Our theme for this year is very appropriate. Investors should 'Look to Malaysia for solid returns, global integration, the right people, a good life, and for world-class products and services.

The primary showcase of the Malaysian pavilion will be the Multimedia Super Corridor (MSC). The Multimedia Super Corridor (MSC) is Malaysias national ICT initiative that aims to revolutionise how Malaysians and others in the region conduct business. Located at the hub of Asia's fastest-growing markets, the MSC occupies a 15 km by 50 km corridor governed by groundbreaking Cyberlaws, policies and practices that enable operating companies to harness the full potential of ICT and Multimedia. Its goal is to provide an ideal multimedia environment that attracts topflight Malaysian and international IT and multimedia companies or those that has the potential to become world-class over time.

The MSC has become the regional launch site for companies developing or using leading multimedia technology, allowing these innovators to harness Malaysia's unique competitive advantages that arise from its multicultural links, committed leadership, and proven track record in developing products and services for regional and global markets.

The first completed and fully operational facility within the MSC is Technology Park Malaysia (TPM), what MSC refers to as 'cybercity. TPM, uniquely equipped with the first class infrastructure and services for technological innovation and R&D to enable knowledge-based industries to grow and compete in the global marketplace.
