The World Digital Economy Distinguished Entrepreneur Lifetime Achievement Award : A Symbol Of Recognition For UiTM's Continuous Efforts.

THE WORLD DIGITAL ECONOMY DISTINGUISHED ENTREPRENEUR LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD: SIMBOL PENGIKTIRAFAN USAHA BERTERUSAN UiTM.

Last year, I was invited as a panellist to the Penang Future FWD Summit 2021 organised by KSI in Penang. This year, the KSI Strategic Institute for Asia Pacific hosted the World Digital Economy & Technology Summit 2022, which was held at The Majestic Hotel Kuala Lumpur from 28-29 June 2022. The event was held in collaboration with the Economic Club Kuala Lumpur and the Pacific Basin Economic Council. It was also supported by various organisations such as the Asia Leadership Roundtable and Cyber Security Malaysia.
Themed "Creating Opportunities, Endless Possibilities", the World Digital Economy & Technology Summit 2022 brought together key players in the digital economy to discuss current key trends, strategic challenges, major issues and risks impacting our digital future. This event has become a gathering of technologists, digital entrepreneurs, business leaders, policy advocates, digital natives, health experts, educators, and the general public to take stock of the future digital economy and be prepared for tomorrow.
YB Dato 'Sri Mustapa Mohamed, Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Economy), delivered the keynote address in the morning, followed by a discussion and forum session with distinguished panellists from Malaysia and abroad.
Praise be to Allah SWT, at the gala night, I was named the recipient of the World Digital Economy Distinguished Entrepreneur Lifetime Achievement Award. The award was presented by His Excellency Tun Seri Setia (Dr) Haji Mohd Ali Mohd Rustam, the Governor of Malacca.
This award recognises the efforts and contributions that have been and are being made to make UiTM a globally renowed university by 2025. We have achieved various goals and initiatives, some of which are continuously improving, and others have just begun. This recognition shows that our collective efforts are acknowledged and referred to by many external stakeholders, which in turn builds confidence and enhances the University's reputation.
UiTM will contribute to the development of competent talents in the field of digital economy. As a result, STEM and digital technology-based initiatives such as data analytics and artificial intelligence will continue to expand, in addition to collaborations with global companies such as Huawei, Apple, Microsoft, Google and Adobe.
Meanwhile, I would like to congratulate Dato’ Sri Dr Haji Irmohizam Haji Ibrahim , a member of the UiTM board of directors, who was also honoured in the Corporate CEO Lifetime Achievement category.
I thank everyone for their unwavering support of UiTM in fulfilling the national mandate of strengthening the Bumiputera through higher education, especially the digitisation agenda. ~RT
