10. As a mentor to the younger engineers at Xilinx, 39-year-old Lim Siok Wei, an Integrated Circuit Design Manager, said IC Design is an ideal career for those who are interested in learning new things and do not want to do the same thing every day.

This bottleneck needs to be removed if Vietnam is to integrate globally. … [Read more...] about Economists chant private sector mantra as Party Congress deliberates
Toyota Mobility Foundation Announces Six Finalists for the City Architecture for Tomorrow Challenge
Despite the continuing impact of COVID-19, the CATCH program progressed through the application stage in May, receiving over 90 entries from 20+ countries. Then the Semi-Finalist stage finished in December. In this stage with tremendous support and insights from our strategic and data partners, the Semi-Finalists obtained an understanding of Kuala Lumpur's mobility issues for their Proof of Concept (PoC) development over a 6-week period. An esteemed panel of 8 judges from various fields of expertise such as government, sustainable mobility, venture capital, technology, and industry virtually assessed the 16 Semi-Finalists. After careful consideration and based on the feedback from the judges, TMF identified six teams as Finalists rather than five teams as originally planned. The following six teams are deemed to be best suited to CATCH's problem statement and the five assessment criteria of creativity, feasibility, sustainability, desirability and technicality. These teams will be … [Read more...] about Toyota Mobility Foundation Announces Six Finalists for the City Architecture for Tomorrow Challenge
