We are excited to announce that the Ministry of Communications and Digital (KKD) of Malaysia together with the Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation (MDEC), achieved a significant milestone during the investment mission to London Tech Week 2023. Led by Minister of Communications and Digital, Fahmi Fadzil, the delegation successfully secured an investment commitment of RM8.3 billion across diverse digital technology sectors.

- MoU between Sunway Group and wippd; and
- Investment announcements by nine prominent companies in the United Kingdom namely Access Group, Dataswyft, TPP, Activpayroll, Ekco, Yondr Group, GBG, Hamilton Barnes, and MMOB.

|
|

The BMCC Education Committee (3-18 Years) consists of several established private international schools and is actively sharing ideas and initiatives to enhance the student learning experiences available to their students. These schools are looking out for companies to host their 16 to 18-year-old students for short-term work experience, ranging from a few days to a few weeks, depending on the company’s ability to host.
They hope that this short-term work experience will expose the students to different career paths and work cultures as part of their learning before entering their tertiary education.
