Message from Dean Anseel

There is no better place to study business today than in a STEM university.

HKUST Business School’s remarkable journey is a powerful testament to vision, ambition, and excellence. In just 35 years, our School has built a globally recognized reputation and was among the first in Asia to commit to world-class research. I am deeply grateful to the leaders of the past whose foresight and dedication laid the strong foundation on which we continue to build.

Guided by the legacy of those who came before us, we approach the future with the same first-day mentality: always curious, ambitious, and relentlessly driven to excel. In a world of constant change, that mindset is not a slogan; it is a genuine and tangible commitment, enabling us to respond with confidence to today’s rapid technological and economic shifts.

Located in one of the world’s most important financial centers, HKUST Business School is uniquely positioned to address evolving economic, societal and technological priorities. Our international outlook not only allows us to interpret change but to actively shape it.

At this critical juncture of technological transformation, HKUST’s excellence in science and technology gives us a clear comparative advantage. As a business school within a STEM university, we equip students and industry with new insights and innovations to rethink business models, markets and leadership.

I am honored to be part of this outstanding community. Together, we will build on our foundations to spearhead intellectual leadership, strengthen meaningful partnerships with industry and society, and prepare our graduates for impactful careers in an AI-driven world and beyond. I look forward to collaborating with all members of our community to explore new possibilities.
