Mr Yip Yu Cheong (INFE, final year) and Mr Lam Yu Hin (CE, final year), who teamed up with student from School of Creative Media, have been selected to join The Cyberport University Partnership Programme (CUPP) 2017 and awarded HK$100K seed fund to develop their FinTech start-up project “ODAPP – One Device All Payment Platform”. The winning team is supervised by Dr Ray Cheung, Associate Professor of EE.
CUPP is a FinTech-focused entrepreneurship programme for local university students to unleash their potential, gain insights into the global market, and receive a unique chance to participate in an Entrepreneurship Boot Camp at the Stanford Graduate School of Business (Stanford GSB) and receive mentorship from industry elites. More about this meaningful programme can be found here.
This is the third year Cyberport running such a programme and two EE teams had been selected to join the programme in 2015 and 2016 respectively. It’s so exciting that EE team did a good job this year again and got the funding to further develop their FinTech idea. I’m also glad to tell you that the winner in 2015, Mr Kinni Mew (CE graduate in 2012), is now successfully running his start-up through the CUPP. You may check here for his successful story.
