We are back with another fun and engaging advocacy networking event, coming your way this month! We listened, and we’re here to serve.

EUROCHAM Malaysia is delighted on starting the third quarter of the year with another highly anticipated networking session – we want to take this time to connect and further build our relationship with our fellow members and colleagues from our EU bilateral chambers.

With a whole lot planned, we look forward to connecting and networking with our esteemed members. With the invited guest, Mr. Shahril Sufian Hamdan, Economic Director, Prime Minister’s Officer, we will be having our famous fireside chat session.

EUROCHAM Malaysia CEO, Mr. Sven Schneider was invited to attend the Official Launch of Malaysia Digital (MD) and Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation (MDEC) Silver Jubilee Celebration that happened yesterday. The Malaysia Digital initiative aims to enhance the efforts of increasing digital investments in Malaysia and accelerate the growth of the country’s digital economy.

The launch event was an international platform to showcase Malaysia’s initiatives to develop its digital economy and give recognition to key achievements by the industry in certain sectors that have contributed to the country’s digital economy. It was officiated by the Right Honourable Dato’ Sri Ismail Yaakob, the Prime Minister of Malaysia.

The government has developed Malaysia Digital (MD), an initiative to accelerate the growth of the nation’s digital economy, driven by three key principles — flexibility, agility and relevance.

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob said the initiative, via MD Catalytic Programmes (PEMANGKIN), will function holistically in transforming Malaysia’s digital economy ecosystem through three strategic priorities.

“It will, firstly, help drive digital adoption among aspiring young entrepreneurs, companies and people. Secondly, support local tech companies to become ‘Malaysian Champions’ and successful international players. Thirdly, attract high-value digital investments,” he said when launching MD and the Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation silver jubilee celebration here on Monday (July 4).

Participate in the EUROCHAM Malaysia Digital Economy Survey!

The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the process of digital transformation – from micro-enterprises to multinational conglomerates, businesses in every sector and every region of the world are becoming increasingly dependent on information and communication technologies (ICTs) and a secure, stable, and trusted Internet to carry out their daily operations.

With this survey, EUROCHAM Malaysia and valued Bilateral/Associate Chambers seek to measure and understand the general sentiment of the digital approach and digital maturity of European and Malaysian organisations operating in Malaysia.
