6^th DIGITALISED INTERNATIONAL INVENTION, INNOVATION & DESIGN COMPETITION 2024

The organisation of innovation competitions began in 2012, involving all faculties and branch campuses to foster participation in innovation competitions at the university level. In previous years, the innovation competitions were organised at the UiTM Cawangan Johor level in compliance with the needs of RIBU. However, the year 2014 witnessed a change when the Innovation Unit, BPJI&A UiTM Cawangan Johor, began organising the Johor innovation competition, International Invention, Innovation & Design (IIID), at the international level located at Dewan Sri Temenggong (DST), UiTM Cawangan Johor. In 2015, IIID UiTM Cawangan Johor was jointly organised with UiTM Cawangan Johor Kampus Pasir Gudang and was held in Johor Bahru. The response received at IIID 2015 was very encouraging given the location of the organisation and its successful promotion. In 2017, UiTM Cawangan Johor once again managed to organise the event with great fanfare. History has been made at UiTM Cawangan Johor as it successfully made a name for itself as the first organiser of the digitalised IIID competition in 2018, at which point the name of the competition was changed to Digitalised IIID (DIIID) Johor 2018. The competition has continued to be held digitally in 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022 for the 2^nd DIIID 2019, 3^rd DIIID 2020, 4^th DIIID 2021, and 5^th DIIID 2022, respectively. 

The overwhelming response from the participants boosts the confidence of the committee members of this competition to further organise the 6^th DIIID 2024 with a hybrid approach (digitalised and face-to-face) in collaboration with the University of Lampung, Indonesia.
