Details of the event are as follows:

Day/Date: Tuesday 22 October 2019

Venue: IKIM Grand Hall


A disruptive technology is an innovation that significantly alters the practices and operations of industries or businesses. This innovation can be in the form of a ground breaking product that creates a completely new industry which displaces an established industry. The term “disruptive technology” was first coined by Joseph M. Bower and Clayton M. Christensen in 1995 in their article “Disruptive Technologies: Catching the Wave” published in Harvard Business Review.

The pace at which disruptive technologies has brought about change in our lives is made even more apparent with smart telephones becoming ubiquitous, improved wireless Internet connectivity and speed, multitude of social media applications, and increased importance of data science. Disruptive technologies have impacted many sectors such as academia, communication, banking, data storage, manufacturing, medical, publishing, transportation and mass media.

Whether we are prepared or not, we will be facing a barrage of technological innovations that will change the way in which we live our lives. Many of these innovations no doubt will bring about benefits, but there are also potential threats that await when these innovations are in place. This colloquium will deliberate upon the benefits and risks of disruptive technologies, as well as discuss the Islamic perspective on these technological innovations.

The main objectives of this Colloquium are:

i. To identify the current trend of technological innovations that will disrupt current practices and operations in Malaysia.

ii. To ascertain the benefits and risks of these disruptive technologies to the country; and

iii. To discuss the appropriate Islamic response to disruptive technologies.

Attached herewith is the Colloquium itinerary for your kind perusal. We look forward to seeing you / your reporters at the event. Thank you.

You are cordially invited to send a reporter and photographer/cameraman to cover the event.
