Thus, the objectives of the Conference are as follows:

1. To serve as a platform for the industries, relevant authorities and higher institutions of learning to discuss issues and challenges faced by the industry so that a workable plan as well as strategies towards the global competitiveness of the industry could be proposed.


2. To obtain and disseminate information to all the stakeholders of the industry so as to encourage knowledge sharing
