The opening ceremony of this event was held at 10 a.m. at the garden area of the Luso-Chinese Building.

They included: Leung Chou Hei, Acting Head of the Employment Department of the Labour Affairs Bureau; Ieong Un Lai, Head of the Central Provident Fund System Department of the Administrative Committee of the Social Security Fund; Fong Ka Kin, Head for Tertiary Education Cooperation and Exchange Department; Xu Zhiping, Deputy Director of the University Office under the Education and Youth Affairs Department of the Liaison Office of Central People’s Government in Macao SAR; CityU Pro-Rectors So Kam Hung and Chan Chon Pat.
In his speech, Pro-Rector Chan Chon Pat recognized that the job market would take time to recover. He said that he hoped to provide more employment and entrepreneurship opportunities for graduating students through this event and enhance their competitiveness in the future, as the job competition among university graduates would remain quite fierce. Facing the new opportunities of the Greater Bay Area development, “CityU is building and improving the integration platform of industry-academia collaboration with government, education institutions and enterprises in the Greater Bay Area.” Pro-Rector Chan said. He aimed to guide CityU students to grasp the opportunities and contribute to the Greater Bay Area development, while strengthening their sense of identity and belonging to their motherland among the young generation.
