even brighter future together. The Foundation will remain a steadfast pillar of support for HKBU, drawing strength from all quarters to help the University advance the frontiers of knowledge, realise its strategic vision, and nurture future leaders for the betterment of society.
