Mr. Zhao Guopei delivered a speech of welcome, in which he described the brilliant accomplishments of Innovalley Hengqin over the last two years. It has successfully given birth to dozens of entrepreneurial projects for Macao, which has set a good example for economic development and youth entrepreneurship in Guangdong and Macao. To mark the second anniversary of Innovalley Hengqin, it has developed the brand new project of the Entrepreneurial Education Centre, which is a cooperative production-study joint enterprise with City University of Macau. The Centre provides a great platform for youth entrepreneurship, achieving the three main objectives of “improving entrepreneurial power, exchanging entrepreneurial information”; “extending entrepreneurial policies, incubating entrepreneurial programmes”; and “creating an entrepreneurial atmosphere, establishing an educational base”.
Rector Shu Guang Zhang briefly explained that City U is a general private university in Macao, and that the FOB is the flagship faculty in City U. The FOB offers doctoral, master’s and bachelor’s degree programmes, which offer practical education. The FOB has trained numerous business talents and experts for Macao. City U maintains a close relationship with Hengqin. The establishment of the Entrepreneurial Education Centre will provide valuable fresh equipment to sustain and further invigorate the faculty’s educational development. Rector Zhang thanked all who have supported the Centre and proclaimed his great expectations for the future development of the Centre and for further cooperation between City U and Innovalley Hengqin. Both Rector Zhang and Mr. Zhao Guopei look forward to the success of the Centre, with encouragement from the authorities.
