HKAES 2023-24 PITCH COMPETITION ON GRAND CHALLENGE ENGINEERING TOPICS FOR
UNIVERSITY STUDENTS


SUPPORTED BY THE INNOVATION AND TECHNOLOGY COMMISSION, HKSAR


BACKGROUND

The Global Grand Challenges Summit (GGCS) is a biennial event jointly organized
by the Chinese Academy of Engineering (CAE), the Royal Academy of Engineering
(RAE) of the UK and the National Academy of Engineering (NAE) of the USA since
2013. The summit brings together world leaders, engineers and change-makers to
collaborate and address the grand challenges facing our future world. The past
few summits were held in Beijing (2015), Washington D.C. (2017) and London
(2019), but the 2021 summit in China was disrupted by the pandemic.

One important part of the GGCS is the Student Pitch Competition preceding the
official start of the Summit. University teams are invited to propose innovation
or novel solutions to global challenges associated with the sub-themes of the
Summit. Five teams from each country, (China, UK and US), compete against each
other by presenting a 5-minute pitch to a panel of senior judges and other
Summit participants. In the 2019 GGCS, the Hong Kong Team (part of the Chinese
delegation) comprising 4 students from HKU and one student each from HKUST and
CityU was awarded the first runner-up in the Competition
https://innowings.engg.hku.hk/ggcs2019.

Looking ahead to the 6th GGCS (though details have yet been announced), the
HKAES is expected to select a Hong Kong Joint University Team to participate in
the student competition of the Summit. To facilitate this, the Academy, with the
support of the Innovation and Technology Fund, is planning to organize the HKAES
2023-24 Pitch Competition on Grand Challenge Engineering Topics for University
Students in Hong Kong. This competition provides undergraduate students from all
majors, particularly those studying engineering and computer science, with the
opportunity to compete for the honour to representing Hong Kong and Mainland
China at the 6th GGCS.
