Accelerating Penang's Digital Economy

From screen to hands-on: watch the stories, try the tech.🎥💻
⠀
At Creative Living Labs, you can watch an AI-generated drama, discover games and AI characters, and try tech prototypes built by university founders. The best part? You can meet the people behind each project and hear how it came together. 🎬🕹️
⠀
Bring your curiosity and your opinions. Which scene made you want to keep watching? What surprised you about a demo? What would make a prototype more useful in your daily life? Tell the founders while your feedback can still shape what they build next. 💬

The way customers discover and engage with businesses is changing.😭
⠀
Today, your customers may not just Google your business. They could be asking ChatGPT, Gemini, or Google AI which company to consider, what solution to choose, or who they should buy from.
⠀
⚠️Will your business show up when they ask? And when an enquiry finally comes in, there’s another question: 🤔Is your sales team following up effectively before the opportunity goes cold?
⠀
In just 3 hours, discover how your business can adapt to the way customers search today and how your sales team can better manage, follow up, and convert the opportunities that come in. 👏
⠀
Join us at 𝐒𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐀 𝐇𝐲𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐥𝐨𝐤𝐚𝐥 𝐀𝐈 𝐅𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔 and learn how to strengthen both sides of your customer journey: getting discovered and turning enquiries into customers.
