CYBERJAYA: The Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation (MDEC), and Malaysia Digital Association (MDA), today, announced collaborations to raise awareness on initiatives set to benefit the digital economy ecosystem.
MDEC's senior vice president, Investment and Brand and chief marketing officer, Raymond Siva in a statement said that MDEC are looking forward to the initiatives lined-up under the partnership.
"We are excited to announce this partnership with MDA as we seek to further push ahead with initiatives to enhance and catalyse our digital economy ecosystem through our brand campaigns, #SayaDigital and Malaysia, Heart of Digital ASEAN.
"We are optimistic that the partnership will create more opportunities for not just the members but also non-members, thereby advancing an inclusive digital economy in line with the Malaysia Digital Economy Blueprint and Shared Prosperity Vision 2030," said Raymond.
As part of the agreement, both MDEC and MDA will be holding a speaking engagement series called Digital Wednesday. The quarterly series will feature prominent industry speakers and experts as well as MDEC's leadership team who will share insights and the latest on talent development, digital investments and plans to further contribute to the growth of Malaysia's digital economy ecosystem.
"We are thrilled with this new strategic partnership with MDEC. This partnership is significant; it allows MDA and MDEC to work together in driving the industry forward for those involved in any digital business out there. This also establishes MDA as a critical player together with MDEC in empowering the industry and continuing to progress the nation to the next level", said MDA's president and chief operating officer at REV Media Group, the digital arm of Media Prima Berhad, Nicholas Sagau.
The collaboration will kick off this month with MDEC's involvement in MDA's signature industry learning platform, MDA School. This initiative will be the first of many programmes planned by both organisations for the industry.
For the first time, MDEC will be involved in MDA's d Awards 2022, an annual event that recognises and honours the talents, agencies, brands, publishers and digital service providers that embrace and use digital technologies.
