Calling F&B, Beauty & Wellness, and Education & Training businesses in Penang — help a final-year student's research project.

Digital Penang is helping final-year Computer Science students from INTI International College Penang find local businesses willing to participate in their research project, ARIA — an AI "what-if" simulation tool they've built to help micro and small business owners think through decisions like raising prices, opening a second outlet, or a supplier's cost going up.

This is the students' own research project, and we're simply lending our reach to help them connect with a small number of willing businesses, as part of our role supporting Penang's SME community.

Looking for 3–5 businesses from each of these sectors:

🍜 Food & Beverage — hawker-style cafés, kopitiam, modern cafés, dessert cafés

💆 Beauty, Massage & Spa — hair salons, barbershops, reflexology centres, spa & massage centres
📚 Education & Training — tuition centres, professional training providers, language centres, skills development programmes

What participating businesses get:
✅ A free session using the prototype on your own business scenario — yours to keep
✅ A participation letter from INTI — useful documentation for future grant or programme applications

✅ Recognition for supporting Penang's tech talent pipeline
✅ Just 15–20 minutes, no cost, no obligation

Note: this outreach is scoped specifically to this INTI cohort and sector list — we're not able to extend the same support to other student projects at this time.
