Welcome to ICEBM 2025!
On behalf of Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) and our esteemed collaborator, Meiji University, Japan, it is my great honor to welcome you to the 13th International Conference on Engineering Business Management (ICEBM 2025). This year’s conference, themed “AI-Driven Innovations: Shaping the Future of Engineering, Business, and Management,” promises to be a landmark event, bringing together leading academics, researchers, industry professionals, and students from around the globe. As we gather in Kuala Lumpur from 23rd to 25th August 2025, we aim to explore the transformative role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in driving innovation across engineering, business, and management disciplines. This conference serves as a platform to share cutting-edge research, foster interdisciplinary collaboration, and discuss sustainable solutions to the challenges of our rapidly evolving world. ICEBM 2025 is a testament to the enduring partnership between UTM and Meiji University, a collaboration that has flourished through our Double Masters Program since 2011. Over the years, this conference has grown into a premier international forum, providing a unique opportunity for postgraduate students and academics from both institutions to present their research, exchange ideas, and strengthen professional networks. We are thrilled to host an exceptional lineup of keynote speakers, workshops, and paper presentations that will delve into topics such as AI applications, Business, supply chain management, innovation management, and much more.

Meiji University, Tokyo, Japan
I have been involved in the double degree program between BATC, the predecessor of UTM’s AI School, and the Graduate School of Business Administration at Meiji University since its inception. At that time, virtual meeting infrastructure was not yet well developed, and the establishment of the program required numerous trips between Malaysia and Japan. Aligning the educational systems of our two countries was no simple task and demanded the dedicated collaboration of all those involved.
The International Conference on Engineering Business Management (ICEBM) was founded as a symbol of the strong academic and educational partnership between our institutions. I would like to express my sincere appreciation to everyone who has contributed to the success of this program and to this important conference.
This year’s ICEBM is particularly meaningful, as it marks the renaming of the Razak School to the AI School—an important step in UTM’s academic advancement. I am confident the AI School will continue to thrive as a center for cutting-edge research and innovation.
At Meiji University’s School of Business Administration, we have begun integrating digital technologies into our curriculum and plan to expand these efforts at the graduate level. In this context, our double degree program with AI school is more relevant than ever.
I hope that the close relationship between our two universities will continue to flourish and lead to even greater achievements in education and research.
Thank you and Terima Kasih !
