The Bachelor of Education (Honours) (Business, Accounting and Financial Studies) [BEd(BAFS)] programme organized a two-day-one-night GBA trip on 11th and 12th December 2023, themed in “An Exploration of Hengqin and Macao from Innovation and Economic Development Perspectives”.

On the first day of the trip, students visited the Zhuhai UM Science & Technology Research Institute (ZUMRI) and Novotown. Students could understand the importance of the industry families for Hengqin’s development, including sci-tech research and high-end manufacturing, traditional Chinese medicine, culture and tourism.

We visited the Centre for Macau Studies and the Centre for Innovation and Entrepreneurship of University of Macau on the second day. Students learned about the most updated development of Macao’s economy, the Greater Bay Area, and the In-Depth Cooperation Zone from the seminar conducted by Prof. Henry LEI. Moreover, the visit to the Centre for Innovation and Entrepreneurship enabled our students to broaden their horizons from the successful stories of outstanding incubation teams, together with the facilities and team office environment offered by the Centre.
