CUHK Pre-Incubation Centre (Pi Centre)

The Pi Centre of CUHK is now open to all students who are interested in innovation and embarking new ventures for application! 

Pi Centre is developed under the ACE Hub, a university-wide education and support initiative, fostering cross-disciplinary exchange and collaboration. It is a co-working space located at the Lady Ho Tung Hall, CUHK (next to the Pentecostal Mission Hall Complex). 

It aims at providing assistance to CUHK students to assess their creative ideas, to develop them into forms of social or business venture, which are sustainable and, at the same time, socially responsible and impactful, so as to be qualified to join external incubation programme(s).

It provides workspace, facilities, development and mentorship support for qualified teams up to one year, with a goal to unleash the creative potential from across the campus.
