04 About USECHK

USEC HONG KONG 2015

Date: 19th - 22nd June, 2015

Venue: The Hong Kong Polytechnic University

In the year of 2014, Asia has gone through many breaking

milestones. From IPO of world-shaking Chinese tech-company, to

spread of Ebola, winning of Nobel Peace Price by Malala. We see how

the global environment is changing. Asia is becoming the centre of the

world, influencing many cross- border issues such as China’s

environmental problem, India’s public health and cultural cause.

USECHK 2015 hereby brings together Asia’s successful guests

from business, non-profits, government as well as grass-root

community to share their stories of creating impact. By intensive

networking, mutual- mentoring and practical skills sessions, delegates

and guests can gain diverse and new insights on the latest global

social trend, business analytics and public sector skills.

05 Conference 2015

Being a youth, I have always dreamed to

change the world. Way before I dream, I

complained a lot, “That is too much! I am

enough of this! I am going to quit...” This is a

good sign because I know what the “problem” is

and I want to get out of it. However, simply

pointing out what we do not like will not do any

good, but feeling worse. We should change.

“Voice out, take action, keep going” This is my belief.

We therefore take the initiative to make a difference - USECHK.

USECHK 2015 as a global conference, will invite more than 400

participants, 30 guests in 4 days, covering from Asia to America to

Europe. Gathering “citizens” of all sectors, working on various social

causes, USECHK acts as a platform of mutual-inspiration and

community-integration. Everyday we work, we stretch our limits,

picturing that we can make more impact by connecting social

innovators and expanding their network. Today, we have accomplished

it and we will not stop here.

06 Message From Chairman

We are very thankful to all our supporters including partners,

sponsors and more. To step further, we kindly invite you to support us.

This will be your unique opportunity to stand out from the crowd and

show the society and world how you contribute back. Partnering with

USECHK, you can see the impact made among our changemakers and

society. We hope to shape the future generation with you!

USEC Competition Briefing Session

AroundCompetition Partner We created Around (previously known as Myflat.hk) because we wanted to re-build a strong community. Right now, people living or working in the same neighbourhood do not have ways to connect and communicate. Local businesses also do not have effective ways to provide relevant information to nearby customers and connect with them. We believe technology can provide a solution to these problems, so Around was founded.
