Industry-Academia Collaboration Conference 2015
13th February 2015, Putra World Trade Centre, Kuala Lumpur
We are pleased to announce that the Industry-Academia Collaboration Conference 2015 which is organised by PROTEMP Conferences Sdn. Bhd. in partnership with Steinbeis Malaysia Foundation will be held on 13th February 2015 in conjunction with Malaysia Technology Expo 2015 at the Putra World Trade Centre, Kuala Lumpur.
The Industry-Academia Collaboration Conference 2015 aims to bring together Industry and Academia to discuss, review collaboration issues and deliver a wealth of ideas for collaboration, and share successful experiences to inspire and energize efforts towards materializing successful partnerships.
Industry-Academia collaborations in Malaysia is still low compared to other regions. This could be due to a lack of trust over issues such as intellectual property, uncertainty about the potential benefits of working together, and the difficulty on both sides of finding the time for initial exploratory conversations. There is an apparent disparity between universities and businesses in the kinds of outputs that would make such collaborations seem worthwhile. While businesses may be seeking saleable products, academics prize excellent research outputs and publications. There were concerns, particularly among small businesses, that universities may not find their problems interesting enough to address, and that they didn't know who to talk to, or find out if a university could help them solve their business challenges. At this Conference we hope to address all these issues.
We have invited highly well-known speakers who are captains of industries to share with us their success stories in overcoming their business challenges. With all the relevant topics that will be presented and discussed, we hope to address the issues and challenges faced by industries and academia to forge a better and successful collaboration amongst them.
We would like to invite your esteemed organisation to participate the Industry-Academia Collaboration Conference 2015 to gain unrivaled exposure for your organisation and capitalize on extensive market reach in networking with the industries and academia researchers.
