How innovation can be the beating heart of Hong Kong’s education dream
AI Summary
All eight publicly subsidized universities in Hong Kong have been ranked among the world's top 350 institutions according to the 2026 World University Rankings by Times Higher Education. Six of these universities are within the global top 200, with five securing spots in the top 100, marking the highest concentration of top 100 universities in any city worldwide. This achievement supports Hong Kong's ambition to become an international education hub as outlined in Chief Executive John Lee Ka-chiu’s recent policy address. The rankings also highlight a trend of Asian institutions outperforming their US and European counterparts due to increased research funding and talent attraction in Asia, while Western universities face financial constraints and reduced global appeal.
