GMI Engages BMW Group Malaysia for Potential Collaboration

Kajang, 26 June 2025 – BMW Group Malaysia visited the German-Malaysian Institute (GMI) to explore potential partnerships in technical education and workforce development. Mr. Sashi Ambi, Head of Corporate Communications at BMW Group Malaysia, led the delegation, which included senior representatives from the company’s training division.

Tuan Haji Ahmad Solihin bin Mohamed Yusoff, CEO of GMI, led the discussion session with BMW Group Malaysia representatives.

During the meeting, both organisations explored multiple collaboration opportunities to bridge industry and academia. Proposed initiatives include enhancing GMI’s automotive curriculum with BMW’s expertise to align academic programmes with industry demands, establishing graduate trainee placements at BMW, and providing specialized language training for BMW employees. This partnership may also offer industry attachment programmes for GMI instructors.
