iNVENTX 2025 Showcases Innovation by MMU Students, Staff, and Young Inventors

Nearly 1,000 participants took part in a vibrant celebration of innovation and entrepreneurship at iNVENTX 2025 on 21 July 2025 at Dewan Tun Canselor, MMU Cyberjaya. Held concurrently with DIFCON, the event buzzed with energy through 25 kids’ prototype booths, 21 classical projects, 68 live pitches across six dens, 85 striking artworks in the e-Gallery, and 235 virtual booths.

This year’s edition featured six themed Pitch Dens, with over 80 projects showcased. Participants impressed judges and visitors alike with ideas ranging from AI-powered learning apps, virtual storytelling tools, and cultural product designs to biofuel innovations and mental health tech. Adding to the excitement, the Pitch4TATER Competition challenged participants to rethink the humble potato through creative, sustainable product ideas.

This one-day event wrapped up with an award ceremony recognising outstanding entries. Prizes were presented across categories such as best posters, top project exhibits, creative design, and innovation.
