Wow. To be honest Professor, I got tongue tied when I read


that story about you. Your successes are indeed splendid and
overwhelming. I thank you for being here today to share your
thoughts and knowledge to our audiences today.

“From Lab to Market: Sharing of World Top 2% Scientist to be


Entrepreneur”. Research in the lab for a certain purpose has
been brought out to the market and our speaker of the day is
the proof that scientists can also be an entrepreneur.
Therefore, without further ado, I would like to invite our
honourable speaker of the day to share his knowledge for this
topic to all of you.
Professor, the mic is yours.

PROFESSOR:
Thank you Nowenna. Well now (Starts sharing about Lab….)
MODERATOR:

Professor, wow, a lot can be done in the lab for sure if we


certainly know our purpose. You have definitely changed my
thoughts about science laboratory. We have a question from
one of our viewers of the day. This is a question from Sharifah
Abdul Rahman. “Professor, what kind of research should I
be doing and how did you get the idea about linking Lab to
Market?

PROFESSOR:

Hi Sharifah… Thank you for the question. (Start answering)

MODERATOR:

Well explained Professor. Sharifah, I hope your questions are


answered and that you have jot down the key points mentioned
by Professor just a moment ago.
So, Professor I think after the first question, we will be
continuing about Market right?

PROFESSOR:

Yes Nowenna. (Continue presenting)


MODERATOR:

That is so interesting Professor. In this endemic phase that we


are living in, the market is slowly coming back to normal
although living expenses are increasing for the moment.
Nonetheless, I believe, everyone is coping and slowly coming
back to how it was 2 years back before the COVID-19
pandemic started. Professor, I have to stop you from presenting
for a moment as we have a question from one of our viewers.
This is a question from Brittany Laurence. “Do we have to
innovate to enter the market?”

PROFESSOR:
Hi Brittany. Thank you for the question. (Starts answering)

MODERATOR:
Impressive response Professor. Professor, I believe we have
another question. This is a question from Brandon Gareth. “Are
there any problems with the market at this current endemic
phase?”

PROFESSOR:
Thank you for the question, Brandon. Well… (Starts answering)
MODERATOR:

Thank you Professor for answering Brandon’s question.


Brandon, are you satisfied with the answers? I believe you are
satisfied as I am as well very pleased with the answers
provided by our awesome speaker of the day.

Professor, I believe you have a lot more to share about the


topic of the day, let’s continue…

PROFESSOR:
Yes, thank you Nowenna… (Continue presenting about
Entrepreneur)

MODERATOR:

You are so lucky that you have the chance to listen to this
sharing as our speaker is a scientist and he is also an
entrepreneur. He did his research, went in the lab and lift up his
product out in the market. Tadaaa… here he is the proof of 2%
scientists can as well be an entrepreneur.

PROFESSOR:

Thank you Nowenna. May be one day, you will be an


entrepreneur as well.
MODERATOR:

I hope so Professor. Professor, ring of a bell, we have another


question from our loyal viewers. This is from Wong Chen Yin.
“Who can be an entrepreneur? Can science stream student
be an entrepreneur?”

PROFESSOR:

Interesting question. Thank you Wong Chen Yin. (Starts


answering)

MODERATOR:

I love your response to that question Professor. I believe that


question comes from a science stream secondary school
student. Professor, we have another question. This is a
question from Iskandar Hashim. “What is the main barrier of
becoming an entrepreneur?”

PROFESSOR:
Nice question. Thank you for the question Iskandar. (Starts
answering)
MODERATOR:

Awesome response Professor. Iskandar, I hope you got your


question answered.
***(Optional – If the time is not up to 2 hours) Professor, do you

share a little more for about 5 minutes) …. Starts sharing extra
points about the topic.
