Dr Pannirselvam Kanagaratnam, Chief Technology Officer of MIMOS Berhad, represented the organisation as a distinguished panellist at the HELP University Annual Convocation’s 24th Strategy Symposium 2025. The symposium, themed ‘The Imagination of Technology and Design,’ took place at the Shangri-La Hotel in Kuala Lumpur.
MIMOS emphasised that true innovation stemmed from bold imagination, a quality Dr Pannirselvam embodied. While discussions often gravitated towards AI, IoT, and robotics, MIMOS believed that the most impactful innovations arose from combining human creativity with scientific rigour to solve national challenges and create real-world impact.
Dr Pannirselvam joined a dynamic panel moderated by Professor Datuk Dr Paul Chan, alongside Professor Dr Changbo Jiang, President, Hunan University of Technology, and Kian Seah, CEO & Founder, Heng Hiap Industries. Together, they explored how imagination was a driving force behind the next wave of technological design, impacting areas from sustainability to digital transformation and beyond.
This engagement signified more than just a conversation; it was a call to reimagine technology’s potential, prioritising design thinking, innovation, and national progress. MIMOS proudly highlighted its commitment to shaping the future with purpose through such platforms.
