JELAJAH SAYA DIGITAL @ JOHOR BAHRU MENYANTUNI WARGA JOHOR BAGI MELAHIRKAN GENERASI CELIK DIGITAL

CYBERJAYA, 31 May 2024 &ndash; The Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation (MDEC), with the support of the Ministry of Digital (KD) and the Ministry of Finance (MOF), has introduced an innovative tax incentive scheme for Malaysia Digital (MD) companies.

&nbsp;

The initiative fulfils the Government&rsquo;s commitment under Budget 2024 to introduce outcome-based tax incentives designed to bolster the economy by catalysing investments in high-growth high-value sectors, fostering the creation of new economic clusters, and promoting environmental sustainability.

&nbsp;

The new MD tax incentive scheme offers a range of benefits for digital companies leveraging cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), cybersecurity, blockchain, and advanced network connectivity. Eligible MD companies can benefit from competitive reduced corporate income tax rate on both intellectual property (IP) and non-IP incomes, alongside investment tax allowance (ITA) for capital-intensive services activities. The scheme&rsquo;s flexible structure allows companies to enjoy tax incentives based on their specified commitments, thereby fostering growth in high value activities, and rewarding performance.

&nbsp;

The scheme offers tax incentive for eligible companies in two categories, namely New Investment and Expansion. Companies under the New Investment category may enjoy reduced tax rate of 0% on IP income, and 5% or 10% on non-IP income for ten years. Meanwhile, companies under the Expansion category may enjoy 15% reduced tax rate for five years.

&nbsp;

Alternatively, companies under both categories can opt for ITA between 30% to 100% on capital expenditure for qualifying activities that can be offset against up to 100% of statutory income for five years.

&nbsp;

&ldquo;This MD tax incentive is a game-changer to cement Malaysia&rsquo;s position as the digital hub of ASEAN,&rdquo; says Ts. Mahadhir Aziz, CEO of MDEC. &ldquo;It aligns with current economic needs and international best practices, highlighting our commitment to leading the digital revolution. By attracting global talent and investment in high-growth sectors, we aim to create a thriving digital ecosystem, generate high-value jobs, boost R&amp;D activities, and integrate cutting-edge technologies locally.

&nbsp;

In alignment with YAB Prime Minister&rsquo;s call for Malaysia to become more investor-friendly and guided by the MADANI Economy framework, we are enhancing our processes to increase the ease of doing business, improve efficiency in processing digital investments, and eliminate unnecessary steps that complicate investment execution,&rdquo; he also added.

&nbsp;

Building on the success of the Multimedia Super Corridor (MSC) initiative, the new MD tax incentive scheme reinforces the country&#39;s commitment to developing local tech champions and attracting high-value digital investments. Since the inception of MSC in 1996, along with its accompanying Bill of Guarantees, the initiative has attracted RM485 billion in cumulative investments and created over 223,000 high-value jobs as of December 2022.

&nbsp;

As of 30 April 2024, the number of awarded MD companies has surpassed 5,000, underscoring the MD initiative&rsquo;s pivotal role in fostering digital innovation across diverse industries and supporting transformation plans outlined in both the MADANI Economy framework and the New Industrial Master Plan 2030 (NIMP 2030).

&nbsp;

Companies interested in the new MD tax incentive can apply now. Details are available on the official MDEC website at <a href="https://mdec.my/malaysiadigital/tax-incentive" style="color:#0563c1; text-decoration:underline">https://mdec.my/malaysiadigital/tax-incentive</a>.

MDEC ANNOUNCES INCENTIVES UP TO RM200,000 TO EMPOWER DIGITAL CREATIVE COMPANIES

KapitalX2 Programme to Develop More Venture Professionals in Malaysia 

Penjana Kapital and Venture University are collaborating to launch Malaysia&rsquo;s first venture capital (&ldquo;VC&rdquo;) senior executive talent development programme targeted at mid-level professionals, KapitalX2. The programme is also supported by Crewstone International, Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation (&ldquo;MDEC&rdquo;) and Malaysian Venture Capital &amp; Private Equity Association (&ldquo;MVCA&rdquo;).

The programme is a continuation of the first programme, KapitalX, in collaboration with Sunway iLabs which had concluded in November 2022 that focused on juniors and fresh graduates. 32 KapitalX participants had successfully completed the programme upon undergoing a 5-week classroom training and a 1-month venture fellowship with 14 venture capital management companies. The KapitalX programme is Penjana Kapital&rsquo;s flagship talent development programme established to develop venture capital talents with the competencies to be world-class investors.

To be launched on 10 July 2023, KapitalX2 aims to equip participants, comprising of experienced entrepreneurs and finance professionals, with a detailed overview of the VC ecosystem, including real-time practical application and networking opportunities. The programme aims to create a robust pipeline of mid to senior-level talents that boosts the VC ecosystem in Malaysia. This is aligned with Penjana Kapital&#39;s objective of building the Malaysian VC ecosystem, as part of the Malaysian government&#39;s initiative to accelerate the development of a future innovation economy.

This 4-month programme is an industry agnostic course that is open to (i) experienced entrepreneurs who have built a start-up, who are also keen on investing in other start-ups as a VC fund manager, and (ii) senior investment professionals with investment management experience in one or more asset classes (i.e., Equity, Fixed Income, Private Equity (&ldquo;PE&rdquo;), VC), who are keen on managing a VC investment fund.

&nbsp;

&nbsp;

&ldquo;The KapitalX2 programme will ensure we create a consistent pipeline of VC talent, and complements Penjana Kapital&rsquo;s public-private co-investment programme that seeks to crowd-in private capital, managed by private sector VC firms in the country. A VC industry that is sustainable can only be built if we can simultaneously address both human capital and financial capital shortage gaps. As more funding &ndash; both public and private - flows into VC, the industry needs an even bigger talent pool.&rdquo; said Taufiq Iskandar, Chief Executive Officer of Penjana Kapital.

30 carefully chosen participants will be selected from a pool of applicants for the programme. The programme includes over 60+ hours of course work, including a two-week VC Masterclass and Advanced VC Modules, as well as Startup Pitches and weekly Fireside Chats. Participants will learn the fundamentals of the VC world from Venture University&#39;s management team alongside a highly curated panel of local industry professionals. Learnings include deal sourcing, due diligence, financial modelling, investment term sheets and documents, valuation, cap tables, waterfall analysis, M&amp;A / IPO, raising a VC fund, Corporate VC, managing a Board of Directors, etc. The programme will conclude with a internal reverse demo day on the final week where participants will present their investment recommendations and compete for awards presented during a graduation ceremony.

In 2022, the number of VC and PE professionals in Malaysia declined by 33% year-on-year to 229 from 344. This is after an impressive growth of 97% in 2021, which coincided with the strong performance and liquidity in the VC space. Furthermore, comparing with other developed VC markets, Malaysia still lacks sufficient VC professionals in order to have a vibrant VC space.

DC3 is a competition-based program designed to assist content creators in developing and producing world-class digital content while also increasing the creation of intellectual property (IP).&nbsp;

Digital content has been identified as one of the nine promoted sectors under the national strategic initiative, Malaysia Digital (MD). The winners of DC3 2023 will receive prize money to develop their proposed digital creative content, with the support of industry experts through a mentorship program. This would provide the necessary catalysts for local talents to penetrate the local and global market.&nbsp;

The DC3 2023 showcases the creativity, resilience, and potential of Malaysian digital content creators.

MDEC Launches Digital Content Creators Challenge (DC3) 2023 

DEC Lancar Cabaran Pencipta Kandungan Digital (DC3) 2023 

<ul>
	<li>
	In Malaysia, the cities of Cyberjaya, Iskandar Puteri and Penang are emerging as global tech hubs, part of a robust ecosystem to develop and drive the digital economy of Malaysia
	</li>
	<li>
	These cities have individual unique properties that make them attractive to startups and digital investors, facilitated by the Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation
	</li>
</ul>

&nbsp;

Technology development and innovation have always been inexplicably tied to cities. Silicon Valley in the United States. Bangalore in India. Shenzhen in China. These cities not only foster innovation and birth new inventions but are now global tech hubs spurring the growth of international tech players.

<div>
In Malaysia, we&rsquo;re seeing the&nbsp;crystallisation of its own global tech hubs: Cyberjaya in the Greater Klang Valley; the northern island state of Penang; and Iskandar Puteri, in the state of Johor.

These cities not only serve as Malaysia&rsquo;s centres of innovation, but as hosts to some of the world&rsquo;s most prolific multinational technology companies. They form a vital part of Malaysia&rsquo;s digital economy&nbsp;ecosystem.

Chief among this is Cyberjaya, serving as the catalyst of Malaysia&rsquo;s digital journey ever since its&nbsp;inception 25 years ago. The city currently&nbsp;houses&nbsp;144,000 innovators and creators, about 400 MSC- status entities including multinational corporates (MNCs), and over 40 government agencies and government-linked hubs.

It is, essentially, the technology heart of Malaysia, serving as the base for successful technology startups and enterprises the likes of Aerodyne, Govicle, and Animonsta Studios.

There are many factors that make Cyberjaya fertile grounds for technology companies, from its ample land and proximity to Kuala Lumpur to its strong infrastructure and large talent pool, which stems from its seven universities and colleges.

Beyond that, the city is itself a Living Lab, allowing investors and creators to pilot and validate their innovations across the city, tapping into a large demography of early tech adopters. For instance, it is the first Malaysian city to be cashless&nbsp;&ndash;&nbsp;at least 90% of its merchants are now using ePayment.

Combined with the&nbsp;National Technology and Innovation Sandbox (NTIS), Cyberjaya offers itself as a city where tech startups and MNCs can safely and reliably innovate.

Penang, on the other hand, recently introduced Digital Penang, a digital transformation masterplan for the island state. Digital Penang rides on the back of a vibrant manufacturing and electrical and electronics (E&amp;E) industry. Among other things, Penang contributes approximately 8 percent of the global backend semiconductor output.

During a panel discussion on Malaysia Tech Month 2021 (MTM&rsquo;21) titled&nbsp;Enabling Cities to Become Global Tech Hubs for Emerging Technologies, Digital Penang CEO Tony Yeoh said that Penang&rsquo;s&nbsp;strength is in their engineering prowess&nbsp;&ndash;&nbsp;the manufacturing capabilities of the state means that&nbsp;individuals and companies in the &ldquo;Software for Hardware&rdquo; space can&nbsp;thrive.

To say nothing of the state&rsquo;s famously terrific food, its UNESCO heritage status, and access to pristine beaches, which make it an attractive place for digital talent and organisations.

Now, the city is looking beyond the skies. In August 2021, the Angkasa-X Group of Companies announced plans to turn Penang into a regional space technology ecosystem hub, with the goal of fostering local innovation and technology transfer while creating jobs and opportunities across Malaysia.

Penang Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow&nbsp;said&nbsp;that Penang&rsquo;s strong talent pool&nbsp;serves as a key driver to&nbsp;the state&rsquo;s success in attracting strategic investments, especially in niche industries.
</div>

Established since 2006, Iskandar Puteri has since become a hub for emerging digital technologies. Its initiative, Iskandar NEXT, seeks to develop and implement Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) technology ecosystems.

This led to the creation of the Blockchain Village at Medini (BVAM); and the Drone and Robotics Zone (DRZ)&nbsp;Iskandar, Malaysia&rsquo;s first drone and robotics hub. In total, both initiatives are projected to bring more than RM900 million in investments and create over 2,000 high-value, knowledge-based jobs.

In the MTM&rsquo;21 session, Zulfiqar Zainuddin, Managing Director, IIB Ventures, said that these activities&nbsp;signify that Iskandar has grown from its early days as a green field development to getting the awareness, policies, and manpower in place for emerging technologies.

&ldquo;Today, Iskandar Puteri is poised to take on the challenges that are required to enable the city to become a tech hub,&rdquo; he said.

These are not the only Malaysian cities that are emerging as global tech hubs. Kuching, the capital city of Sarawak, has through the Sarawak Digital Economy Corporation (SDEC) created the Sigfox Internet of Things (IoT) and the 5G Technology Testbeds&nbsp;&ndash;&nbsp;open innovation platforms driving the development of IoT and 5G use cases.

Kuching is also home to iCube Innovation, a 14,000 square feet innovation centre designed to facilitate the creation and growth of entrepreneurs through collaboration and co-incubation. These combine to make the city a strong tech startup destination.

Each of these cities have their own unique offerings for local and foreign tech companies to land and expand in&nbsp;&ndash; an extension of Malaysia&rsquo;s robust digital investment offerings, facilitated by Malaysia Digital&nbsp;Economy Corporation (MDEC) and the Digital Investment Office (DIO).

&ldquo;The development of these cities into global tech hubs is in line with the Malaysia Digital Economy Blueprint (MyDIGITAL) to make Malaysia a regional leader in digital economy, especially towards its target to create 500,000 new jobs, attract two unicorns, and achieve RM70 billion investment in&nbsp;digitalisation,&rdquo; said&nbsp;Raymond Siva, Senior Vice President, Investment and Brand and Chief Marketing Officer, MDEC.

Supporting investments into these cities is MDEC&rsquo;s &lsquo;Digital Investments Future5&rsquo;&nbsp;(DIF5) strategy, a five- year plan aimed at attracting investments and advancing Malaysia&rsquo;s digital economy.&nbsp;Among other targets, DIF5 aims to bring RM50 billion investments, 50 Fortune500 tech companies and the creation of 50,000 jobs in the digital economy.

&ldquo;DIF5 has a focus on five key emerging technologies including DroneTech, Blockchain, and Advanced Robotics&nbsp;&ndash;&nbsp;technologies driven by these cities. With DIF5 and the Digital Investment Office (DIO), we seek to drive more digital investments into these thriving cities, and thus position Malaysia as truly the&nbsp;Heart of Digital ASEAN,&rdquo; concluded Raymond.
