EUROCHAM Malaysia CEO, Mr Sven Schneider was invited as a panelist for the ASB-UNHCR Research Workshop on Refugee Studies and Forced Displacement 2023. The event was organised by UNHCR together with the Asia School of Business.

More than 100 million people were forcibly displaced in 2022, which is equivalent to 1 in every 78 private sector to meaningfully engage refugees in a win-win proposition. The topic of the panel discussion is Win-Win: Making a Business Case for Supporting Refugees.

In refence to World Refugee Day, each year on 20 June, the world celebrates the strength and courage of people who have been forced to flee their home country to escape conflict or persecution. The 2023 theme of World Refugee Day is “hope away from home.” Including refugees in the communities where they have found safety after fleeing conflict and persecution is the most effective way to support them in restarting their lives and enable them to contribute to the countries hosting them.

Malaysia has the potential to turn information technology into part of its mainstream economy, Communications and Digital Minister Fahmi Fadzil said.

This is based on current developments that have seen data technology industry players being attracted to invest in the country.

“In the past six, seven months, Malaysia has become an investment destination for data processing centres and this enables us to have a superhighway for data.

“The issue is when we have a superhighway for this data processing, what can we generate in terms of economy, what can companies in Malaysia do to spur economic growth?” he said when interviewed by Radio Emas host Zaharah Othman during the recent London Tech Week.

We would like to wish all our members, friends and connections a Happy Sustainable Gastronomy Day!
