CUHK Research: Changing the world

Tightly connected with the Hong Kong Science Park nearby, CUHK helps to incubate globally competitive technology start-ups that serve advanced industries. Among them is a spin-off from the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, the “unicorn” SmartMore, founded by Professor Jiaya Jia. Large manufacturers use its systems for “Industry 4.0” production involving artificial intelligence (AI)-driven computer vision. SmartMore also provides significant funds for CUHK research collaboration, creating opportunities for professors and students to interact with manufacturers in real business settings.
