The 10 Malaysian Universities Partners With FAVORIOT
Any digital transformation starts with the people. Technology adoption will face a stumbling block if we don’t have a generation of leaders, makers, thinkers, and doers. The same goes with IoT adoption – we need the right people, the right mindset and right competencies. FAVORIOT in the quest to develop a Generation-IoT, recently partners with ten (10) Malaysian Universities to provide better hands-on skills and tools to the University students (and lecturers) in developing their IoT solutions using FAVORIOT middleware.
The list of the Universities who joined the program are listed below:
- Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM)
- Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia (UTHM)
- Universiti Kuala Lumpur (UniKL)
- Universiti Malaysia Sarawak (UNIMAS)
- Universiti Sultan Zainal Abidin (UniSZA)
- Universiti Tenaga Malaysia (UNITEN)
- Universiti Teknikal Malaysia Melaka (UTeM)
- Universiti Sains Malaysia (USIM)
- Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP)
- Asia Pacific University (APU)
It is expected about 300 graduates every year will be utilizing FAVORIOT platform for their Lab experiments, Final Year or Research projects. The program will allow more than 1500 devices to be connected to the platform.

Hi Dr Abbas, I also send you a connection on Linked in. I am a keynote speaker at a conference on Monday, speaking to 600 Higher Education Leaders on the subject of Workforce demands for IR4.0. From your article you are obviously a thought leader on this topic. Would it be possible to meet with you for 30 minutes to ask you three questions relating to how Higher Ed and Industry need to prepare for IR4.0?
