CB hosts International Student Blockchain Competition

The College hosted the final presentation of the International Student Blockchain Competition on 30th May 2018. The event marked the conclusion of DappCamp, an academy initiative of the Hong Kong Blockchain Society, which included a series of blockchain trainings or workshops for students to prepare themselves for fintech related careers.

Prof Houmin Yan, Dean of the College of Business, opened the event and expressed his appreciation to the Hong Kong Blockchain Society, “The event provides an excellent opportunity for our students to exchange with other local and international universities, while the Society has put the participants at the forefront of knowledge about blockchain.”

29 teams from seven local universities and two overseas universities had entered the competition. In the finale, ten shortlisted teams, including students from our College, presented their solutions related to blockchain to compete for the top prizes. Li Hoi-yi from the Department of Marketing partnered with students from another local university to form Tech Geeks, which got the fourth place in the Proposal and White Paper Category of the competition.
