MIGHT X MYDRONETECH FESTIVAL 27 November 2020, via online
In conjunction with Malaysia Tech Month (MTM) 2020, MDEC, MIGHT and Malaysia UAV Drones Activist Society (MUDAS) jointly organised a MyDroneTech Festival webinar. The event was an aspirational programme by MDEC to connect the brightest minds in digital and technology, facilitating high-value networking opportunities between investors, corporations and entrepreneurs to exchange innovative ideas and solutions. This programme aimed to help promote the local industry players’ capabilities and best practices for drone applications across major industries such as construction, infrastructure, energy & utilities, oil & gas and agriculture or plantation. Panel members shared their plans and views which included the initiative to catalyse the DronTech digitalisation adoption by the Government, GLCs, corporate organisations and private sector. The participants gave many invaluable inputs that would assist in steering the formulation of recommendations from local drone industry players to realise the vision of making Malaysia the DroneTech epicenter and launchpad to ASEAN. The webinar was hosted by MUDAS and supported by AERODYNE, ILB, POLADRONE, Iskandar Investment Berhad (IIB) and Technology Park Malaysia. Other areas discussed were the initiative to promote drone services such as the establishment of testing site and developmental zone for drone industry players, located at TPM and Iskandar, and also highlighting the safety challenges, and business and technology opportunities in the agriculture sector. A strong indication of interest was received from the local drone services industry with its many potentials to serve other industries. It was also recognised that a strong support on policies and standards is required to ensure industry sustainability.
