新闻稿及香港科大故事

Have you ever struggled to catch a minibus to or from campus? It’s why a new “Finding Mini” app has been developed by HKUST alumni Jason Yuen, Simon Tsang, and current student Gash Tsui.

香港科技大学(科大)今年第八届的百万元创业大赛，将再多两个内地城市举办，令这项区域性赛事的规模，扩展至涵盖大中华区内七个城市。而科大亦将于本港的比赛中加入新元素，以提升参加者的比赛体验，促进多元化并加强公众参与度。 科大于香港站的赛事，今年获得信和集团的慷慨支持，易名为「香港科技大学—信和百万元创业大赛2018」。

Frank has had a dream of flying from a young age, and he showed a keen interest in the research and development of unmanned helicopter technology during his time at HKUST. In 2005, he and his team participated in ABU Robocon and won third prize among teams competing from across Asia.

HKUST alums emphasize a strong team always brings better results for all. Long before he found Maxus Tech with his friends, Mark Zeng had HKUST on his radar as he was looking for a graduate program in Hong Kong.

Little did Sandra Sobanska know when she left her native Poland in 2014 to join HKUST’s Global Business undergraduate program, that within three years she could be part of a team staging anything quite like Hack Horizon.

Recent news covered Chris Ko from the class of 2017 about her vegetarian tea cafe in Tsim Sha Tsui, and how she made good use of every skill she learnt from HKUST’s EVMT program to realize her dream.

香港科技大学（科大）于五个城市举办的第七届100万元创业计划，今年共吸引了900多支由学生、初创公司及专业人士等组成的队伍参加，数目较去年增加多于一倍。 比赛于去年首度扩展至北京、广州、深圳和澳门。科大创业中心主任陈双幸教授乐见这项赛事从最初培育科大创业家的平台，逐渐发展成推动创业文化的地区性比赛，为大中华地区的年轻创业家提供一个交流创意的平台。陈教授说：「我们所见，除了比赛的规模日增，参赛者所提交的方案质素亦不断上升，市场牵引力益发广阔深入。今年我们所得到业界的支持和赞助，亦属历届之冠。」

末期肾衰竭使身体陷于衰弱状况，当肾脏停止运作时，病人唯有接受血液透析治疗（俗称「洗肾」），过程不仅为身体带来严重副作用，而且费用高昂，不是人人负担得来。但这一切即将改变，科大生团队研发出崭新的血液净化替代方案，利用「石墨烯」以减少透析治疗所需的时间和成本，更提高治疗成效。 团队的构思虽未经验证但其理念简单。一般透析治疗会把血液中所有物质都过滤掉，但若利用表面经修整过的石墨烯，就只会截取目标杂质，重要的盐份和萄葡糖得以保留，因此能提高病人的预期存活率，亦可大大缩短了治疗时间。
