YIC 2017 was a huge success. We had attracted some multiracial teams from various parts of Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand, Singapore and Indonesia. We had received 480 proposals which is an increase from last year but only 117 teams were selected. From the 117 teams selected, 102 teams participated in the Grand Finale. Even the number of participating teams had increased from last year.
Our survey shows a high satisfactory level of all of our stakeholders. We believe that this program can be a platform for young creative and inventive students to showcase their talent and possibly build their career in this area.
