Previous challenge The inaugural Young Inventors Challenge was initiated by Philips Malaysia in 2004 and organised once again in 2005 as part of its sustainability efforts in Malaysia. The challenge provided Malaysian undergraduates and postgraduates a choice platform to explore and develop creative ideas which may improve the lives and living environment of Malaysians. Opened to all institutions of higher learning registered with the Malaysian Ministry of Higher Education. Inventions must use at least one of the following Philips Semiconductors Thrust products Identification chips or/and Microcontroller. The challenge was successfully executed with 133 entries received from 18 tertiary institutions, which noted a 87 per cent increase in concept papers as compared to 71 entries received last year. Out of the 14 teams qualified for the finals, eleven hailed from Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, Skudai, Johor. The remaining three were from University Tunku Abdul Rahman (UTAR), Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) and University College Sedaya International (UCSI). CONFIDENTIAL 4
Success of the challenge Amongst the inventions presented by the finalist teams were prototypes to increase convenience and seamless transactions in today s lifestyle and day-to-day activities. The less fortunate were also not forgotten as there were inventions to help the blind, deaf and senior citizens Utusan Malaysia, August 13, 2005 The Sun, August 5, 2005 CONFIDENTIAL 5
