Most important, 2011 was a positive experience for MyTRIZ and we wished to thank the sponsors namely Multimedia Development Corporation, Intel and various universities for the support. If you would like more AGM information, you can download the presentations from MyTRIZ website.
With the success achieved in 2011 and the Association firmly committed to its goals, we continue to share the TRIZ knowledge with more academicians. 8 TRIZ classes were organized at USIM, Cybernectic International College of Technology, Universiti Malaysia Sabah, Universiti Putra Malaysia, Universiti Tun Hussien Onn Malaysia, Kolej Damansara Utama and Universiti Teknologi Mara.
