Recently, the Faculty of Business (FOB) of City University of Macau (CityU) organized a visit for MBA students to the 369 Coop Town, an innovative incubation hub in Macao. The aim was to help young students better understand the innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystem in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (Greater Bay Area, GBA), the impact of the international environment on cross-border trade, and the development opportunities for young talent in entrepreneurship and employment. The visit was led by FOB Assistant Professors Yu Limeng and Ma Danni, along with Isaac Tong Weng Io, responsible person of the Ung Choi Kun Entrepreneurship and Career Centre. 

During the visit, Ieong Hong Wai, co-founder and CEO of 369 Coop Town, explained to the students the social connections, abundant entrepreneurial resources, and support available for entrepreneurs at the hub. The students toured the entrepreneurial spaces, actively interacted with entrepreneurs, and asked many insightful questions. Additionally, Tang Rongyao, the director of the Entrepreneurship and Employment Center, shared the resources available at the center and recent recruitment activities with the students.

This event not only strengthens the connection between the FOB and local entrepreneurial innovation spaces but also aims to provide graduating MBA students with the opportunity to gain in-depth insights into entrepreneurial opportunities and resources in the Greater Bay Area from a practical perspective. 

The MBA program is committed to inspiring and cultivating students’ ability to integrate theory with practice, fostering an entrepreneurial mindset and professional managerial qualities. Through extensive connections and exchanges with the industry, the program broadens students’ horizons, continuously ignites their passion for learning, and supports their future professional development.
