HKUST stands for the can-do spirit with responsibility and integrity. We cherish entrepreneurial and innovative thinking for solutions to problems in daily work. We cultivate a community characterized by the traits of risk-taking, willingness to overcome challenges, innovativeness, creativeness, and trust in oneself. This also implies that HKUST provides an environment for students and faculty to pursue entrepreneurship.
