Four teams comprising eight HKBU students have successfully completed the Cyberport University Partnership Programme 2026 (CUPP). They participated in an intensive overseas entrepreneurship boot camp at the London School of Economics and Political Science and graduated from the programme. During the boot camp, students actively engaged with international startup communities, built networks with local and global industry leaders, broadened their entrepreneurial outlook, and gradually refined their innovative projects into viable solutions with real-world impact.

Organised by the Cyberport Academy and supported by the Cyberport Creative Micro Fund, CUPP is one of the most highly recognised youth entrepreneurship programmes in Hong Kong. The programme aims to equip university students with knowledge and skills in fields such as Artificial Intelligence, Blockchain, Cybersecurity, and Data Science, while also providing professional mentorship and industry exchange opportunities to help them better understand the global entrepreneurship ecosystem. This year, a total of 20 teams from 12 local universities were selected to participate in the programme.
