BARCELONA, Nov 8 (NNN-BERNAMA) – Digital Minister, Gobind Singh Deo, expressed his commitment to helping more players in Malaysia\u2019s smart city industry, expand their reach to the global stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He emphasised that, local companies have great potential to compete at the global level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIn fact, Malaysian companies are global-level companies, and our role is to market these companies and seek collaboration opportunities with major international firms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe have great talent and outstanding companies that have achieved significant success in Malaysia,\u201d he told BERNAMA before concluding his working visit to Spain, and to attend the Smart City Expo World Congress 2024 (SCEWC 2024).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe brought Malaysian companies here that are looking to entre the European market, and I feel that the discussions we’ve had with European companies show, there\u2019s a strong possibility of collaboration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cA lot of business opportunities have already been discussed, so I believe this is something that will continue going forward,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Digital Minister also said, Malaysia has gained various benefits from its participation in SCEWC, which can help the government formulate the right policies to ensure that smart city development benefits the people as a whole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gobind pointed out that, the experiences and knowledge gained from this international event allow Malaysia to gain deeper insights into the best smart city solutions, as well as, how to adapt these technologies and approaches to the local context.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c(We learnt about) different aspects of smart cities, the challenges ahead, what governments need to do, what industries need to do, and how we can bring all these elements together, to thrive more efficiently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“I believe that, hosting SCE Kuala Lumpur next year, will position Malaysia on the global stage,” he noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He also mentioned that, this world-class event will provide an extraordinary opportunity for local companies to showcase their innovative technological solutions, as well as open avenues for international collaboration and partnerships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This, in turn, will highlight Malaysia\u2019s technological capabilities, including artificial intelligence and other digital innovations that align with global smart city trends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Malaysia will be the first Southeast Asian country to host the Smart City Expo (SCE) in Kuala Lumpur, from Sept 17 to 19, 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The hosting of the event underscores the country\u2019s commitment to innovation and sustainable digital city development, while reinforcing its leadership role in ASEAN.– BERNAMA<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
