This initiative will assist in accelerating a digital talent pool to which opportunities can be explored and seized as a result of digital disruption. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The global digital revolution has become a catalyst for Malaysia\u2019s overall economic growth and development. Building a \u2018Digital Malaysia\u2019 is now a national transformation programme that is aimed towards a developed digital economy by 2020. <\/span><span class=\"s1\">The focus is on enabling a knowledge based economy, specifically in the areas of industry, infrastructure, human capital and digital inclusion. The demand for strong digital infrastructure is imperative to Malaysia\u2019s economy and vital for the development and growth of a digitally skilled workforce capable of driving innovation, creativity and productivity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">A recent example of this began in March 2017, when Malaysia launched the world\u2019s first Digital Free Trade Zone (DFTZ). The DFTZ is poised to be the preferred gateway of choice for global brands and regional marketplaces in eCommerce. It will empower Small Medium Enterprises (SMEs) and marketplaces through services such as unified government services platform, integrated digital eServices platform, satelite services hub and access to global logistics and fulfilment services.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The DFTZ is divided into two main elements. The first, is the KLIA Aeropolis which is strategically for custom clearance, warehousing and logistics facility which are crucial for production clearance and exports. <\/span><span class=\"s1\">The second, is the Kuala Lumpur Internet City (KLIC) which is to be the premier digital hub for global internet-related companies. The KLIC will facilitate end-to-end support that will encourage digital innovation in the industry.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">So within this exciting environment of growth and political commitment to build a digital nation, DL Malaysia is building a community that supports and shares digital ideas, with access to global industry leaders and domain experts to catalyse innovation and bridge digital gaps.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">If you would like to know more about this initiative or be part of our growing community please get in touch. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Digital Leaders Malaysia (DLMY) believes in creating a sustainable digital ecosystem that promotes effective long-term collaboration between professionals across industries in Malaysia, the UK, and beyond.
