“Making breakthroughs in tradition and through innovation” is the best way to describe the work of HKBU in Chinese medicine. The University has dedicated itself to promoting the standardisation, modernisation and scientific development of Chinese medicine in order to advance it into the international arena. Apart from nurturing drug discovery talents who can integrate traditional Chinese medicine and modern technology, the University makes full use of cutting-edge technologies to conduct innovative research in Chinese medicine. The results have been impressive, making a significant contribution to human well-being.

The HKBU Golf Day is one of the University’s most significant fundraising events. First held in 2004, the Golf Day has been blessed with the support of a broad range of the community. Not only does the occasion raise funds for the University’s development, it also offers an excellent opportunity for donors, friends and alumni of HKBU to meet with its staff and students and learn more about the University’s development while enjoying playing golf in the autumn breezes. As the Golf Day celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2023, we would like to express our deepest gratitude to all the long-standing supporters who have made this event such a success.

Mainland China has seen dramatic economic development in recent years and is now universally recognised as possessing world-class infrastructure and an impressive array of innovative technologies. I very much encourage young people to go personally to the Mainland to join exchange programmes and internships so that they can witness for themselves the profound developments and impressive changes that the Nation has undergone. They can also benefit from learning about the Mainland’s workplace culture as well as the economic and social transformation that is now fully in place. The HKBU Foundation will continue to provide opportunities for all students to engage in service learning on the Mainland, the goal being to enable them to be at the forefront of those seizing the opportunities available and thereby gaining for themselves a competitive edge.

With the rapid development of technology and the resulting fast-moving changes in market demand, we need to cultivate more talents who are capable of creating new value. To drive advancements in research and development, collaborations among government, industry, academia and the research sector have the potential to foster greater synergy. These help to transform the outputs of research into viable commercial products, making a positive impact on individuals and communities, and improving general living standards.

Alumni are a vital asset of HKBU. Their successes define the University. With alumni networks scattered across the globe, our 148,000 graduates are a strong testimonial of our education ethos as well as serving as ambassadors, making our unique values known across the world. At home, they provide immense support to our students by providing scholarship, mentorship and internship opportunities. Their support is crucial to our future development. Therefore we shall strive to further strengthen the bonds between the alumni and their alma mater and engage them fully in the advancement of the University.

In line with the Government’s drive to develop Hong Kong into an East-meets-West centre for international cultural exchange, HKBU strives to excel in the development of art-tech and the promotion of arts and culture. Adopting an interdisciplinary approach, the University has made significant achievements in the transformation of arts and culture, leading to novel experiences for its audiences. For example, the University’s Future Cinema Systems project brings us unprecedented cinematic experiences, while the AI-powered BuVatar represents a big leap forward in AI movie generation solutions. The Young Entrepreneur Committee of the HKBU Foundation will continue to support the University in conducting pioneering art-tech research.

As we see the stronger ties developing between the Greater Bay Area (GBA) and Hong Kong, the launch of the Extended Study Programme in the GBA is undoubtedly timely. It enables HKBU students to enrich their study at the Beijing Normal University-Hong Kong Baptist University United International College in Zhuhai, while gaining real-world experience and building connections in the GBA through internships and experiential learning activities. Gaining a deeper understanding of the latest developments and opportunities in the GBA, our students will be better equipped to contribute to the growth of the Nation.

As a publicly-funded university, HKBU has the mission to contribute to Hong Kong by nurturing future-ready talents and advancing knowledge through innovative research. Over the years, we have grown with the territory and served the community come rain or shine. During the COVID-19 pandemic, our Chinese medicine experts and scholars from the Faculty of Social Sciences have played an active role in the fight against the virus. Looking ahead, we shall continue to work closely with the Beijing Normal University-Hong Kong Baptist University United International College, our campus in the Greater Bay Area, to support the development of Hong Kong and strengthen its role in the GBA.
Ms. Christine O.W. Chow Vice-President (Administration) and Secretary, HKBU

The new campus will be instrumental in delivering the best possible student experience and further enhancing HKBU’s teaching and research excellence.
