Scholarship Partnership Between PolyU and CCB (Asia) Supports Emerging Financial Talent
The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) and China Construction Bank (Asia) (CCB (Asia)) have launched the “Financing the World, Building the Future” Scholarship Programme to nurture globally minded financial talents with expertise in artificial intelligence (AI), sustainable finance and cross-border finance.
The initiative recognises outstanding students who demonstrate academic excellence, innovation and strong industry insight. Through the programme, PolyU and CCB (Asia) aim to strengthen the connection between academic learning and real-world financial practices while supporting Hong Kong’s development as an international financial and innovation hub.
The scholarship programme attracted many high-achieving undergraduates from diverse academic backgrounds. Following a competitive selection process, 18 students received awards across three categories. The top awards were presented to students majoring in Accounting and Finance, as well as Digital Finance and Investment.
During the ceremony, the award recipients delivered presentations on emerging topics including AI-driven finance, sustainable financial development and cross-border financial innovation. Their research highlighted practical solutions and reflected the younger generation’s awareness of evolving industry trends and social responsibility.
University and banking leaders emphasized the importance of cultivating future-ready professionals with international perspectives, innovation capabilities and a commitment to long-term sustainable growth in Hong Kong, the Greater Bay Area and the global financial sector.
