SaYBIC 23 a great platform for young creative entrepreneurs, says don

MIRI (June 29): It is crucial that students of higher education institutions (IPTs) in Sarawak are not only competitive, but also resilient in the face of global economic challenges, says Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM) Sarawak’s Faculty of Business Management associate professor Dr Jati Kasuma. Thus, the organising of Sarawak Youth Business Idea Competition 2023 (SaYBIC 23) is regarded as ‘appropriate and timely’, in sharing and generating innovative entrepreneurial ideas and sustainable business models among the tertiary students in Sarawak, he adds. “SaYBIC 23 plays an important role in nurturing the interest of these students to build a creative and innovative business empire.“In fact, with a platform like SaYBIC 23, we can see students produce extraordinary ideas that have the potential to be developed into businesses that are competitive not only at the national level, but also at the global level,” the academician said in his speech for the final round of SaYBIC 23, which took place at the civic centre here yesterday.
