The Swire Group has launched the “Hong Kong Young Technology and Innovation Talent” programme, which aims to encourage undergraduate students from Hong Kong to study science and technology at Chinese Mainland universities. The programme is designed to facilitate knowledge-sharing and the development of sci-tech innovation. From 2023-2025, the programme will admit 100 Hong Kong students who already have an offer from a Chinese Mainland university to study a science or engineering subject at undergraduate level. Successful candidates will be given a cash grant of HK$40,000 per year to cover tuition fees and living expenses. They will participate in research and study tours, including visiting key scientific research centres and sci-tech innovation enterprises, and will have the opportunity to engage with renowned scientists, entrepreneurs, and researchers. The programme will also provide subsidised summer internship opportunities for students.
