A high-level delegation from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) concluded a successful trip to Abu Dhabi and Dubai last week. Led by HKUST President Prof. Nancy IP, the delegation established valuable ties and partnerships with prominent institutions in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) to foster education, research, and innovation.
The visit took place during the 10th anniversary of the Belt and Road initiative and was also the first visit from Hong Kong’s higher education sector following Hong Kong Chief Executive John LEE’s delegation to the region last year.
During the four-day trip, the delegation engaged with prominent institutions and organizations, including the Dubai Future Foundation (DFF), the University of Sharjah, Khalifa University of Science and Technology (KU), the United Arab Emirates University, and Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence. Discussions focused on research collaboration, technology transfer, and talent development in cutting-edge fields such as artificial intelligence, robotics, medical technology, clean energy, and start-up incubation.
During the trip, HKUST signed two agreements with DFF and the University of Sharjah, covering a wide range of collaboration in areas including research, knowledge transfer, startup incubation and academic exchange. The delegation will also explore collaboration opportunities with KU, a research, innovation and enterprise-oriented university similar to HKUST, with special focuses on science, engineering and medicine.
Prof. Nancy IP described the trip as fruitful and rewarding, expressing excitement about the many ways HKUST can work with partners in the UAE to drive technology advancements in the region while fostering academic cooperation.

科大此行與迪拜未來基金會及沙迦大學共簽署兩項合作協議，涵蓋包括研究、知識轉移、初創企業孵化及學術交流等不同領域。代表團亦將與哈利法科技大學探討合作機會。該校與科大同樣重視研究、創新和創業，尤其著重發展科學、工程和醫學領域。
