Law, Innovation, Technology & Entrepreneurship Lab at the University of Hong Kong Faculty of Law (LITE Lab@HKU) is now in our third year, and is offering 5 interdisciplinary and experiential courses in 2021/2022 (3 undergraduate; 2 postgraduate).
As part of our new LITE Lab: Lawtech & Regtech Sandbox, our students work with NGOs to address real world issues to co-design Lawtech4Good tools that assist those NGOs positively impact their targeted beneficiaries!
