Discussed on several item related to ICoN’s UMP activities over the past 2 years which include Industry Academia Collaboration, CEO Faculty Programs and the recent U4s.

University – Industry linkages is a challenging topic, often due to the need and aspiration mismatch between the university and industry. As an academia, it is our ultimate aim to prepare graduates that are able to address the requirements and competencies as required by the industry. However, with the rapid advancement of technology, achieving a balance between laying a solid fundamental knowledge and ability to cope with the sophistication of technology has always been a hot debate.

One thing for sure, Malaysia is in need for pool of talent. Building up a k-economy or even a k-society foundation is a must and collaboration between university and industry is a way forward.

That being said, with the recent outbreak of Covid -19, everyone need to be creative and agile to grab opportunities that strike.
