Three graduates from Vancouver's Simon Fraser University will be spending a month in the territory after winning the annual MBA Canada-Hong Kong Trade Competition.
Organised by the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, the competition requires entrants to submit a 40-page business plan, describing how new products or services could be marketed in Hong Kong.
The winning project - Bringing Fresh Ginseng Roots to the Pacific Rim - proposes the export of the spice from Vancouver.
Alvin Lee, executive director of the Chamber of Commerce, said when students Yvette Myra Castro, Ivy Chan and Xiao Ming Max arrive on Saturday for a one-month stay, they would study how to carry out their plan in Hong Kong.
'This is moving from the idea stage to the practical stage, in which students see whether they can carry out the plan,' Mr Lee said.
The three business Masters graduates will get a month's free accommodation and their air fare from Canada.
