| Johor Bahru, 2025 – Fulkrum Digital Sdn Bhd was invited as a panelist at the Johor Industrial Fair 2025, joining a distinguished dialogue on “Bridging Industry & Academia: Workforce Development for the Johor–Singapore Special Economic Zone (SEZ). The Johor Singapore SEZ is a cross border economic zone designed to deepen trade, investment, and talent flows between Johor and Singapore. It also serves as a proving ground for how talent, technology, and industry can align at scale, a decisive factor in building resilient, competitive, and sustainable supply chains. |
| Representing Fulkrum Digital, Mr Mohd Izzat, Founder & Managing Director, joined an esteemed panel moderated by Datin Lorela Chia, Founding President of MASSCI. Other panelists included Mr Ser Khoon Toh, Senior Director, Singapore Polytechnic, Ir. Dr. Mohd Azman Abas, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, Dr. Teoh Boon Yew, General Manager, ASPL (Malaysia) Sdn. Bhd. “Keeping the educational sector up to date in the age of face-paced AI is a matter of national survival” said Mr. Mohd Izzat, adding that “problem solving and other soft skills are more important than ever now as these are where human performs better than AI – hence academia must double-down on these non-technical skills” |
| The Johor Industrial Fair 2025 marks a pivotal step in advancing collaboration between education and industry within the SEZ corridor. As Johor and Singapore deepen their economic integration, aligning talent development with technological change is essential to sustain regional growth and innovation. |
| The panel emphasized that education must keep up with industry changes through regular curriculum updates and closer collaboration with companies. A strong workforce needs both technical and digital skills, as well as the ability to work across cultures. The Johor–Singapore SEZ reflects how talent and innovation can drive sustainable growth. Fulkrum Digital continues to support this vision by promoting workforce development, innovation, and technology for long-term progress. |
