In a conversation with Alan Wang, Chair of Intel China and HKUST MBA Class of 2001, he reflects on the habits that have guided him through decades of innovation and what still matters most in the age of AI. Alan does not point to a single breakthrough in his early career; what he remembers most are the people. Long before becoming Chair of Intel China, he was an MBA student learning from classmates who viewed challenges through the lenses of law, finance, marketing, and accounting.

Yuka Ito, a finance professional and Full-time MBA Intake 2025 student, made a bold decision to return to Hong Kong-this time, as a student. Originally from Japan, her experience working in the city opened her eyes to the power of international collaboration and inspired her to pursue a more globally oriented career.

"I wanted to build a career with a more global focus — and returning to Hong Kong for my MBA felt like the perfect next step." Yuka shared.
