In the closing speech, she said, "I would like to thank all the honourable guests, invited speakers, participants and corporate partners for their support in making this symposium a success. I am confident that each presenter effectively delivers their research work for dissemination and knowledge sharing. I sincerely hope that as a result of your presentations and discussions, you will contribute to wealth creation, nation-building, and human progress in their respective countries. It is still valuable, even if the contribution is small."

Assoc. Prof. Dr. Che Azurahanim closed iSAMN2022 by handing over the iSAMN2023 mandate to Assoc. Prof. Dr. Jaafar Abdullah, Head of Functional Nanotechnology Devices (FNDL) Laboratory. She hopes that iSAMN2023 will receive more support and participation, which will bring opportunities for research collaboration in the future.
