Institute for Innovation, Translation and Policy Research
Innovate - Translate - Transfer
Idea is the starting place. To support HKBU in pioneering innovation, technology translation, and innovation policy development, ITPR encourages creativity and ideas, identifies existing and potential research projects of high impact and potential for translation
To accelerate technology development and effective translation of discoveries, strategic alliances and collaboration platforms are built to engage relevant stakeholders, establish multidisciplinary networks, and solicit domain expertise and support
Bridging the gap in technology readiness means the bringing in of experts, collaborators with specific domain knowledge and other resources such as funding to drive research outputs forward for adoption by the industry to meet unmet needs, to respond to challenges and opportunities in the society
A conducive ecosystem for nurturing innovation and catalysing Hong Kong’s growth into a technology hub is created, to drive research commercialization, entrepreneurship and application in the global community
