The International Open University (IOU) is collaborating to hold the 2nd Globde Conference organized by the Center for Global Business and Digital Economy of Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM). The theme for this year`s conference "Business 5.0: integrating Human Centric Approaches with Technology in Global Business" was carefully selected to reflect the growing need of integrating business with technology. This is planned to take place between 29 and 30 September at Seri Pacific Hotel Kuala Lumpur and via online platform.

The collaboration through the IOU DVC (Academics) Prof. Aliyu Dahiru Muhammad is one of the high quality activities between IOU and other universities. This increases visibility of both universities at the global stage and produces quality research outputs. Atleast four academic members of the IOU will present papers during the conference while three others serve as members of the scientific committee for the conference. The IOU, as a strategic partner would feature in all the conference materials and publications among others.
