The Penang State Government, through the Industry Research Task Force has commissioned for a technology roadmap to be developed for the electronics and electrical industries of Penang.
The objectives of this roadmap are:-
- to assess technology and market trends in key markets that are driving investment directions;
- to assess critical human resource needs to support future investments by MNC’s and local industries;
- to identify challenges of the local SMIs and what capabilities they need to help build and attractive supplier and partner base for global companies; and
- to identify strategies and support needed to grow local SMI’s to be global companies themselves.
The formulation of a technology roadmap is to provide the State with a clearer vision of its future progression path and establish the criterion needed to offer itself as the preferred investment location for higher end, research and design development activities. This Forum, proudly brought tho you by SERI in collaboration with PSDC and BizWise Consulting aims to highlight the main findings of the report, as well as to examine the critical issues involved. The Forum will also focus on the recommendations and action plans which have been prescribed based on the findings of the research.
