ALUMNI INSIDER

Where alumni help shape the future innovators and entrepreneurs

Beyond our academic programmes, Sunway iLabs at Sunway University offers a variety of immersive initiatives under our Inspire pillar, designed to spark innovation and entrepreneurial ambition in individuals from all backgrounds.

Through engaging experiences like hackathons, corporate bootcamps, and innovation challenges, we aim to inspire students and corporate professionals to see themselves as future innovators and entrepreneurs. By bridging theory with hands-on practice, these programmes empower participants to create impactful solutions and drive meaningful change in their respective industries and communities.

In return, alumni gain exclusive access to startup events, networking opportunities, and more, ensuring they remain at the forefront of innovation. If you’re an alumnus eager to give back while growing your professional network, we invite you to join this exciting initiative and help shape the future of innovation and entrepreneurship at Sunway.

The Sunway Alumni Entrepreneurial Network is a collaborative initiative with Sunway Alumni managed by Sunway StudentLIFE. You will be automatically signed up as Sunway Alumni with Sunway StudentLIFE when you join the network.
