Entrepreneurship Seminar Series (ESS)

The first two seminars under our ESS scheme in

semester 2 were delivered by founders of Ztore

and Lynk. This March, we turn our eyes to the

hotbed of innovation – university.

We are excited to have invited a “healthcare

entrepreneur”, who started his business when he

was a doctoral student, to speak to us.

He is our first “Studentpreneur”!

Bill Gates. Mark Zuckerberg. Larry

Page… They're the most successful

people in the world. They’re

billionaires, they're revolutionaries in

their own industries and they started

their businesses while they were still

STUDENTS.

They’re all living proof that you don’t

have to wait until after graduation to

start your own business. And, this is

the case for our 3rd ESS speaker - Jan

too.

Jan’s experiences in HK really helped

him stay persistent despite all the

challenges of being a student

entrepreneur. Consider starting your

business now? Come join us for a chat

with Jan.
