Event Insights

Allianz Malaysia recently hosted their AweZome Discovery Day at Taylor’s University on 2nd October 2024. This dynamic event, presented by Allianz Malaysia and supported by BizPod, gave students the unique opportunity to bring their business concepts to life. The event is part of a multi-stage competition where university students form teams, develop innovative business ideas, and compete to win up to RM6,000 cash prize and the national champion title.  

 

Aspiring young entrepreneurs recently took center stage, immersing themselves in invaluable insights and hands-on experiences through two dynamic initiatives: the Entrepreneurial & Leadership Workshop and the Young Entrepreneurship Challenge (YEC).

 

The Entrepreneurial and Leadership Workshop offered students personalised mentorship from seasoned business experts. 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.
