From the Desk of Chief Executive Officer
Formerly known as Students in Free Enterprise (SiFE), we have undergone rebranding strategy, Enactus was announced on September 30, 2012 at the World Cup Competition in Washington DC.
The enrollment of teams for this year has increased from 33 university teams to 36 teams in which 28 teams will be competing in Enactus Malaysia National Exposition (EMNE) representing their universities, The team expansion is due to the International Affiliation Division realignment where it is agreed that universities with two or more branches will enroll as separate entities, thus seeing UNITEN and UNIKL in the expansion effort.
With the full support from the Ministry of Education (MOE) in recognition of our signature programs, it acts as a leverage to accelerate the universities in actively enrolling more members within their teams. This strengthens the program development and management in fulfilling in the criteria of social, economic and environmental progress. Going forward with Enactus Malaysia Foundation being marked as an international non-profit organization, we have envisage in creating a broader perspective in students through Enactus Leadership Summit with the involvement of global top CEOs in the coming year. The outcome focus of the rebranding to Enactus Malaysia is to imprint a cross-generational leadership experiences between students, academic leaders and corporate partners not limited to local, but also on a global scale. With the diversified culture and environment suited with the upcoming projects, we are nurturing a marketable set of students globally and thus creating a different generation of leaders that meets the international standards and broader prospect of global needs.
Given this opportunity, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to our sponsors for being on board and the endless support towards Enactus Malaysia foundation namely Ministry of Education, Khazanah Nasional Berhard, Maybank, TalanetCoprt, KPMG in Malaysia, Media Prima, Graduan, Westports Malaysia, Microsoft and our first philantrophist in Malaysia.
