For nearly 35 years, SEM has been operating as a global programme. Since 2010, a number of Pakistani universities have been participating in SEM Asia that has been previously hosted in Malaysia, Singapore and the Philippines.

This global event brings together more than 100 student teams from across 21 countries from Asia and the Middle East. Furthermore, it is serving as a learning platform for indigenous students to interact with and bring home best practices from their counterparts from across the globe.

In addition to that, the students who participated in the event appreciated the worthy guidance provided by their mentors and industry experts to stay ready for the regional and global SEM competition next year.
