The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) recently participated in NAFSA 2026 in Orlando, one of the world's premier international education conferences.

Throughout the week, the delegation engaged in strategic discussions to strengthen ties with valued partners and explore new collaborations with potential institutions, expanding PolyU’s global reach and enriching students’ international learning experiences.

A highlight of the event was a small-scale appreciation luncheon hosted in Orlando by PolyU’s delegation. It provided a wonderful opportunity to gather with esteemed partners in a close setting, express sincere gratitude for their ongoing support, and discuss future collaborative initiatives.

The meaningful connections established during NAFSA 2026 resulted in a remarkably successful week for the university. Moving forward, PolyU remains committed to connecting with both current and potential partners on upcoming occasions, working together to advance the future of global education.
