From the Editor
In this issue of CityU Today, we learn about the various activities taking place around campus that constitute our contributions to Smart City. Our Strategic Plan 2015–2020 makes specific mention of Smart City, i.e., technological advancements that can make daily life more efficient, more environmentally friendly and “smarter”. We find out about another major initiative under way: boosting the entrepreneurial spirit across campus, i.e., how ideas are developed into possible marketready products or services, and how to train young people to spot great ideas formulated by others. We also profile one of our experts on social entrepreneurship and his work in this field. In addition, we learn about an app developed by one of our faculty members for combating telephone phishing, and we hear from one of our donors on why he has given so generously to CityU. Best wishes for the New Year and happy reading!

Entrepreneurship – in support of discovery By Michael Gibb, Mirror Fung
文：鄭智友、馮美玲
Innovation and entrepreneurship education provide students with broader skills in communication, creativity, innovation, leadership and teamwork, which are labeled as the critical skills needed for all students in the 21st century, according to Dr Sun Hongyi, Associate Professor in the Department of Systems Engineering and Engineering Management.
Dr Sun is seeking to develop these skills at a global level. He helped develop CityU’s inaugural MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) programme, which was launched in September 2016. Titled “Foundation of Innovation and Entrepreneurship in

help when it is needed,” Dr Chan says.
Dr Sun says.
Another initiative is the launch by the Run Run Shaw Library and KTO of an online Entrepreneurship Guide in August 2016. The Guide provides practical information and tips on getting started in entrepreneurship, and is quite possibly the most comprehensive current resource in Hong Kong for young entrepreneurs. You can find the guide at: http://libguides.library.cityu.edu.hk/entrep ”These new schemes will enhance the overall strategic design of the entire ecosystem. We aim to provide seamless support for our young start-ups from the earliest stages to a relatively mature venture capitalist-funding stage,” Mr Ai adds. Combined with the coaching and strategic guidance on offer through Innovation Commons, working space and an on-campus incubator system, CityU is fast becoming the place in higher education in Hong Kong for entrepreneurship.

Another area that will be explored increasingly under the DiscoveryEnriched Curriculum (DEC) and through other initiatives, according to

Funding opportunities CityU offers funding avenues and advice and assistance from initial conception to later stage development, such as how to interest venture capitalists. Innovation Commons supports the CityU community in creating and formulating innovative ideas, educates students about intellectual property, and nurtures their ideas in order to mature intellectual property and seek appropriate ways to protect it. • Student Early Entrepreneurship Development Scheme (SEEDS), set up under the offices of the Provost and the Vice-President (Research and Technology), and administered by KTO, funds student projects that lead to new products or services and new intellectual property. It offers the first funding support for ideas to be nurtured into strong candidates for more substantive funding support later on. • Technology Start-up Support Scheme for Universities (TSSSU), launched by the Innovation and Technology Commission, encourages university students, alumni and professors to start up technology business. Around 20 CityU technology start-ups initiated by our students, alumni or faculty members have received TSSSU funding. • CityUE Investment Fund, established by CityUE Enterprises Limited, aims to provide funding support to start-up companies established by the CityU community, following a lead venture capital or an angel investor. • The Student Contest Support Fund (SCSF) supports students’ participation in relevant contests/ competitions. The fund helps to cover the cost of materials, registration fees, and travel subsidies for contests/competitions where they can present their innovative ideas or products.

To show his support, he donated HK$200 million to the University in support of its School of Veterinary Medicine, scientific research and overseas exchange programmes for students. Reviewing his experience, Dr Yeung suggests three points for success. First, be honest and sincere. Only a person with integrity can gain trust from the others. Secondly, work hard, focus on self-improvement and be willing to take on more responsibilities. Thirdly, he encourages young people to actively expand their social networks. Dr Yeung’s success reflects his deep desire to innovate for the advancement of society, and to always find ways to help others, especially young people starting out on their life’s journey.

勇於創新、敢於嘗試 楊建文博士太平紳士在香港土生土長，當年與 母親、太太三人合資十萬元創業，是典型白手 興家的企業家。他不僅熱衷科研及敢於創新， 亦是樂善好施的慈善家。 楊博士現為伯恩光學（香港）有限公司（伯恩） 總裁，在深圳和惠州兩地的廠房生產手機及手 錶屏幕，產量達全球三分之一。著名的手機商， 如蘋果、華為、三星、索尼、小米等，都是伯恩的 客戶。 上世紀七十年代，日本手錶開始使用玻璃鏡面 代替塑膠面。楊博士回憶說：「當時香港還未有 玻璃鏡面手錶；我便透過朋友介紹，從日本進口 機器，開始做玻璃面的手錶。因為創新和品質 好，產品非常暢銷。」 楊博士由此想到，既然手錶可以用玻璃鏡面，為 甚麼手提電話還用塑膠屏幕呢？於是開始研發 手機玻璃屏幕。2003年，摩托羅拉的智能電話 便開始採用伯恩的玻璃屏幕，第一張訂單就達 一百萬件。 他說：「當時伯恩每月生產的手錶鏡面只有幾千 件，要接下這項訂單便得添置昂貴的新機器。那 時我們好比在十字路口，如果他們日後不再加 單，添置新機器的龐大開支可能會拖累公司。」
他決定把握這個難得的機會，購置了新機器。結 果產品大受歡迎，生產訂單由一百萬件增加至 一億件。公司的業務自此不斷發展，並奠定了手 機屏幕王國的地位。但是楊博士沒有因此而停 止創新求變，反而不斷改良技術，例如研發曲面 屏幕和雷射感光玻璃，為公司帶來一次又一次的 成功。 楊博士也是位古道熱腸的大慈善家，對任何事 都存感恩之心，「伯恩」這個名字便是由此而 來。 自2015年初次接觸城大，楊博士深深感受到城 大重視創意和創新，與他一直以來的做事理念 相近。他同時看到，城大作為一間年輕的大學， 學術成績突出，排名在近年不斷上升，而且非常 重視學生的培養，因此慷慨捐助二億港元，以支 持城大動物醫學院、大學科研和學生海外交流。 楊博士總結其人生經驗時認為，成功因素有三： 第一、真誠待人，有誠信才能贏得別人的信任； 第二、勤奮做事，不斷充實自己，不斤斤計較； 第三、積極擴闊生活圈子，廣交朋友。 楊博士創新不斷、熱心貢獻社會、樂於助人，尤 其重視培養年輕人發展事業，這些也是他的成 功之道。

Approximately 17.4 million young girls around the world get married unwillingly each year, that is, one every two seconds, due to reasons such as family difficulties, traditional concepts and cultural customs. “I visited a Cambodian girl who dropped out of school and got married

thought that she might probably live like this for her entire life without any hope,” said Ms Kanie Siu Mei-kuen, Chief Executive Officer of Plan International Hong Kong. Besides child marriage, girls in many developing countries face other threats, including deprivation of schooling, child labour, female genital mutilation, sexual violence and child trafficking. These problems may simply be regarded by many as other people’s stories, but Kanie has great empathy with children. Kanie worked for major corporations such as a bank, a catering group and a real estate agency for ten years after graduating in Business and Administration. She then decided to join Oxfam Hong Kong with a reduced salary. “I wanted to contribute to the elimination of unfairness in the world,” she said. While at Oxfam, she instituted the public relations and sales and marketing strategies often adopted by business corporations, initiating promotions on the street, promoting marketing taglines and maintaining good relationships between donors and recipients. She then joined Plan International Hong Kong as the Chief Executive Officer in 2015 after becoming very interested in a global movement, “Because I am a Girl”, driven by Plan International to ensure girls everywhere can learn, lead, decide and thrive.

I have been living on the CityU campus in Kowloon Tong for four years. For the first two years I was studying for an Associate Degree in Financial Services in the Community College of City University. Now I am studying a social work programme in the College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences at CityU. In addition to being a student, I am a middle-to-long distance runner. This means that I have to study harder and have better timemanagement than my peers. I have to train regularly and compete in many different places. As a result, I have developed a habit of studying whenever I have time. I ask classmates immediately if there are things that I don’t understand. I also need to find ways to work with teammates on assignments and projects. Many people say student athletes should not choose to study social work because the workload is too heavy. But I was determined to overcome the difficulties and strike a balance between school and running. Switching from financial services to social sciences was almost like starting from scratch, I had to learn everything again. Not only did I not regret my decision, I started to work even harder. It is my wish to be able to continue my studies and maintain my life as a student athlete.
