InnoX Winter Camp Projects Exhibition – Healthy Ageing

HKU (Business School + Faculty of Engineering, plus iDendron and Sau Po Centre of Ageing) has co-organized with HKUST and Science Park a 3 weeks programme InnoX Winter Camp (3Jan-22Jan 2022), supported by HKX and Sequoia. The intensive bootcamp saw the 32 young entrepreneurs from 3 universities, HKU, HKUST & PolyU, through a human-centered and agile product design journey.

This innovation and entrepreneurship program is to demonstrate the global-vision and the make-it-happen mindset of the dedicated students working together towards an inclusive society. In supporting the students' ambition, the camp design included tours, guest speakers, advising sessions, pitching opportunities. From design thinking (developing deep insights into market and customers’ needs), to engineering design (systematically applying enabling technology), to systems thinking (building commercially viable product concepts while creating values to the customers), the program was condensed and comprehensive. The 6 multidisciplinary teams (business, engineering and design) have risen to the challenge of finding real-world problems, ideating creative solutions and prototyping innovative products in the thematic focus of healthy ageing. Students could earn potential intern opportunities at InnoHK centers at HKSTP, and top teams could secure seed funding from HKXTech.

We are pleased to be able to showcase the design and the prototypes in HKU Main Library and share our journey with you. Thank you.
