On 28 February 2025, InnoPort successfully celebrated its 5th anniversary with a vibrant celebration party aimed at fostering the spirit of innovation and entrepreneurship within its community. The event was a full house, with nearly 100 attendees, which brought together a diverse group of entrepreneurs, educators, students, alumni and industry leaders, creating a dynamic atmosphere for networking and sharing insights. 
 
Professor Sham Mai-har, Pro-Vice-Chancellor of The Chinese University of Hong Kong and Choh-Ming Li Professor of Biomedical Sciences, initiated the event with an inspiring opening speech, highlighting the journey of InnoPort that led to this momentous occasion. 
 
Professor Benny Zee, Director of the Office of Research and Knowledge Transfer Services (ORKTS), also delivered a speech during the party to reaffirm the importance of expanding cooperation with various parties to achieve further excellence. 
 
The evening included a unique networking game called “InnoBingo,” designed to spark meaningful connections among the attendees. Guests were given bingo cards featuring interesting prompts and were encouraged to share their entrepreneurial journeys, exchanging stories that ranged from start-up challenges to innovative breakthroughs. 
 
Following the networking session, the highlight of the evening was a thought-provoking fireside chat titled “Pursuing Dreams in the Era of Generation Alpha.” Moderated by Mr. Basil Cheung, Founder and Director of Elio Brand Consultancy, the panel featured three distinguished speakers representing different facets of next-generation entrepreneurship. Professor Benny Zee spoke about entrepreneurship emerging from tertiary education, emphasizing how CUHK and InnoPort can serve as incubators for bold ideas. Ms. Irene Au, Founder of KALOS (Musicpreneur Solutions), shared her story of blending artistry with business. Mr. Louis Hou, former CEO of Dialogue In The Dark, offered insights into how profit and purpose can coexist based on his social entrepreneurship experience. 
 
As InnoPort embarks on its next chapter, it looks forward to continuing its role as a catalyst for entrepreneurial innovation and collaboration, inspiring the leaders of tomorrow. Stay tuned to our photo gallery at InnoPort website!
