"Alhamdulillah, this is the tenth time, spanning over a period of two decades, that
Universiti Teknologi Brunei and Brunei LNG Sendirian Berhad have co-organised
the Crown Prince CIPTA Award since it was first launched in 2004. The continuous
collaboration between UTB and Brunei LNG in organising this prestige event has
been able to discover creative and innovative individuals among the Brunei nation
and ASEAN member states, contributing towards the current global needs and
opportunities."
"Innovation is key to CIPTA Award and the new theme which will be revealed
shortly centres around United Nations Sustainable Development Goals or SDGs.
This theme promotes innovations based on the 17 SDG elements that will
contribute towards the benefit of the social, environmental conservation and
economic prosperity, to better protecting the natural foundations of life and our
planet for everyone, as well as, preserving people's opportunities to live in dignity
and prosperity across the generations."
"UTB has been giving support to SDG elements through various ongoing research
collaborations with the government and industries, such as SDG 11 on
“Sustainable Cities and Communities” with a research on Relay Station Network
based on Low-Power Wide Area Network (LPWAN) Technologies for Disaster
Management by Centre of Innovative Engineering (CIE), SDG 12 on “Responsible
Consumption and Production” is a research for the development of biodegradable
food packaging and food waste management by Centre of Research and Agrifood
Science and Technology (CrAFT) and SDG 13 on “Climate Action” is a research on
Tidal Energy Resources in Brunei’s water. Furthermore, UTB also incorporates
SDG-related topics into the curriculum to create understanding and awareness
among the students."

The abstract motifs which surround the globe indicate that this award is a stepping stone for Bruneians to be at par with other international counterparts.
The use of colours in the logo represents the hard work that potential local inventors experience in creating fresh ideas with knowledge and available resources. These basic colours also represent the colours of Universiti Teknologi Brunei as the pioneer and organising body of the prestigious award
The trophy has been designed and produced in
UTB. The shape of the trophy represents a modest yet strong foundation of
Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) that forms an essential
element of the nation’s vision towards a sustainable economy. The shape also represents a
generation with a competitive mindset with a resilient awareness of the
economic challenges. Taking recourse into the creativity and innovative nature
of this talent pool will enable us to fulfill the national aspirations towards
economic diversification.
The robust and minimalist design of the trophy -
achieved using locally found materials, signifies the nation’s emphasis on a
creative approach that leads the nation to be regionally and globally
competitive utilising its limited resources. The logo at the top of the trophy
symbolises the commitment of the CIPTA Award towards creating multiple avenues
for innovation and invention.
The austere form of the trophy provides an
inspiration towards achieving the national ‘Vision 2035’ and thus elevate us in
the global setting.
