The IdeaBooster Fund is to inspire and support CUHK researchers in translating their knowledge and technologies into tangible societal impact. The Fund has four major objectives:
i) To support the development of early-stage ideas into a variety of impactful translational projects;
ii) To promote and cultivate an innovative culture across campus, stimulating a problem-driven innovation mindset within the CUHK community, for research and knowledge transfer initiatives;
iii) To encourage CUHK researchers to accelerate the transition from discovery research to goal-oriented translational projects which address a clear unmet market need;
iv) To inspire and encourage CUHK researchers to gain direct knowledge and insight from societal/industry needs, and to address critical social issues through interdisciplinary solutions, thereby creating tangible societal impact.
