Creative 8 of the Sarawak Timber Industry Development Corporation (STIDC), Mukah are among the 20 finalists for this year’s state-level Innovation and Creative Circle (ICC) convention held in Kuching from Wednesday until Thursday, 30 September through 1 October.
This year, the introduction of a new stage design is a new feature for this term’s convention. Creative 8 were one of the first few teams to present their project aimed at shortening time taken to identify wood species.
