Seven undergraduate students from The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) Business School swept away the champion and 1strunner up awards in both FinTech and A.I. categories at the CSR Challenge 2018 of EYAcademy on 26 March 2018.
Themed “A.I. and FinTech”, this edition of CSR Challenge provided students with the privilege to work with eight local outstanding entrepreneurs from Hong Kong Cyberport and Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation. The entrepreneurs, specialising in A.I. and FinTech, provided real-life case study opportunities to the students. By understanding the assigned entrepreneur’s business and the positive impact brought to the community, students created a short video to promote and showcase the entrepreneurs’ business. They also presented their strategic marketing proposal to the judging panel in the competition.
