HKUST Foundation

Achievement of the University's future goals, to develop as a knowledge powerhouse and successfully help turn Hong Kong into a knowledge-based economy, will require a major effort in the raising of private donations. The HKUST Foundation has been established to enable members of the corporate community, individuals and alumni to join hands with the University to make this vital transition. Donations from every sector of the Hong Kong community are most welcome.

The year brought with it changes and challenges the likes of which Hong Kong has seldom experienced. As a key institution in the community, we need the support of all those who are able to give, as the University plays its part in confronting those challenges through our unwavering commitment to education, research, technology transfer and service. With your help we will do whatever it takes to succeed. We understand that as HKUST becomes increasingly successful, the opportunities for success in the community at large become that much greater. The vision and mission that have guided us through a decade of achievement will further inspire the HKUST community in the years ahead. This report is a testament to the positive spirit that pervades the HKUST campus. I trust you will find as much cause for pride in the University's accomplishments as I do.

My thanks go to all those individuals and organizations that have supported us, and we look forward to your continued contribution in the years ahead.
