Committed to position Malaysia as a globally competitive digital nation
“Coming together is a beginning. Keeping together is progress. Working together is success.”
The quote by Henry Ford, the American industrialist who founded the world's largest and most successful automotive manufacturer, underscores the importance of collaboration in achieving success, which is at the core of MDEC initiatives.
Collaboration is a process that requires effort and persistence. When people work together, they can achieve great things. Collaboration is one of the crucial elements in realising the potential of Malaysia's digital sphere.
At this critical juncture, the growth and expansion of the digital economy are more important than ever. The COVID-19 pandemic has fundamentally transformed how we live, work, and interact, making technology more essential than ever.
Malaysia's tech ecosystem has proven to be resilient and dynamic, with a thriving community of innovators, entrepreneurs, and investors. As a nation, we must continue to collaborate and explore possibilities to take advantage of the immense potential that our tech ecosystem has to offer. At the forefront of this effort is the Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation (MDEC), tasked with driving the country's digital transformation. MDEC has been instrumental in creating an enabling environment for tech companies to grow and thrive.
In this issue of Digital Pulse, we highlight what makes Malaysia stand out as a country for companies to establish their data centres compared to other countries in ASEAN. MDEC spoke to a representative from Experian, a multinational information services company, about their journey in this country. Experian shared that the policies, infrastructure and support that Malaysia's tech ecosystem had offered further underpin their expansion in the development of data centres.
Data plays a critical role in achieving sustainable digital economy growth. It provides insights into the current economic state, identifies potential growth areas and helps make strategic investments. As a nation, we must continue to invest in the collection and analysis of data to ensure that we can achieve sustainable growth.
I hope this issue will spark your interest in Malaysia. For those who are observing Ramadhan, wishing you all the blessings of this holy month!
