The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST)’s Entrepreneurship Centre is the home to the record-breaking hackUST 2023. It is an annual hackaton that was first initiated in 2014 and aims to cultivate student’s innovation and entrepreneurship through providing a platform for both technical and non-technical students with like-minded interest to tackle problems with creative ideas and solutions. The hackUST is more than a platform for the students to tackle problems but a platform with a pool of talents with an entrepreneurial mindset who are potential candidates sought after by organizations that are looking for new recruits and creative solutions adaptable for their operations. It is also one of the most sought-after hackathons by university students around the world.
