Why TSM Hong Kong?

  • What motivates you to join TSM?

With the booming industry of budget airlines, it is easy to travel to any part of the world, however a trip under the school with the topic of technopreneurship will open a very different learning experience that i will never be able to achieve from other avenues.

  • Why pick Hong Kong?

Hong Kong is a country very similar to Singapore yet they have very different personalities. On the surface, both HK and SG are former British colonies, small economies, predominately Chinese population and heavily focused on trade and finance. However HK seems to be a more lively and exciting city to be in - just take a look at the film and entertainment industry. Such differences create a very different opportunities and way to doing thing. This is why HK is an interesting place to expand my vision.
