The lecture was part of the flagship MJIIT Leadership Lecture Series.The topic shared was “Japan with ASEAN and Malaysia: Looking Back on 50 Years of Japan ASEAN & 60 Years of Japan Malaysia Relationship and the Way Forward” that centred around the 60 year diplomatic relationship between Japan and Malaysia, the culmination of which, for UTM, led to the formation of the Malaysia-Japan Relationship under the Look East Policy.Dr Miyagwa also talked about the dynamic development of bilateral ties between the two countries, one that started with in the troubled times of war, but blossomed into a great friendship and partnership in the modern era. These ties were made more impactful with the collaboration between MJIIT and 29 Japanese universities of the Japanese University Consortium to support the development and progress of MJIIT in capacity building, talent and professional development of staff and students in academic and research activities. The Ambassador ended by reiterating the importance of friendship and collaboration and the way ahead for both countries.The Leadership Lecture Series is a platform for speakers to share their wealth of insights and experience with an appreciative audience and to offer them a better understanding of the social, cultural, global and environment responsibilities of a professional engineer. The series also offers more insights into the needs for sustainable development and managerial and entrepreneurial skills, and as such, should not be missed!

The inaugural Swiss Innovation Challenge Asia Project, a project of two nations, Switzerland –Malaysia, marks another successful milestone with the Grand Finale of the Business Innovation Challenge, in Universiti Teknologi Malaysia Kuala Lumpur. The 9 months long project, aimed to develop and grow businesses through commercialisation of science and technology innovations in Malaysia, kick started in January 2017 with 100 participating teams from all over Malaysia. Teams comprised of new businesses (less than 2 years old), researchers, students, and NGOs across Malaysia. This project provides the needed knowledge transfer to individuals and teams, also bridging the much highlighted industry-academia gap. Mentors for each team are selected based on their track records in business and consulting, network and expertise. The Grand Finale, happening on the 18th September 2017 in UTM KL witnessed teams pitching their innovation and business model, aiming to penetrate the global markets. As this project is strongly supported by the Ministry of Science, Technology & Innovation (MOSTI) and the Federal Commission of Science & Technology, Switzerland, the ceremony will witness the MOSTI Minister along with the Switzerland Ambassador gracing the event. Champions will win a lucrative sum of cash, USD15000 (first prize), USD5000 (2nd prize), USD3000 (3rd prize) and USD5000 (Special Prize- Internationalisation Track) – amongst the highest cash prize awarded to such challenges in Malaysia. Universiti Teknologi Malaysia’s Azman Hashim International Business School (Azman Hashim IBS) partners with the University of Applied Sciences & Arts Northwestern Switzerland (FHNW) to organise and run this exciting project. Out of 100 teams joining the project in January, the final 25 teams (finalists) will be professionally groomed by Azman Hashim IBS the next following years to introduce and sustain their businesses abroad. This pilot project of two nations brings together the industry and academia in an R&D and business setting, introducing high impact entrepreneurial projects in the long run, while championing the concept of Industry and University 4.0 at the same time. This project opens vast opportunities for new venture development, innovation and research collaborations. The multiplier effects of this project can be observed through various joint ventures and collaborations, events and project spin-offs, and there will be more to be harvested in the next few years.
