Aspiring young entrepreneurs recently took centre stage, gaining invaluable insights and hands-on experience through two dynamic initiatives: the Entrepreneurial and Leadership Workshop and the Young Entrepreneurship Challenge (YEC).
The Entrepreneurial and Leadership Workshop offered students personalised mentorship from seasoned business experts. Participants walked away with practical skills and actionable strategies, ready to apply them directly to their entrepreneurial journeys. Demand for the workshop was high, with every available slot quickly filled—proof of the students’ eagerness to sharpen their leadership and business acumen.
Building on this momentum, the Young Entrepreneurship Challenge (YEC) pushed students to take their business concepts from idea to reality. Participants developed comprehensive business plans, refined their pitches through dedicated mentorship sessions, and presented their ideas to a panel of judges from Allianz and BizPod. After a competitive round of pitches, seven teams were selected to advance—among them, CycleCare, Ludius, and DTex stood out as semi-finalists, impressing the judges with their innovative solutions and entrepreneurial spirit.
Now, the journey continues as these rising startups gear up for the grand finale—a thrilling two-day retail challenge at Pavilion Bukit Jalil on 2-3 November. Competing alongside teams from other universities, they’ll have the opportunity to showcase their products, engage with real customers, and prove their business models in a competitive retail environment.
This milestone marks just the beginning of what promises to be a transformative journey. We’re excited to witness the creativity, passion, and determination of these young entrepreneurs as they take their ventures to the next level—one step closer to shaping the future of business.
