Technology

Malaysia is one of the world leaders in innovation and technology.

Cyberjaya - A city born out of Malaysian government's initiative to transform the country from a manufacturing-based economy to a knowledge-based economy. The most crucial part of that master plan was the creation of the MSC Malaysia, within which an intelligent world class city was envisioned to be the nucleus. Cyberjaya took shape as a result of that vision. Cyberjaya is Malaysia's premier multimedia and ICT hub designed as a leading edge multimedia centre to attract world class multimedia and ICT companies, developed with sophisticated and state of the art integrated infrastructure and ICT system, complete with efficient transportation services. It was built to be the city of the future. It provides the most suitable place for major ICT players to undertake research and develop new products and technologies.

Some companies that operate in Cyberjaya are Motorola, BMW, Ericsson, and Hewlett Packard.

Technology Park Malaysia - Technology Park, like Cyberjaya, is also located in MSC and was set up to provide a convenient locale for MSC status companies. It is to date one of the world's most advanced and comprehensive centre for research and development of knowledge-based industries. The environment is conducive for these companies to conduct research and development activities. It currently comprises 12 main buildings set on about 750 acres of land. Buildings include Enterprise buildings, Incubator buildings, an Innovation house, and R&D land lots. Along with this, there are also auxilery facilities like banks, restaurants, convenience shops, and a gymnasium.

TPM also engages in other business activities through its four wholly-owned subsidiaries, namely TPM Biotech Sdn Bhd in biotechnology, TPM Engineering Sdn Bhd in engineering, TPM IT Sdn Bhd in Information Technology, and Technology Park Malaysia College Sdn Bhd in education and training.
