In a world constantly being reshaped by the development of artificial intelligence (AI) and data-driven innovations, the Ministry of Digital, in collaboration with Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation (MDEC), seeks to lead Malaysia into the global digital revolution through “Horizon”, a comprehensive and strategic publication. This publication focuses on three key pillars: business, investors and society, providing a reference guide for stakeholders seeking reliable data and informed perspectives from domain experts.

During the launch of “Horizon”, we spoke to Ts. Mahadhir Aziz, the CEO of MDEC, Raja Azmi Adam, Director of Strategic Pursuit Public Sector, ASEAN, at Google Cloud, and Dato’ Abdul Rashid Mohd Ghani, the CEO of Kridentia Tech, looking into the future of Malaysia’s digital economy, following the global digital revolution.
