The Faculty of Management (FOM) recently hosted the FOM Sejati MADANI Business Ideas Exposition 2026, bringing together creativity, innovation, and entrepreneurial spirit in a vibrant showcase of student talent in June 2026.

Coordinated by Dr. Muhammad Nizam Zainuddin and Dr. Azrena Mohd Noor, the exposition provided a practical platform for students to translate classroom knowledge into real-world applications. Each team presented business concepts, prototypes, and solutions designed to address current market and community needs. Throughout the session, students demonstrated strong creativity, critical thinking, and pitching skills, while gaining valuable feedback from experienced evaluators.
