MKS PAMP appoints Yanghao Xing as Head of Sales, Hong Kong
HONG KONG, Sept. 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The Technological and Higher Education Institute of Hong Kong (THEi) has been invited by the HKSAR Government to create a team badge symbolising the significance of the "Hong Kong's First Five-Year Plan." For the second consecutive year, THEi has designed the ties and scarves collection for the Chief Executive, Mr John LEE Ka-chiu, and his team to wear during the delivery of the "2026 Policy Address."
A team of teachers and students from the Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Fashion Design programme at THEi has created a team badge for the "Hong Kong's First Five-Year Plan," featuring a blue theme integrated with the Chinese characters "一" (One) and "五" (Five). Two overlapping squares symbolise Hong Kong's ability to bring together diverse talent and resources to deepen high-quality development—leveraging its unique advantages of strong support from the Motherland and close global connectivity—shining brightly on the international stage as it enters a new five-year chapter of prosperity.
To mark the simultaneous publication of the "2026 Policy Address," THEi has extended the design essence of the team badge to craft the collection of ties and scarves, named "Convergence Radiance" (萬薈凝光) and "Voyage of Talents" (啟航薈萃) respectively. The collection retains fresh green hue, symbolising vitality and prosperity, while embodying talent, innovation, technology, and global connectivity. With the Northern Metropolis as its core theme, the collection symbolises a new milestone for international innovation and technology. The vibrant hub unites diverse talents like interlocking precision gears, where the convergence of technology, finance, and culture unleashes a powerful synergistic effect. This synergy serves as an incessant engine, driving sustainable prosperity and propelling the inspiration to move forward.
Professor Alan LAU Kin-tak, President of THEi, said: "Being invited to take part in this iconic official design task for two consecutive years not only highly recognises THEi's academic strength, but also helps bring new talent to the fashion industry. Through collaboration among the Government, industry, academia and research, students can transform their design concepts into tangible creations, injecting innovation and technologies into the market, and providing long-term momentum for Hong Kong's fashion industry."
Professor LAU emphasised: "Guided by our mission to promote university of applied sciences, we closely align with practical experience and adaptability. We are committed to cultivating talent with immediate work-ready capabilities, ensuring our graduates can stand firm in the ever-changing fashion landscape."
Ms Jenny CHEUNG Ling, Assistant Professor of the Department of Design and Architecture at THEi, added: "This year's creation builds on the success of last year and draws on strong support from the industry, turning two key visions behind the Northern Metropolis' forward-looking education plans—and its drive to attract global elite talent—into a piece of superior craftsmanship. It not only highlights THEi's remarkable practice-oriented education achievements, but also strongly attests to the professional skills of its students in delivering high-quality, challenging, top-level projects."
