Professor Emeritus Tan Sri Dato’ Dr Lim Kok Wing, the Founder and President of Limkokwing University of Creative Technology, does not fit into any ordinary mould that would describe most entrepreneurs.
His journey has been closely linked with the economic and social development of Malaysia.
He succeeds so others succeed. His aspirations touch the growth of industry itself. Whether it is SMEs, creative industries or the education sector he has helped to raise the quality benchmark. He brings large-scale changes and evokes social innovation.
His businesses are built upon creativity and innovation. Most entrepreneurs succeed in one or two focused areas of expertise. But Tan Sri Lim has been able to build a formidable corporation under which its companies excel in design, publishing, film/video production, brand management, industry innovation, cultural preservation and education.
He has always stayed ahead by pioneering, clearing the way using innovative ideas to perk up the industry to think in new ways.
He built his new vision of education by establishing campuses spread across Asia, Africa and Europe, with a combined student enrolment exceeding 30,000. More campuses in more regions are on the way.
By expanding worldwide, he seeks to merge the best of the East and West to build human capital with the empowering skills, knowledge and attitude essential to drive the transformation of communities and industries.
Through his mentoring of students from over 150 countries, and his work with various international organisations, he is building capability and cross-cultural understanding for the world.
His establishment of the Malaysian World Peace Foundation addresses misconceptions about Muslims, building respect between global communities.
Tan Sri Lim balances his exceptional business success with social consciousness. He has supported charities and causes that increased awareness about the homeless, spastics, blind, heart disease, HIV, drug addicts, cancer victims and many others.
He is also regularly sought by the Malaysian Government to conceive and implement a multitude of national issues and nation-building campaigns that serve to promote unity, change mindset and increase awareness.
