The Tam Wing Fan Innovation Wing Two (Innovation Wing Two) was established with a donation of HK$20 million from Mr and Mrs Tam Wing Fan, for setting up the infrastructure and facilities and inaugurating the operation of the facility, and a HK$10 million funding under the Government Research Matching Grant Scheme to match with the donation amount, for conducting research activities and initiatives. The Innovation Wing Two is connected with the Innovation Wing One via a covered walkway. The Innovation Wing Two aims to serve as an enabling platform for Engineering researchers to interact and collaborate synergistically with researchers and professionals across various disciplines to tackle grand challenges and deliver research outputs with significant impact to Hong Kong and global communities, and at the same time to share the Faculty’s latest research achievements/findings/outputs with the large HKU and Hong Kong communities in widely accessible forms for example exhibitions and talks on research topics. The Innovation Wing One and Two and the Innovation Academy together form an integrated hub for innovation, exploration, outreach and collaboration that is nonpareil and will push forward the Faculty’s two fronts of both education and research on innovation in an enlarged arena.
