<strong>Peking</strong> <strong>University</strong>, Beijing, Nov 16: Dr. Lee Kai-fu shared his experiences <strong>of</strong><br />

entrepreneurship with potential young entrepreneurs from <strong>Peking</strong> <strong>University</strong> on Nov<br />

13, in his lecture "On the Future <strong>of</strong> Innovation."<br />

Lee, founder and CEO <strong>of</strong> "Innovation Works," delivered his speech to <strong>PKU</strong> students,<br />

specifically introducing the ideals and missions <strong>of</strong> his newly-established project that<br />

focuses on young entrepreneurs.<br />

Prior to the lecture held by the Chinese Communist Youth League <strong>PKU</strong> Committee,<br />

Dr. Lee met with Zhang Yan, Vice-chairman <strong>of</strong> <strong>PKU</strong> Council, and Lü Chenfei,<br />

Secretary <strong>of</strong> <strong>PKU</strong> Youth League. They have made consensus to promote the<br />

entrepreneurial education and improve relevant capabilities such as career planning<br />

among university students.<br />

Dr. Lee, who was honored "instructor for students' employment and<br />

entrepreneurship" during the meeting, pledged to continue his support for future<br />

entrepreneurs from <strong>Peking</strong> <strong>University</strong>.<br />

Dr. Lee opposed confining "innovation" only to scientific and technological senses;<br />

the "business model innovation" also needs more concern. From three perspectives,<br />

timing, geographic advantages and harmony at home ("opportune"), he analyzed the<br />

current Chinese market as well as challenges and opportunities <strong>of</strong> entrepreneurial<br />

innovation, encouraging <strong>PKU</strong> students to be fully prepared for future career markets.<br />

Dr. Lee also interacted with <strong>PKU</strong> students in the Q&A session after the lecture. He<br />

answered questions on various issues - from the innovative activities on campus, to<br />

the development <strong>of</strong> innovative domestic enterprises; from the trend <strong>of</strong> changes<br />

among innovators, to the insight into the educational patterns and ideals. Many<br />

students, inspired by Dr. Lee's speech, expressed their ambitions to embrace their<br />

"innovative future."<br />
