CUHK InnoPort hosted the Summer Institute 2026 entrepreneurship event, named "Startup Detective x Human Library Workshop", in collaboration with the Office of Academic Links (OAL) on 17 July 2026, welcoming local and international high school students to an interactive afternoon designed to spark curiosity about entrepreneurship, innovation, and future studies at CUHK.
The workshop showcased knowledge transfer in action by bringing CUHK founders and high school students together to exchange practical know-how and real-world perspectives on innovation and entrepreneurship. Students took part in a lively detective game, rotating through four mystery startup stations where they discussed clues, asked questions, and worked together to uncover the stories behind each venture.
In the founder sharing session, four entrepreneurs shared their startup journeys, including Mr. Aaron Yang, Founder & CEO of Palsara Limited; Ms. Claudia Chan, Founder and CEO of CancerCompanion; Ms. Wanki Yeung, Founder of Soul Island; and Mr. Vincent Wong, Director of Doko Tech. They shared the motivations behind their ideas, the challenges they faced, and the real stories that shaped their entrepreneurial paths.
The workshop continued with a sharing session and an award presentation, where students reflected on their entrepreneurial takeaways. It concluded with a memorable introduction to the startup ecosystem and a clearer glimpse into knowledge transfer and entrepreneurship at the university level.
