WINNER'S RESULTS - PUNB UNI-CHALLENGE 2024 X UPM

Perbadanan Usahawan Nasional Berhad (PUNB) in collaboration with Universiti Putra Malaysia organises PUNB UniChallenge 2024, a competition based on the concept of Social Entrepreneurship which is specially designed to unearth entrepreneurial talents among students.

The PUNB Uni-Challenge is a testament to the commitment of PUNB x UPM in producing entrepreneurs who can contribute to the country's economy through a social and sustainable approach. Through this program, it is hoped that it will be a platform for students to create change in the community through fresh ideas and business innovation.

In this programme, participants and mentors among UPM lecturers and staff will work closely with local entrepreneurs in implementing business strategy plans that can be practiced and promoted through various digital platforms.
