Thanks to the generosity of partners and friends, our School is able to take advantage of opportunities as they arise and make our ongoing initiatives possible in nurturing the next generation of business leaders.
In Support for Entrepreneurship
Entrepreneurship is an integral part of our education framework. Our School is extremely grateful to the generosity of Dominic LAI, Group Managing Director, A.S. Watson Group. He has made a meaningful donation to support student initiatives and learning activities in entrepreneurship.

Professor Albert Ip Roof Garden
With a generous donation from Prof Albert Ip, the rooftop of our Lee Shau Kee Business School Building has been named Professor Albert Ip Roof Garden. A naming party marked the opening of this named facility, which is ideally located for student and faculty activities. We are thankful to Professor Ip for not only the donation, but also his long-standing support for HKUST, including as a member of the University Court and our School Advisory Council.

Opportunities to Engage with Social Innovators
Since 2013, our School has offered the Social Entrepreneurship & Venture Philanthropy (SEVP) Course that allows students to engage with and learn from real-life social innovators. With the sponsorship from The Yeh Family Foundation, our students are able to win a grant for a social enterprise after each course. The ongoing support from the Foundation enables us to further our effort in fostering a culture of entrepreneurship on campus and beyond.
