Talents
Develop a strong pool of knowledgeable expert of designers and practitioners who could be agents of change and potential business leaders. MRM will work on creating teams of local experts from our own nation’s talent pool, befitting of international standards and skill requirements. Talents will be recruited from schools, educational institutions or local industry personnel and trained to realise their potential and reward their efforts through recognition and proper acknowledgement.
MRM, through these initiatives, will document designer portfolios and launch a professional recognition certification – one that dignifies our designer’s talents reputation at its best. Such initiatives are crucial to safeguard our future pool of talented designers, home designers and design consultants that are ready to face the global challenges and catapult the design industry forward.

Empower innovative design entrepreneurs and design-driven businesses by supporting local designers. MRM intends to accommodate designs as an integral part of the local industries marketing plan to boost their revenue and give the designs added value.
MRM play a major role in providing design training and design advisory services to the company or local industries to empower design in strategic business planning. It is believed that most of our local industry lack of in-house design talents. To overcome this obstacle, MRM will assist them strategically by applying innovative design structures in business planning and decision making to ensure the company’s mission, vision and objectives are met.
Business and Community
Familiarise and democratise design to build a growing community that adopts design to innovate their business processes and enhance the quality of lives. MRM, through these initiatives, is responsible to educate the community or consumers on better design appreciation. Today’s society is likely able to identify and realise the importance of design element in a certain product brand image.
We pay close attention to the product brand, image and designs before making a purchase decision. This phenomenon reflects the community’s acceptance of design importance. Furthermore, MRM will be indirectly involved to educate the society by embedding design syllabus into the nation’s education system. MRM has currently organised many community projects to encourage the innovators and industry key players to produce quality community-driven products.
Market
“Designed in MALAYSIA” tagline – Malaysian design-driven products and services have been commercialised globally and Malaysia is recognised as a hub for design excellence. This strategic thrust aims to encourage or cultivate awareness amongst Malaysians.
Policy
Designs to become an integral part of the system - where design techniques are applied for more effective executive policy-making and implementation. With the tagline of empowering new possibilities through design, MRM needs to have a strong design policy in Malaysia and coordinate joint ventures with MyIPO, MIDA, MATRADE and also the Kraftangan Malaysia. This will provide assurances to protect local designers and local manufacturers on their innovative design works.
Newly reviewed policy amendments are considered essential to ensure a sustainable pool of Malaysian talents that will contribute to the development of the Malaysian design.
