Under the supervision of Dr. Edwin Tso, three SEE PhD students, namely, Mr. Martin Zhu, Mr. Johnny Lin, and Miss Kelly Chen participated in the 7^th Hong Kong University Student Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition cum National & Greater Bay Area Innovation & Entrepreneurship Competitions (HKSAR), organized by Hong Kong New Generation Cultural Association.

The award-winning project is entitled “A Novel Energy Free and Environmentally Friendly Cooling Paint for Building Applications”. Through this project, the team aims to promote a novel energy-free and environment-friendly passive radiative cooling paint to reduce the air conditioning energy consumption in buildings. Empowered by the self-developed and ever-improving paint product, as well as fueled by the highly adaptive and long-term strategies, the team successfully won three awards:

• Gold Medal of the 7^th China International College Students' “Internet+” Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition
• 1^st Runner-up of Entrepreneurship Proposal Category, The 7^th Hong Kong University Student Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition
• 2^nd Runner-up of the 8^th Challenge Cup (Entrepreneurship)

By demonstrating this novel energy-saving technology to the public via the competitions, a great sense of environmental protection could be raised. In addition, the promotion of this technology can potentially contribute to the goal of carbon neutrality, which is beneficial to all of us.

Congratulations to the team!
