Technology, Digitalisation & Future Proofing
Examining digital transformation, emerging technologies, and innovation ecosystems to position Malaysia as a competitive knowledge economy in Southeast Asia.
Malaysia's digital economy ambitions require comprehensive understanding of technological disruption and its implications for society. Our research analyses how digital transformation impacts traditional industries, the development of local tech talent and innovation capacity, cybersecurity challenges in an interconnected region, and the ethical governance of emerging technologies like AI and blockchain.
As Malaysia pursues its MyDIGITAL blueprint and positions itself as a regional tech hub, we examine digital inclusion across urban-rural divides, the role of government in fostering innovation ecosystems, data sovereignty and privacy concerns, and strategies for building resilient digital infrastructure that serves all Malaysians while maintaining competitiveness in ASEAN.
