On 15th July, INSTEP charts ahead for institutional synergy and the shared mission of advancing PETRONAS and Malaysia’s renewable energy (RE) capability development, with a conversation with Universiti Malaysia Terengganu (UMT).
Lead by INSTEP’s Acting CEO and General Manager of Learning Academy, Ts. Azhar bin Ahmad, the courtesy visit centered around key discussions with UMT’s Vice Chancellor, Prof. Ir. Ts. Dr. Mohd Zamri bin Ibrahim.
Both leaders exchanged views on the RE value chain and the ongoing collaboration between both institutions towards capability development centered around harnessing the Centre for Offshore Renewable Energy (CEFORE) project.
Naturally, the conversation evolved into how CEFORE could complement INSTEP’s work—not only by offering structured upskilling opportunities but also by co-developing new solutions grounded in local needs such as edu-tourism.
Both parties expressed intent to explore areas such as technical collaboration, knowledge exchange, and regional projects. Also present from UMT were Prof. Ir. Ts. Dr. Mohd Zamri bin Ibrahim, Vice-Chancellor; Prof. Madya Dr. Mohd Asamudin A. Rahman, Head of Programme and Associate Professor at the Faculty of Ocean Engineering Technology (FTKK); and Dr. Mohd Afifi bin Jusoh, Lecturer at FTKK.
As both institutions look ahead to a more sustainable energy future, the potential for impactful partnership is immense, especially in realising the PETRONAS Energy Transition Academy (P-ETA). INSTEP looks forward to turning this dialogue into tangible action.
