Fostering Multidisciplinary Collaboration and Technology Development Invigorating Synergies via the U-I-G Triple Helix

PolyU has long been committed in addressing unmet global needs through innovation, and striving for food safety and quality is no exception. With the ever-arising issues such as the use of gutter oil, sale of vampire meat in China, food fraud and other issues hitting headlines in recent years and yet to be tackled by cutting-edge technologies, PolyU is determined to bring together academic expertise (U), industry needs (I), and viewpoints from regulatory bodies and governmental organizations (G) to synergize our efforts in restoring consumer confidence. We deliver to you our inaugural issue of Empowering Food Safety and Quality to share our efforts and latest events, research and innovations, news, and how you could participate in our upcoming initiatives to capture the synergies generated from UIG triple helix and through multidisciplinary collaborations. We are also excited to introduce the DISH Global Centre for Food Safety and Quality, which is a non-profit alliance of four economies - Denmark, Italy, Sweden and Hong Kong – to foster EU – HK / China – Asia Pacific collaborations in food safety.

Happy reading and connect with us today to learn more!
