With the theme of “Reconnect”, the School has organized the first-ever “HKUST SBM Alumni Week” to engage and reinforce the bond with our 32,000+ alumni across 90+ nationalities.
As digital technology and innovation continue to evolve in financial services and across other industries in today’s shifting business environment, the School has organized two enrichment seminars in the Alumni Week:
