Pre-visit meeting for HKSTP & CityU

I met Ms. Elaine Cheung (Executive Officer, Office of the Vice-President (Research & Technology) on 19^th April 2018 afternoon to discuss the arrangement of HKSTP chairperson and BoD members to visit CityU in Jun 2018.  We took a photo in front of the office for memory.

The story for this arrangement started that I joined the celebration dinner with new Council Chairman of CityU - Mr. Lester G Huang on 5^th Mar 2018.  When we were chatting about government committed to invest on Innovation and Technology development in Hong Kong, Mr. Lester G Huang would like to invite HKSTP chairperson and related executives to visit CityU new facilities.

Then I passed his message to Mrs. Fanny LAW FAN (Chairperson, HKSTP) during Hong Kong-Shenzhen Innovation and Technology Park Limited House Warming on 14^th Mar 2018.  Then Mrs. Fanny LAW FAN expressed her interest on animal laboratories and KTO in CityU.

After that I had joined CityU Distinguished Alumni Award Presentation Ceremony on 22^nd Mar 2018 and I met Mr. Lester G Huang again.  I passed our chairlady’s interest to him for further arrangement.

Lastly, I got the preliminary arrangement and met Mrs. Fanny LAW FAN (Chairperson, HKSTP) during HKSTP Annual Dinner on 23^rd Mar 2018.  She assigned one of my colleagues to contact all BoD members for this visit arrangement.

The success factors for this high level visit arrangement for both parties I concluded as following three points:

1.      High position people involvement (they may know each other)

2.      Common interest (align both interests and become win-win situation)

3.      Communication (someone as bridge)
