In August 2026, MMU showcased its innovation capabilities and strengthened its engagement with industry through its participation in Infineon Melaka Innovation Week 2026, themed “Accelerate Innovation-to-Customer Value”, held in Melaka.
Representing MMU at the event were Mr Vincent Chan, Ms Cheryl Chan and Mr Wong Shin Chen from the Faculty of Business (FOB), who presented two innovative educational solutions, Jayden’s Story Board Game and Jayden’s Story Deck AI. Combining gamification, storytelling and Artificial Intelligence (AI), the solutions are designed to support children’s confidence, communication and English language development, demonstrating how emerging technologies can be applied to address real-world learning needs.
The MMU team had the opportunity to present the innovations directly to Infineon Melaka’s top management, providing a valuable platform to demonstrate the university’s capabilities in developing practical, technology-driven solutions. The engagement also opened opportunities for knowledge exchange and further collaboration between MMU and the industry.
The event showcased Infineon Melaka’s culture of innovation through 14 technical papers and 10 posters presented by employees from various departments, highlighting innovations across areas including agentic AI, digitalisation, decarbonisation and package improvements. The event was attended by Mr Eng Seng Meng, Managing Director of Infineon Melaka, together with members of the company’s management and innovation community.
The MMU team was also accompanied by representatives from the MMU Student Recruitment Office, further strengthening the university’s engagement with the industry. MMU’s participation reflects its commitment to translating ideas and academic expertise into practical solutions while creating meaningful opportunities for university–industry knowledge exchange. Through platforms such as Innovation Week, MMU continues to connect ideas with industry, transform innovation into practical solutions and create impact beyond the university.
