CREATIONS de UiTM: INTERNATIONAL MEGA INNOVATION CARNIVAL 2023 (CDU2023) is inspired by UiTM2025 Strategic Plan, which outlines the university’s transformation to become a leading global university of science, technology, humanities, and entrepreneurship by 2025. Innovation development is crucial to gain knowledge, information, know-how, and technology, which could offer opportunities to the institution as well as the country to achieve the national development agenda. The implementation and diffusion of new ideas and talents, as well as their continual evolution, are critical in making innovation a major catalyst that can propel Malaysia five years ahead toward the status of a developed and high-income country.

In 2023, the Centre of Foundation Studies at UiTM Cawangan Selangor Kampus Dengkil once again carries the responsibility of holding an international innovation exhibition and competition following the success of a mega exhibition and innovation competition in previous years. With the theme ”Fostering Innovation to Global Communities”, CDU2023 provides a golden opportunity for innovators from all walks of life to showcase their creativity and the spirit of innovation. This program will adapt to the new norms and be conducted in hybrid mode. The innovation competition is open virtually to both international and Malaysian innovators ranging from school students to professionals. The physical exhibition is open to UiTM industrial partners, selected primary and secondary schools, and our students to share their work with the local community. The aim of this program is to provide exposure and experience with various academic content on innovation that is not only interesting but also useful to the community. It keeps countries and innovators relevant, competitive, and adaptive, which also strengthens the culture of innovation among innovators, as a well-nurtured and optimized culture of innovation plays a pivotal role in successful innovation.
