PUNCAK ALAM, 6th June 2023 – The Faculty of Health Sciences successfully hosted the Entrepreneurship Festival (FSK E-Fest) from May 29th to 31st, 2023. This program was organized in collaboration with the Student Secretariat of the Faculty (SMF) of Health Sciences and the Malaysian Academy of SME & Entrepreneurship Development (MASMED) UiTM. The festival served as a platform aimed at fostering entrepreneurship, creative thinking, and innovation among the students of the Faculty of Health Sciences.
One of the festival’s main draws was a booth sale run by the student association. The students were given the opportunity to launch their own retail locations and display the products and services they had developed. The students were enthusiastic about promoting and selling their products, which included anything from nutritious food to cosmetics. Additionally, the “Start-up Pitching” competition took over FSK E-Fest 2023. This competition was held to highlight the student’s entrepreneurship skills and ideas.
Participants had to prepare a business proposal and present their product ideas within a strict 5-minute time limit. The competition allowed the students an opportunity to showcase their originality by developing, marketing, and coming up with new business ideas that would impress the judges.
The FSK Entrepreneurship Week also featured entrepreneurial speakers. Entomal Biotech Sdn Bhd was one of the business executives asked to speak about their experiences, difficulties, and tactics for creating successful enterprises in order to motivate students. The speakers’ insightful knowledge inspired the students to pursue careers in business. The faculty developed this platform in the hopes that students would be able to combine their knowledge of the health sciences with their entrepreneurial talents, giving them a broader perspective and additional job options in healthcare entrepreneurship.
The Entrepreneurship Festival of the Faculty of Health Sciences has enlivened and encouraged students to realize their potential in entrepreneurship. With a variety of fun and beneficial activities, this festival has provided the students of the Faculty of Health Sciences with a memorable experience and helped to foster an entrepreneurial spirit.
