What is GENOVASI?

Before my literature, Pak Din ask to write about Genovasi,I have no idea about what meaning of Genovasi. I never hear that word before,maybe because I never do a research about innovation and my knowledge less because I do not read. Then, I do some research and get information about Genovasi.

Genovasi which is the combination of “Generasi” and “Inovasi” or “The Innovation Generation”. Genovasi is the innovation organization to propagate innovation and design thinking skills, creating services and solutions that improve the economy and quality of life. 

The establishment of Genovasi as an innovation organization where young Malaysians will be able to receive an induction into innovation is spearheaded by Unit Inovasi Khas (UNIK) under the Prime Minister’s office. Genovasi will provide young professionals and graduates with a one-of-a-kind opportunity to become Innovation Ambassadors via the Innovation Ambassador Development Programme.

Genovasi was established by Unit Inovasi Khas (UNIK), a unit under the Prime Minister's Department. UNIK chief executive Datuk Kamal Jit Singh says that Genovasi is a way to address the shortage of innovative minds in multi-national companies (MNCs).

Genovasi will produce Innovation Ambassadors who will be catalysts for change to spread the concepts, best practices and applications of innovation. They will actively apply the innovation skills and methodologies they have learn through Genovasi to real situations where innovation can bring about progress, a better quality of life as well as solutions for the nation.The innovation ambassadors would be the “Generasi Inovasi”, a generation of innovators  who would play an active role in enhancing and improving the country, and Genovasi would provide an avenue for youth to integrate with the nation, offering their passion and commitment to build a Malaysia that is able to reach for the stars.

Genovasi also can help us to develop future innovators through  Innovation Ambassador Programme. If you all are passionate about creating value, making a difference and making an impact in a person's experience, can be it in that community, your organization or even on a bigger scale, the Innovation Ambassador Programme may be able to help you with that. It's not just about pursuing your interest but equipping yourselves with skills to innovate, give you a headstart in developing your talents and career along the way.
