Business Lab Incubation Program
The Business Lab focuses on understanding relevant entrepreneurial & business theory whilst applying it in practice. Throughout the program, a combination of themed‐based interactive lectures, discussion of real-life examples and ongoing presentations of group projects will be the core of the learning activities for this program. Slides, start‐up pitch videos, innovation case studies and experts’ presentations will be critical to not only provide useful and applicable insights but also to promote constructive discussions.
Entrepreneurs, investors and business people with sector‐specific experience bring a real‐ world perspective; guest speakers act as a “reality check” and as a source of potential networking opportunities whilst leading topic‐specific sessions and offering generous amount of time for questions and answers.
For 9 consecutive years, the Business Lab incubation program was hosted at the MBA Business School at Hong Kong University, ranked No.1 in Asia by The Economist for the 9 Consecutive Years.
