Background

In the global competitive environment that we live in today, brain power has become the most important success factor for any economies in the world. Developing and developed countries have spent significant effort and resources in developing human resources. One important aspect of human resource development is innovativeness and creativity. Without such attributes the workforce will never be able to create new technology and economic opportunities that can alleviate an economy to the higher level. Entrepreneurial spirit and skill are essential aspects that should be focused on in human resource development if a nation is to be transformed into a knowledge based economy.

In Malaysia it is important to develop a workforce which not only excels technically and professionally but also in opportunities and wealth creation. The development of such workforce should be emphasized in the university. The mindset of the students should be changed to one with strong awareness and courage to start own businesses. Although it is often argued that entrepreneurial instinct cannot be taught through formal education university can at least help to create the awareness, provide training in related skill set, support and nurture students with entrepreneurial interest and instinct.

It is hoped the above objective can be achieved by having experienced business entrepreneurs to talk and share experience with the university community.
