PHASE 1:
With the theme “Beyond the Pill: Innovating Beyond the Counter”, the MyPSA Young Entrepreneur Programme (YEP) 2025 was proposed in two phases:
- Phase I (online): Conducted virtually on 1st June 2025 with a total participant count of 40 participants, ranging from undergraduates and other healthcare-related fields. It consisted of one webinar titled 'Ideation for Healthcare Solutions' and a guest student speakers’ forum, which covered the following topics:
- Introduction: Personal Motivation
- Initial Brainstorming: From Ideas to Concepts
- Preparation Phase: Slide Design & Prototyping
- Pitching / Presentation Phase: Delivery & Engagement
- Conclusion: Reflection & Takeaways
PHASE 2:
Conducted physically from 21st June 2025 to 22nd June 2025 at Taylor’s University with a total participant count of 40 participants. The two-day event featured workshops on Perfect Pitching and Business Modelling, a sharing session on Student Ideas to Commercialisation, mentor-mentee engagements, team-building games, and a pitching competition.
The program began with ice-breaking activities such as self-introductions and interactive games like Two Truths and a Lie, fostering camaraderie among students from diverse institutions. Team-building games, including Brand Charades and The CEO Maze, further encouraged collaboration, communication, and problem-solving under pressure.
Mentoring sessions served as a core component, where industry mentors provided guidance on refining ideas, strengthening business models, and preparing effective pitches. These interactions gave participants valuable insights into entrepreneurship and practical strategies to avoid common pitfalls.
