We had a very interactive and productive meeting with the Swiss Malaysian Chamber of Commerce (SMCC). It was a very engaging session to explore more opportunities together with our friends at SMCC.

Revenue from the aerospace industry will reach RM30 billion by 2025, and it is imperative to enhance value creation across the whole chain to strengthen the industry's ecosystem in Malaysia.

International Trade and Industry Minister Datuk Seri Mohamed Azmin Ali said in this regard, Malaysian small and medium enterprises (SMEs) had been formidable in a narrow range of aerospace products and, thus, were required to move up the value chain into product and process designing.

He urged SMEs to fully capitalise and embrace advanced technology and high-value investments which comply with environmental, social and corporate governance practices.

Azmin pointed out that the adoption of advanced technology and digitalisation was pivotal in achieving a sustainable supply chain, where the transformation was not only limited to the companies but also suppliers as well as service and utility providers.

"The 12th Malaysia Plan (12MP) charts the direction for the advancement of the aerospace industry as a strategic sector that will realise the nation's aspiration to be a global powerhouse.

The world around us is constantly changing at a pace much faster than one can imagine, causing much uncertainty, ambiguity, and unpredictability in businesses. Working in the new normal brought by the COVID-19 pandemic, there are new expectations for businesses. Organisations must evolve to stay competitive and survive this era of disruption.

Procurement agility has to be discussed today to help organisations survive. Get a better understanding of how the Procurement and Supply Chain functions are stepping up to support the ESG agenda while enabling digital transformations to support organisations in their cost savings and business growth. Digital challenges, procurement integrity, regulatory compliances are some of the key issues facing organisations.

We are pleased to share that EUROCHAM Malaysia, in collaboration with the Malaysian Institute of Corporate Governance as a supporting partner of the 9th Governance in Procurement Conference 2021 Procurement Digitalisation for The Future, is promoting the event on Wednesday, 8 December 2021, from 9:00 AM to 4:30 PM. The theme “Procurement Digitalisation for The Future” is supportive of the 12th Malaysia Plan’s Policy Enabler 2: Accelerating Technology Adoption and Innovation. Do note that this will be a virtual event.
