23 Aug 2025 From the Lab to the Market: NerOcean CEO Returns Energized from Intensive Deep-Tech Training I’m thrilled to reflect on an incredible first week at the inaugural Deep-Tech Lab – Business Executives Program 2025, hosted by The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK). This first-of-its-kind program is meticulously designed to bridge the gap between groundbreaking innovation and commercial reality. As a PhD scientist and CEO of NerOcean Limited, participating in the Scientists Track has been immensely valuable. The learning was intensified by fantastic mentors—thank you to Prof. Kevin Au (Founding Director of DTL), Olivier, Marta, Mike, and Victoria Wang for your enthusiastic guidance, invaluable advice on my pitch, and for sharing the essential tools and hard-earned experiences of startup building. Beyond formal learning, the true magic was in the connections—meeting brilliant new friends from both the Scientists and Business Leader Tracks. This collaborative spirit is exactly what Hong Kong’s deep-tech ecosystem needs. I’m ending this week not just with new knowledge, but with a new signed book on entrepreneurship from Prof. Kevin Au and a reinforced passion to lead NerOcean toward its mission of making global ocean monitoring easier, cheaper, and safer. A special thank you to The Education University of Hong Kong (EdUHK) for sponsoring part of our programme fees.
