Hitting Bulls-Eye With Digital Investments

The Digital Investment States Summit 2022 Showcases One-Nation Approach



"The Summit is in line with MDEC’s aspirations as part of the Malaysia Digital initiative." – Mahadhir Aziz, CEO of MDEC


There's no understating the importance of Digital Investments to Malaysia's economic growth. Since 1996, MDEC – through the MSC Malaysia initiative – has attracted 2,794 active MSC-status companies.

The companies have, in turn, made an immense contribution to the economy and job creation.

Recognising this, the Malaysia Digital Economy Blueprint (MyDIGITAL) targets RM70 billion in investments in digitalisation by 2025. A One-Nation Approach will be needed to further elevate this core pillar in Malaysia's digital economy.


This is precisely the goal of the Digital Investment States Summit 2022, held from 29 to 31 March. Organised by MDEC with support from Malaysia Investment Development Authority (MIDA) through the Digital Investment Office (DIO), the three-day Summit served to share and align Malaysia's National Digital Investment Strategy with each Malaysian state's Investment Promotion Agencies (IPAs).


Via the Summit, IPAs were able to share and discuss their regions' investment plans, providing detailed mapping of each state's digital investment value proposition and focus areas, culminating in a nationwide investment strategy that will ultimately benefit the country.
