CHANGING GEARS: MALAYSIA'S RACE TO BECOME A DIGITAL NATION

With the announcement of Malaysia's digital banking licensees earlier this year, as well as the plan to roll out 5G network across the country, Malaysia is set to accelerate digitalisation across all sectors and race ahead in becoming a truly digital nation.

In this panel, we gather industry leaders from various sectors to discuss certain key factors impacting the startup scene, from the forecasted economic downturn by analysts, to the digitalisation efforts and investment by the government.
