About InvENT2024
Universiti Teknologi MARA is proud to host the International Conference on Innovation and Entrepreneurship in Computing, Engineering, and Science Education 2024, or in short, InvENT2024, a signature programme of the Asia Technological University Network (ATU-Net), which was inaugurated in 2023 in Brunei. This event will also be co-hosted by the University of Science and Technology of the Southern Philippine (USTP). The event will be held in Shah Alam, the capital of Selangor, between 20 and 22 August 2024. The theme of the event is Converging Innovation with Soul: AI in Entrepreneurship, Technology, and Education. The theme was selected in accordance with the growing concern about the fast-growing development of AI, which has now transcended almost every aspect of living. The AI industry itself is said to be a capital that can boost the Malaysian economy. As it grows, it raises questions about itself and our future in this world. This event is therefore set up as a platform that will collate information from academics, industry, and government sectors through powerful speeches, informative exhibitions, and paper presentations on AI use and development in computing, engineering, science, and entrepreneurship. A special highlight will be the plenary on the first day and the officiating speech by the Malaysian Prime Minister, the YAB Dato’ Seri Anwar Ibrahim, whose speech will be about integrating and guiding AI into civilized society as prescribed in Malaysia’s National Artificial Intelligence (AI) Roadmap 2021-2025. The second-day plenary will be by a well-known and much-respected AI proponent and editor-in-chief of a few respected peer-reviewed journals, Prof. Dr. Hamido Fujita, who will be talking about AI technology, innovation, application, and education.
