Industry Forum at UM UG iFEST 2025

A proud milestone! The Student-Led Industry Forum at UM UG iFEST 2025, themed “Designing the Future: Human-Centered Innovation for Health, Cities & Society in the Age of AI”, was successfully held, organized by the Industry Committee comprised of the Centre of Integral Learning (CITRA) and UM Centre of Industry Relations (UMCIR).

What made this forum truly meaningful was that it was student-led giving our undergraduates the opportunity to take charge, lead conversations, and engage directly with industry professionals. We believe in empowering students to step up, take ownership, and grow through real-world experiences.

The forum brought students and industry leaders together for thought-provoking conversations on how AI is shaping a more human-centric future.A heartfelt thank you to Zus Coffee for their generous sponsorship of 100 vouchers for participants and free hot coffee for our panelists. ☕💙
