“I was grateful to Baidu for the opportunity to experience Apollo Go, a driverless ride where I enjoyed music and a massage hands-free. At DJI, controlling drones without a remote felt like Iron Man. Thanks to rich company visits and supportive peers, this programme strengthened my understanding of technology integration in business and sharpened my analytical and communication skills for lifelong impact! (FONG Hau Yu, PACC, Year 1)”
The study tour opened doors for students to explore business in the GBA, sparking new ideas, fostering lasting connections, and creating unforgettable memories 📚
