Community support has long underpinned HKUST and the Business School’s mission to excel in research and education. In recognition of the Choi family’s generous donation, a teaching laboratory in the Lee Shau Kee Business Building has been named the Choi Hin To FinTech Laboratory (蔡衍濤金融科技研習室).
This dedication honors the late Mr. CHOI Hin To, founder of Hong Kong Garment Mfg. Co., Ltd., and a respected Chiu Chow leader whose vision advanced the garment industry, fostered his hometown’s development, and contributed to Hong Kong’s prosperity.
Carrying forward their father’s benevolent legacy, his sons—Dr. CHOI Siu Wai, William, Mr. CHOI Shiu Sum, Philip, and Mr. CHOI Siu Chow, Tony have generously supported the School. HKUST President Prof. Nancy IP highlighted that, as HKUST celebrates its 35th anniversary, the generous support of William, Philip, and Tony has infused fresh momentum into the University’s continued advancement. Dr. Choi Siu Wai, William shared that he hoped the new lab would serve as a starting point for students to embark on new journeys of learning, while continuing his father’s lifelong commitment to education.
