HKUST is striving to make a contribution to economic

processes, intellectual property protection and licensing, as
well as the incubation of start-up companies.
Human resources are considered the most effective means
of technology diffusion. Most of the 1,317 Masters and

private and public sectors, taking with them in-depth
knowledge of their disciplines, know-how, creativity and
innovation.
