CityU Chak On Centre

“A permanent base?” you might ask, your eyebrows raised in curiosity. Indeed, the CityU Chak On Centre is more than just a building. It represents City University of Hong Kong’s ambitious foray into mainland China, a permanent foothold for applied research, incubation, and professional education. Established in April 2010, the CityU Chak On Centre stands as a testament to the university’s commitment to innovation and cross-border collaboration. This isn’t just about expanding CityU’s presence. It’s about fostering a dynamic ecosystem where groundbreaking research can flourish and where future leaders are nurtured. The CityU Chak On Centre is a beacon of collaboration, bridging the gap between academia and industry. It’s not merely a physical space, but a catalyst for innovation. While the CityU Chak On Centre itself may not be a hub of bustling student activity like a main campus, it plays a vital, behind-the-scenes role. It serves as the administrative heart for CityU’s extensive research and development efforts in Shenzhen. Think of it as the engine room powering CityU’s innovation drive in the mainland. This centre isn’t just about bricks and mortar. It represents a bridge between Hong Kong’s academic prowess and the mainland’s burgeoning technological landscape.
