The roundtable brought together policymakers, industry leaders, technology providers, and academia to discuss innovation, infrastructure, workforce advancement, and the role of TVET in driving the e-mobility ecosystem. 

GMI’s Commitment to Industry-Ready Talent

Tuan Haji Ahmad Solihin stressed the importance of globally recognised accreditation, pointing to GMI’s IMI-certified Hybrid & EV Systems Lab and eight IMI-certified lecturers.

GMI’s latest edition, and our commitment to providing our autotronics students with autonomous driving technology.

Beyond that, GMI houses 22 Advanced Technology Centres, with the autotronics curriculum evolving from engine simulation to BMW i3, Hybrid Volkswagen Jetta, and Hyundai Kona platforms, while now integrating autonomous vehicle technology. To ensure industry alignment, GMI’s Industry Advisory Council provides direct feedback to refine both diploma and short-term professional courses.
