Yeung Kin Man Youth Industrial Incubation Programme - Nurtures New Industrialisation Talents

"Yeung Kin Man Youth Industrial Incubation Programme Award Presentation Ceremony cum Sharing Session" was held on 20 August 2024, at the BIMiHub of the Hong Kong Institute of Vocational Education (Tsing Yi), celebrating the achievements of the Programme and recognize the outstanding performances of the students.  Mr Simon YEUNG, Executive Director of Biel Crystal Holdings Limited, members of The Professional Validation Council of Hong Kong Industries (PVCHK), project mentors from different industries, VTC representatives, and award-winning students from the industrial project competitions gathered to share their joy and the fruits of their hard work.

The Yeung Kin Man Youth Industrial Incubation Programme organized six activities during the 2023/24 academic year, which included two talks from industry experts, two industrial project competitions, and two industrial visits to Huizhou and Indonesia.  The Programme activities integrate two important development strategies: the Belt and Road Initiative (B&RI) and Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA) development.  It aims to promote Hong Kong’s industries while deepening young people’s understanding of industrial innovation and future opportunities.  The Programme seeks to inspire young people to pursue careers in industry, nurture new industrialization talent and help develop new quality productive forces.

Established in the 2017/18 academic year with the generous support of Dr Yeung Kin-man, SBS, JP, the Programme has since benefited over 2,600 students in business administration, information technology, and engineering.  This initiative significantly contributes to Vocational and Professional Education and Training (VPET) and supports Hong Kong's industrial development.
