In 2017, IRDA embarked on the Smart City program with 5 local authorities residing in Iskandar Malaysia, namely - Johor Bahru City Council, Iskandar Puteri City Council, Pasir Gudang City Council, Kulai Municipal Council and Pontian District Council. In the program, IRDA facilitated the five (5) councils to identify their urban challenges and projects prioritisation and explore opportunities with solution providers in a pitching process. As a result, each PBT has selected key projects and some of the projects are in collaboration with the private sector. In addition to that, IRDA had the opportunities to attend workshops with other cities in ASEAN under the ASEAN Smart City Network program and engaged various local and international solution providers.
