In January, student participants in the finals of the Chamber's Business Case Competition presented a range of innovative solutions to real-life business challenges. But the need for innovation never stops, so we were delighted that representatives from four of the corporate sponsors of the competition were able to join us at a webinar on 30 April to discuss the topic further. 

During the event, on "Harnessing Innovation for a Brighter Future," the speakers – Nailesh Shah, Head of Digital Channels and Experience, Citibank Hong Kong; Akina Ho, Head of Digital Transformation & Innovation, The Great Eagle Company; Kelvin Chan, Head of Business Development, NEC Hong Kong; and Andrew Young, Associate Director (Innovation), Sino Group –  shared their experiences in rolling out creative and innovative initiatives, and discussed how to sustain a strong innovation culture among employees. 

Besides giving members the opportunity to hear how these large companies have successfully adopted innovative practices, we also opened this event to past participants in our Business Case Competition, to enable the students to continue to learn from corporate insights, and to reinforce the ties between the business and student communities in Hong Kong.
