PC EXPO 2014 and NICE2014

Hello readers! :)

I had the opportunity to visit this year's PC Expo held at the Mid Valley Exhibition Centre(MVEC). It runs from Friday, 31st Oct 2014 until Sunday, 2nd Nov 2014. It opens at 11am until 9pm-FREE Admission ;)


This is the perfect place to grab your hardwares and accessories, and do your shopping and dining under the same roof!Yeayy!!

Take some time to check out the latest gadgets from Samsung, Microsoft, Lenovo and of course for me, get my student's essentials of pendrives, sd card, printer inks.


 Oh, don't forget to grab the hourly deals..


And, my guilty pleasure was..these cute phone covers ;D



Another event happening this weekend is the National Innovation Conference and Exhibition (NICE2014) held at the Putra World Trade Centre (PWTC). It is organised by the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation (MOSTI). There are conferences, exhibition, sales of the Research & Development (R&D) product, product demonstrations and business matching sessions.


Among the participants are various agencies showcasing their products and innovative efforts in biotechnology, health, ICT,etc. Talking to the exhibitors has been an eye-opener for me, especially when talking to the young innovators. 

One school from Johor has produced the Whiteboard Automatic Duster, which solves the problem of cleaning up the whiteboard manually by the teachers ;). Using only one click of a button, the automatic duster will clean the whiteboard. The duster is crafted to be attached on the whiteboard, so the duster can clean up the whole surface of the whiteboard. The duster is powered by a electrical motor to move entire the whiteboard. 

Another school produced the Ambulance Emergency Radio Intercept System(AERIS),which is a self-programmed radio-hijacking system that intercepts other car radio channel to alert the public to give way to the ambulance on emergency nearby. For example, while we are listening to the radio, we will be alerted by the sound of the siren of the ambulance from our in-car radio. The road users will automatically make way for the ambulance to pass through.

Bravo!
  



During this exhibition, I had the opportunity to attend the talk by Malaysian Technology Development Corporation (MTDC) on funding schemes. If you have a company producing innovative products, you may seek help on getting grants and funding from them. Please visit their website at www.mtdc.com.my for more information.


That's all folks! Thank you
