KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 15 (Bernama) — The Malaysian Investment Development Authority (MIDA) and PERODUA are gearing up through a strategic partnership to introduce the MIDA-Perodua Digital Transformation Ecosystem Programme that was held today at MIDA’s headquarters. The programme aimed to upgrade local automotive suppliers to the next level by using cutting-edge technologies and machinery and to digitalise their manufacturing processes through adoption of Industry 4.0.
“Local companies play a major role in building the nation’s industry ecosystem–geared to support large companies and MNCs. The initiation of the MIDA-PERODUA collaboration in 2020 was crucial to ensure a steady development of our local player’s capabilities in the automotive industry. Under MIDA’s initiative to facilitate these companies to adopt digitalisation and Industry 4.0, we have been successful to contributing immense growth in PERODUA’s manufacturing volume, through the empowerment of its industry partners and service providers.” said Datuk Arham Abdul Rahman, Chief Executive Officer of MIDA.
