【中大校友吳義君：推動智慧出行走向無人駕駛】

有冇諗過無人駕駛時代，可能比我哋想像更早嚟到 😳？

其實「智慧出行」一早已經悄悄融入我哋日常生活——例如巴士實時報站、車上輔助駕駛系統，原來十年前已經開始用緊💁🏻‍♀️。而家香港更加有超過60架自動車試行中🚗，逐步向未來邁進。

中大校友兼冠忠集團智慧出行業務拓展總監吳義君（Newton）就講到，對巴士業界而言，自動駕駛唔單止係科技升級，仲可以解決司機短缺同人手老化問題機😌。Newton 亦指出，內地自動駕駛技術發展迅速，部份城市已做到1個安全員遠端監控10部自動車🖥️，而香港仍採取1對1監控。不過，憑著右軚駕駛同獨特嘅交通規則，香港反而吸引到內地企業嚟試水溫，作為拓展海外市場嘅重要跳板。

當然，要真正實現「無人化」，關鍵未必係技術，而係制度同思維如何跟上步伐。Newton強調，科研要成功落地，學術界同業界一定要多啲合作，技術加營運先行得通💪。未來未必取決於科技有幾快，而係我哋嘅制度同社會準備好未，因為真正決定節奏嘅，其實係人。

【CUHK Alumnus Newton Ng: Driving Smart Mobility Toward Autonomous Driving】
Ever thought that the era of autonomous driving might arrive sooner than we expect😳?

The government’s recent Transport Strategy Blueprint has spotlighted on smart mobility. But, what does that really mean💁🏻? Newton Ng, a CUHK alumnus and Business Development Director of KC Smart Mobility🚍, explained that smart mobility has already quietly integrated into our lives over the past decade — from real-time bus arrivals to driver assistance systems. Today, over 60 autonomous vehicles are operating across various pilot sites in Hong Kong🚗.

For the bus industry, autonomous driving could ease driver shortages and an aging workforce. Newton noted that Mainland China’s autonomous technology is racing ahead, with some cities already achieving a 1-to-10 remote monitoring ratio 🖥️ per safety operator. While Hong Kong still adopts a 1-to-1 model, its right-hand drive standards and distinct traffic rules makes it appealing launchpad and global gateway for mainland smart mobility enterprises.

However, achieving fully unmanned operations isn’t just a tech leap, it also requires progress in mindset and policy. Newton emphasized the real key lies in integrating technology with operations🔑. Stronger collaboration between academia and industry is essential to translate research into real-world applications 💪. The pace of autonomous mobility depends not on how fast technology advances, but on how ready our systems, policies, and mindset are to keep up.

【EPIN Summer Study Tour 2026 – Day 4 in Cambridge 🇬🇧】

As we head into the final two days of the Cambridge study tour, Day 4 was a perfect combination of wisdom and beauty.

We were excited to start the day with Mr. Brian Corbett’s session on Entrepreneurship in Practice. His practical guidance on developing project pitches and entrepreneurial solutions in biotechnology and healthcare helped students sharpen their ideas for tomorrow’s pitching session.

Next, Dr. Aga Iwasiewicz-Wabnig introduced us to the Maxwell Centre, where industrial engagement with physical scientists and engineers is fostered. We gained valuable insight into how science and technology build a healthy and resilient society for the future. It was fascinating to learn about the economic impact Cambridge can generate for every £1 invested.

Later, we were both surprised and inspired by Dr. Jim Ajioka, CEO of 𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐱 for the world’s first fossil-free biological dyeing process.

And finally, the long-awaited highlight of the day — the Gala Dinner! It was an unforgettable evening hosted by Jesus College in their stunning historic hall, where we shared love, joy, and meaningful reflections as we brought this amazing day to a close.

🛎️ Stay tuned for our last day in Cambridge tomorrow!

【AI化身言語治療小助手 幫病人重拾聲音】

有冇諗過AI都可以幫病人重拾聲音？香港中文大學系統工程與工程管理學系助理教授吳錫欣教授創辦嘅健聲科技就利用AI技術幫助構音障礙患者復康，重建日常溝通✨。

構音障礙患者因發聲肌肉或神經受損而講嘢唔清晰，令日常交流變得困難。吳教授就利用AI分析患者發音特徵，將原本模糊嘅語音變返清晰，等患者可以更順暢咁同人傾偈🗣️。

除咗日常溝通，患者仲好多時因為香港嘅言語治療師人手不足，導致無法安排定期覆診，影響康復進度。而配套嘅復康輔助產品就能夠支援患者在家進行康復訓練💪。透過AI提供即時回饋同紀錄訓練進度，治療師可以參考數據分析病情同優化訓練方案。通過科技同專業互相配合，患者就能得到更有效、適切嘅治療。未來產品更有望推廣到內地及其他華人地區，造福更多有需要人士💝。

【AI in Speech Therapy: Rebuilding Communication and Restoring Voices】

Did you know that AI could help patients find their voices again? Professor Wu Xixin, Assistant Professor of Department of Systems Engineering and Engineering Management, CUHK, utilizes AI technology to assist dysarthric patients with their rehabilitation, helping them rebuild their daily communication skills ✨.

Dysarthric patients struggle to speak clearly due to damaged vocal muscles or nerves, making everyday interactions difficult. Hence, Professor Wu leverages AI to analyze patients’ pronunciation patterns, converting blurred speech into clear audio for smoother everyday conversations🗣️.

Furthermore, patients often face difficulty in making regular follow-up appointments due to the shortage of speech therapists, causing delays in their recovery. To bridge this gap, their product also supports home rehabilitation training. By providing instant feedback and tracking progress, therapists can optimize recovery plans with the data collected.

Through the collaboration of technology and expertise, dysarthric patient can receive more effective and suitable rehabilitation. Looking ahead, the product is expected to be expand to mainland China and other Chinese-speaking regions, benefiting even more patients in need.

【大學功課變千萬美元生意？】

有冇諗過，一份大學功課可以變創業起點？📚加拿大22歲創業家 Vansh Sobti用行動證明咗呢件事！當時功課要求同學將兩樣產品「二合為一」。而Vansh 正受困於疫情解封後嘅社交焦慮，經常喺屋企用減壓工具，但出街用又怕俾人見到，於是佢靈機一觸將減壓功能融入衛衣😃✨，咁就可以隨時減壓，又唔使尷尬啦！

後來佢發現好多人都有同樣問題😯，於是喺2023年正式將產品推出市場，創立「Cloud Nine Clothing」。短短幾年，品牌嘅年營業額就達1000萬美元👏🏻。

Vansh嘅成功並非偶然，佢細個已經玩網上代發貨，早就明白「好產品，一定從理解人開始」👍🏻，能解決用家痛點，需求自然出現；相反，若產品連問題都解決唔到，就要先說服消費者「問題存在」先賣得出。即使創業途中被人質疑「太年輕」、「無經驗」，但Vansh無放棄，反而深信韌性同拼勁💪🏻遠比年齡同經驗更重要。

💡你又有無諗起邊份功課，可能係你創業嘅起點？

【From a university assignment to a $10M Brand? 】

What if your next big business is already sitting in your class notes? At just 22, Canadian entrepreneur Vansh Sobti turned a simple university assignment—combining two products into one — into a million-dollar startup.

While Vansh was struggling with post-lockdown social anxiety😣, stress-relief tools helped him at home, but he felt uncomfortable using them in public. That’s when inspiration struck — what if he built stress-relief features directly into a hoodie?😃✨ A subtle, wearable way to stay calm anywhere.

Soon, he realized many others were facing the same anxiety😯. So in 2023, he turned his idea into reality and launched Cloud Nine Clothing. Today, the brand has grown into a $10 million (USD) annual revenue business 👏🏻🔥.

But this wasn’t just luck. As a teenager, Vansh ran a drop-shipping business where he learned a key entrepreneurial truth: great products start with understanding people 👍🏻. If a product truly solves a real pain point, demand follows. Otherwise, you have to convince consumers the problem even exists.

By deeply understanding customer needs, Vansh built a brand that truly resonates. Even when people doubted him for being “too young” or “inexperienced”, he stayed the course, proving that resilience and perseverance 💪🏻 matter far more than age or experience.

💡Your million-dollar idea might not be in the future, but already be in your notes.
