CYBERJAYA: Cyberjaya is on the right track to be a creative content hub by 2020 based on the provision of the best support ecosystem services, says the entity spearheading the development of Malaysia's first 'intelligent city.'
Cyberview Sdn Bhd head of technology hub division Nazri Tumin said the company already has 8,000 creative industries students in its two universities.
To make Cyberjaya an information and communications techology (ICT) hub, Cyberview is focusing on information security, mobile Internet, cloud computing, big data analysis, green technology, biotechnology, renewable technology and smart grid besides creative content, he told reporters after a media event with creative multimedia companies operating in Cyberjaya here today.
They included Animonsta (known for the Boboiboy animation) and Sead Studio (The Amazing Awang Khenit cartoon series).
Nazri said the industry's products are marketed in some 40 countries, with even Japan showing an interest in collaborative efforts.
"This is a multi-billion ringgit industry and we want to showcase local talent abroad," he said, adding the company aims to attract 200 ICT companies to invest over the next six years in the township, where 52 creative multimedia companies have already set up base.-- Bernama
