“The bedrock of civil societies is education. It is what Hong Kong’s success as a service platform for Asia and the world is made of. This conviction was also deeply rooted with the late Chairman of Jebsen & Co., Ltd, Michael Jebsen, who shared his lifelong dedication to the development of Hong Kong and cross-cultural bridge building with his forebears: his grandfather, Michael Jebsen (1835-1899), who founded a shipping company in Aabenraa, Denmark and his father, Jacob Jebsen (1870-1941), who established a trading business in Hong Kong in the 19th century.

We are deeply honored that the world-renowned academic Professor James Thong has consented to accept the Professorship set up in the name of my late uncle and predecessor Michael Jebsen. Hong Kong is indeed fortunate as a hub of scientific research and academia to attract individuals who, owing to their world-class caliber, will take our community to new heights.”
