Lingnan Entrepreneurship Initiative (LEI) and The Hong Kong Society for the Deaf recently co-created a transparent ASTM Level 3 face mask based on the needs of hearing-impaired people, and its fully transparent and anti-reflective design makes lip-reading possible.
After the successful free sanitization service for over 1,000 subdivided flats using mobile UVC germicidal devices, LEI has achieved another breakthrough by developing a Smart Autonomous UVC Disinfection Robot to provide effective and efficient ultraviolet disinfection for large indoor establishment, in order to reduce the risk of spreading COVID-19 and safeguard public health.
LEI is currently seeking financial support to produce 50 UVC robots by the end of 2021, providing free sanitization services for schools, care homes and NGOs. Over the long term, a social enterprise can be set up to deliver the service to private organizations like hotels and guesthouses.
LEI was established in 2018 as a resource hub and focal point for Innovation & Entrepreneurship (I&E) activities to integrate, support and empower the Lingnan community in utilizing innovation, creativity and entrepreneurship for a better future. It delivers an array of education and service opportunities that aims to identify and solve pressing humanitarian challenges with a sustainable development mindset and entrepreneurial spirit.
LEI is:
the first and only entrepreneurship platform in Hong Kong under the liberal arts context;
designed to augment the transformative power of liberal arts education;
to accelerate resources and knowledge exchange between the University and society;
to foster a vibrant entrepreneurship community to lead critical development in the 21st century; and
to promote inclusive entrepreneurship in Hong Kong and Asia.
