Vision and Mission
Entrepreneurship predisposes a person to take action. Entrepreneurs constantly search for opportunities to create value and build organisational platforms to deliver that value. With Hong Kong’s entrepreneurial ecosystem thriving in the 2020s, the first stage of our inspiring work is complete. Our mission now is to support Hong Kong in building a world-class ecosystem that produces more and more innovative and impactful ventures while revitalising its traditional industries and social values.
Our vision is to advance the understanding of entrepreneurship and inspire entrepreneurial spirit in Hong Kong, Chinese Mainland, and other parts of the world. In the near future, Center for Entrepreneurship will continue to develop and provide innovative training, research, and consulting services for government bodies, NGOs, and businesses of all kinds.

History
The Center for Entrepreneurship (CfE) at The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) was established on 24 May 2005 as a research centre under the Asia Pacific Institute of Business. As entrepreneurship in both new and existing enterprises contributes to economic growth and social development, we believe it should be understood and promoted as a vital part of education in the Business School and other faculties.
CfE is an interdisciplinary association that unites scholars in research, education, and community service to inspire entrepreneurial spirit and nurture entrepreneurial thinking. Professors Kevin Au, Bee-leng Chua, Hugh Thomas, Kwok Siu Tong, and Wong Kam Fai were instrumental in launching CfE. Since then, it has expanded in size, diversity, and activities. Professors Chua and Thomas served as the first and second directors of the Center. “To instill an entrepreneurial mindset and motivate the passion” was the motto from the beginning. We work across multiple disciplines to provide education, conduct research, and organise activities for CUHK members and the wider community to create cultural, social, and economic value.
