The jury team evaluates starting from business proposals, talents, interests to students' abilities in presenting their proposals including how students give arguments," he explained.

"Me and the UPT team. PKK will continue to provide assistance so that their business can develop more and hopefully other students can be inspired to follow the same path next year," he said.
