Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation

(MDEC), previously known as Multimedia

Development Corporation (MDeC), was

incorporated in 1996 to strategically

advise the Malaysian government on

legislation, policies and standards for ICT

and multimedia operations as well as to

oversee the development of the Malay-

sian Multimedia Super Corridor (now MSC

Malaysia), the platform to nurture the

growth of Malaysian Small and Medium

Enterprises (SMEs) in the IT industry whilst

attracting participation from global ICT

companies to invest in and develop

cutting edge digital and creative solutions

in Malaysia.

In 2011, MDEC’s mandate was broadened

by the Prime Minister to include driving

Malaysia’s transition towards a developed

digital economy by 2020 through Digital

Malaysia. In 2012, Digital Malaysia was

officially unveiled as the nation’s transfor-

mational programme to achieve this aim.

Digital Malaysia is the national agenda

towards a sustainable digital economy

built upon a vibrant domestic ICT industry,

transformative use of digital solutions by

government, businesses and citizens, as

well as a robust enabling ecosystem.

Today, both MSC Malaysia and Digital

Malaysia run concurrently to spur Malay-

sia’s ICT industry development and digital

transformation, under the purview of

MDEC.
