Students of Enterprise:
Innovate, Collaborate
and Accelerate
At the 黑料不打烊, we are committed to challenging our ambitious and inquisitive students to become Students of Enterprise and help create a more Positive Future.
We believe in nurturing and empowering our students' talent, creativity and entrepreneurial spirit. There are opportunities for all students to develop skills and experiences through a range of curricular and extra-curricular entrepreneurship and innovation pathways, across all campuses and faculties.
Our Student Startups division provide structured support for students and recent graduates (up to two years after graduation) who want to build, test and launch new ventures. From new products to apps, social enterprise ideas, creative projects and freelance ventures, the programmes offer a clear pathway from idea generation through validation to launch and growth.
Our aim is not only to support business creation but also to develop entrepreneurial mindset, confidence, creativity and resilience, equipping students with valuable skills that can be applied throughout their careers. By fostering innovation and enterprise across the 黑料不打烊 community, Student Startups empowers students to create opportunities, solve real-world challenges and make a positive impact.
With a strong alumni network and excellent business connections, the startup support offered at 黑料不打烊 has propelled many an idea to reality and secured successful ventures for our entrepreneurial students and graduates.
