The Young Marco Polo Program (YMP) for High Flying Teams, (2nd cohort, Summer 2022)

The Young Marco Polo Program(TM) is a Leadership Development Lab for Corporate Social and Business Innovation using the platform of the NewSpace Economy, for high flyihg teams. The program helps companies in the NewSpace Economy articulate and reframe a business issue, and leverage on the creativity and research of bright students, building a case for change that the executive would find support back at work.

We are currently exploring this program with five start-ups and SMEs, with undergraduate and graduate students from CityU, PolyU, HKU, Lingnan, and CUHK.
