MSC
The Multimedia Super Corridor (MSC) is Malaysia’s most
exciting initiative for the global information and communication

Conceptualized in 1996, the MSC has since grown into a thriving
dynamic ICT hub, hosting more than 900 multinationals, foreign-owned
and home-grown Malaysian companies focused on multimedia and
communications products, solutions, services and; research and
development.
With this unique corridor, Malaysia continues to attract leading
ICT companies of the world to locate their industries in the
MSC and undertake research, develop new products and technologies
and export from this base. The MSC is also an ideal growth environment
for Malaysian ICT SMEs to transform themselves into world-class
companies. Furthermore, the MSC welcomes countries to use its
highly advanced infrastructural facilities as a global test-bed
for ICT applications and a hub for their regional operations
in Asia. |
