Mission
The HSUHK FinTech Literacy Enhancement Project, launched in 2022, is dedicated to making FinTech education accessible to all, empowering a diverse range of students with practical, non-technical skills to lead in Hong Kong’s dynamic international financial hub. With ~HK$19 million from the Hong Kong Education Bureau’s ESGS, we aim to bridge the region’s FinTech talent gap, projected to require 3,000 professionals annually by 2027, by fostering innovation, creativity, and ethical decision-making in financial technology.
Roles
Pioneering Accessible Education: We deliver cutting-edge programs, including the revamped BBA (Hons) in Financial Analysis and FinTech, now with 80 students, a FinTech minor open to all majors, and courses like Cloud Training and AI Essentials, emphasizing no-code platforms, AI, blockchain, and RegTech to prepare graduates for diverse FinTech roles.
Driving Talent Development: Through annual competitions, such as the Inter-University and Secondary School FinTech Innovation Competitions, we engage ~1,500 students and youth yearly, nurturing creativity and collaboration. Our students’ success, like reaching Silicon Valley in the 2024 CUPP, showcases global impact.
Fostering Industry Collaboration: We partner with leading FinTech firms to integrate real-world challenges, guest lectures, and internships, ensuring our curriculum aligns with Hong Kong’s financial sector needs and enhances graduate employability.
Promoting Community Engagement: Events like the FinTech Open Day and Hong Kong FinTech Week satellite education sessions inspire students, industry, and the public, promoting FinTech literacy across Hong Kong and the Greater Bay Area.
Advancing Infrastructure Innovation: With upgraded facilities, including high-end PCs, supercomputer, and a high-end server, we support hands-on learning, despite challenges with non-AI PCs limiting advanced AI applications, which we aim to address through strategic budget reallocation.
