PRESIDEN TECHNOLOGICAL ASSOCIATION MALAYSIA

Bapak Supriyanto from Forum Kerjasama Pendidikan Tinggi Medan, fellow ICrIPE or
International Creative and Innovative Product Exhibition participants.

A very good morning to all!!

Welcome to the inaugural International Creative and Innovative Product Competition to
encourage fellow practitioners, academics, educators, students and inventors to compete in a
friendly manner and expose new ideas and innovation among all participants.

Technological Association Malaysia or TAM is happy to jointly collaborate with Forum
Kerjasama Pendidikan Tinggi Medan; a consortium of more than 50 institution of higher
learning in Indonesia to organise this international event; held online. There are participants
from Indonesia, South Korea, Laos and Malaysia with more than 200 groups participating in
this event held on a virtual platform. Participants will be competing in 15 categories, ranging
from Civil, Mechanical, Electrical and Electronics, Digital Programming to Health to name a
few.

Technological Association of Malaysia is an organisation for all levels and disciplines of
technologists, from the professionals to students and everyone whose career is technological
in nature. Our association for technologist is intimately concerned with the advances in
technological progress as well as the pursuit of knowledge in the field of technology.
It is the melting pot of technological exchanges amongst members from many walks of life. It
provides a forum for discussion, evaluation of technological issues and advances.
TAM is also the Technological Expert Panel of Malaysia Board of Technologist and also the
Malaysian representative for engineering technologist in the ASEAN Engineering Register.
Our commitment to bring about a clearer understanding and appreciation of technology and
to instil among members an impelling desire to achieve professional competence and the
highest standard of technological skills.

Hence, this creative and innovative product competition reflects well on the aims of the leading
technological association in Malaysia to encourage new ideas and creative energy among the
new generation.

I dearly hope this international event will be a great success and be the springboard for further
development among the young minds, be they be academicians, students, inventors or
technologist.

With this, I conclude my short speech. Thank you very much.
