Unique Focus on Mental Health and Counselling
Unlike general innovation competitions, INNOCARE 2025 is dedicated to the
fields of counselling, mental health and wellness — addressing some of the
most critical issues in today’s post-pandemic society.
Hybrid Global Participation
The competition adopts a hybrid format (online and face-to-face), making it
accessible to both local and international participants. This inclusivity
expands collaboration opportunities and ensures a diverse range of
innovative solutions.
Diverse Categories of Innovation
By offering four distinctive categories: Counselling Technology, Psychosocial
Intervention, Mental Health Literacy and Healthy Institution/School Initiatives
— INNOCARE 2025 creates space for creativity across multiple dimensions of
mental health innovation.
Collaboration Between Academia, Industry & Community
The event unites academics, practitioners, students, government bodies,
NGOs and the private sector, fostering rich collaborations that extend beyond
the competition itself.
Platform for Recognition & Networking
INNOCARE 2025 provides participants with the opportunity to gain
recognition, showcase innovations and network internationally while also
supporting UPSI’s mission to become the leading education university
championing mental health development.
High Impact on Society
With the theme “Healing Minds, Changing Lives”
, the program is not just
about competition but about creating real-world solutions that improve
mental well-being and strengthen the role of counselling as a professional
support system.
