Introduction
of company

The University Grants Committee (UGC) of Hong Kong is a non-statutory advisory body established to guide the development and funding of higher education in the region. Appointed by the Chief Executive, the UGC comprises local and international academics, university administrators, and community leaders, advising the government on the strategic needs of eight publicly funded universities, including The University of Hong Kong, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, and The Hong Kong Polytechnic University. Beyond funding allocation—provided as block grants—the UGC oversees quality assurance through the Quality Assurance Council (QAC) and drives research innovation via the Research Grants Council (RGC), managing competitive schemes like the General Research Fund and Collaborative Research Fund. With a mission to advance Hong Kong as a global education hub, the UGC fosters teaching excellence, research impact, and knowledge exchange with society. Onebox Creative Group partnered with the UGC to enhance its digital infrastructure and refine its public-facing brand, amplifying its role in shaping higher education.

Why need us?

01

Modernized Digital Presence for Stakeholder Engagement

The UGC’s complex oversight of funding, quality, and research required a streamlined digital platform to connect with universities, government, and the public. OBC developed a custom website with integrated tools—such as funding dashboards and research grant portals—enhancing transparency and accessibility for all stakeholders.

02

Strategic Branding to Reflect Educational Leadership

To reinforce its authority as a cornerstone of Hong Kong’s higher education, the UGC needed a cohesive brand identity. OBC’s branding strategy services crafted a professional, forward-thinking image that aligns with its mission to promote quality education and research, strengthening its credibility on local and global stages.

03

Scalable Digital Solutions for Research and Quality Assurance

Managing the RGC and QAC demanded robust, adaptable digital systems. OBC delivered cloud-based solutions and ESG-aligned reporting tools, enabling the UGC to efficiently track research funding, monitor university performance, and expand its initiatives, like knowledge transfer programs, with precision and impact.
