The Uni-Challenge programme at Universiti Malaysia Sarawak (UNIMAS), in collaboration with Perbadanan Usahawan Nasional Berhad (PUNB), nurtures student-led social entrepreneurship startups by providing mentorship, guidance, and prize funding. Student teams receive support from faculty and industry experts to develop innovative business ideas that address community needs while promoting financial sustainability. Through competitions, workshops, and hands-on mentoring, participants gain skills in business planning, marketing, and operations. Prize money, such as the RM7,000 awarded in Uni-Challenge 2024, helps fund early-stage startup activities, enabling students to turn ideas into socially impactful ventures that contribute to local economic growth and community development.

The Impact Digital Community Tourism (IDCT) project by Universiti Malaysia Sarawak (UNIMAS), in collaboration with the Ministry of Higher Education and the UNIMAS Entrepreneurship Centre, empowers local communities to develop financially and socially sustainable businesses through digital marketing and business development. The programme engages community entrepreneurs such as traditional craft and songket businesses in Gedong through hands-on workshops, mini showcases, and mentorship from UNIMAS students and faculty. Participants gain practical skills in online promotion, e-commerce, and customer engagement, enhancing their market reach and sales. By combining education, resources, and direct guidance, IDCT fosters long-term community entrepreneurship, economic growth, and social impact.
