To complement the proceedings of the 41st MAJECA-JAMECA Joint Conference, MAJECA organised a Pre-Joint Conference Programme in Cyberjaya on 31 July 2024 at Finexus Towers Cyberjaya to avail to the visiting Japanese delegation the startup ecosystems of both Malaysia and Japan, and the opportunities in the digital economy of Cyberjaya and Malaysia.
Six Malaysian and Japanese startup companies participated in this programme in Cyberjaya. The startup companies’ presentations highlighted the existing vibrant ecosystem thriving and growing both in Malaysia and Japan. The six companies related how they addressed the industry’s pain points, offered tech-based solutions that were cost effective and enabled customisation so that these solutions could also be applied effectively across multiple sectors. It is MAJECA and JAMECA’s intention to grow this platform further and encourage more activity to co-create and collaborate in deeper and diverse ways.
MAJECA appreciates and records its appreciation to all the startup companies, facilitators, MDEC, Cyberview and especially Finexus Group who have contributed to making this event a success.
