Saint Francis University (SFU) continues to strengthen its network of industry and community partners to provide students with practical learning opportunities and real-world experience. Through a newly signed Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Healthy Kids Hong Kong, students of the Yam Pak Charitable Foundation School of Computing and Information Sciences will gain additional access to experiential learning opportunities spanning educational technology, artificial intelligence (AI), social innovation, entrepreneurship and community engagement. 

The MoU was signed by Professor Anthony Chan Hing-hung, Dean of the Yam Pak Charitable Foundation School of Computing and Information Sciences of SFU, and Dr Winnie Yuk Lan Wong, Co-founder and Academic Advisor of Healthy Kids Hong Kong. SFU Vice-President (Administration) and Secretary Dr Kat Leung and Life Honorary President of Hong Kong Chinese Reform Association Dr Tso Wung-wai were present to witness the ceremony, along with SFU Associate Vice-President (Institutional Advancement) Dr Ricky Leung, Head of Industry University Partnerships Office Ms Joanna Kwok, Associate Dean of the Yam Pak Charitable Foundation School of Computing and Information Sciences Dr Anthony Wong, and Project Director of Healthy Kids Hong Kong Mr Benny Wan. The partnership marks the beginning of a collaboration on talent development, workplace learning and social innovation to support students' personal growth and career pathways.

Headquartered in Hong Kong, Healthy Kids Hong Kong is a community partner under The University of Hong Kong's Social Innovation and Global Citizenship (SIGC) Programme, with a regional presence in Shenzhen and Malaysia. Their focus on educational innovation, youth development and social entrepreneurship can well blend into SFU student development. 

This partnership lays the foundation for further collaboration in alignment with SFU's goals in applied learning, including experiential learning, industry engagement, educational innovation and social impact initiatives through extensive professional and international network, world-class liberal arts education and whole-person approach. Healthy Kids Hong Kong, backed by pro-bono support of their professional resources, will donate 100% of its annual operating surplus to scholarships, research, and seedling funds for joint responsible entrepreneurship projects with SFU.

As a pioneering University of Applied Sciences, SFU strengthens partnerships with industry and community organisations to create meaningful learning experiences beyond the classroom. Through such collaborations, SFU continues to enhance students with the skills, perspectives and real-world exposure needed to thrive in an increasingly technology-driven and innovation-focused world.
