MDeC is launching a new globalization initiative to help Malaysian ICT companies expand globally. The initiative will provide support in four key areas: market access, technology disruption, funding access, and building leadership capabilities. MDeC has identified five focus areas of future technology: big data analytics, internet of things, cloud computing, e-commerce, and information security. As part of this effort, MDeC took 21 high-growth Malaysian companies to Silicon Valley for training to connect them with opportunities there and accelerate their businesses globally. The goal is to help Malaysian companies tap into global opportunities and position Malaysia as an attractive location for ICT investment.
