Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said Cyberjaya, driven by the Cyberjaya Masterplan, has the potential to become a preferred technology investment location through the participation of both local and international technology companies. 

Anwar, who is also Finance Minister, said the Cyberjaya Masterplan launched in 2019 as a strategy for Cyberjaya’s development in line with technological advancements and innovation, focuses on three main pillars – smart mobility, smart healthcare and digital creativity.

In his speech at the closing ceremony of InnoEx 2023 here, which was read out by Minister of Science, Technology and Innovation Chang Lih Kang, Anwar also listed prominent companies that have chosen Cyberjaya as their investment destination.

Among them is the local multinational company Aerodyne Technologies, the world’s number one drone solution provider offering automation solutions in agriculture and surveillance.

The Prime Minister said Hematogenix, a company from the United States, had also chosen Cyberjaya to establish their Oncology Laboratory Centre for the entire Asia-Pacific region.

Anwar said recently, Cyberjaya also became the preferred choice of Tesla to establish its regional headquarters and that according to global real estate consultant Knight Frank, Cyberjaya is a leading destination in Southeast Asia for global data centre investments.

Cyberjaya has also become a focal point for local animation and digital creative enthusiasts, including companies like Monsta Studios, Wau Animation and Durioo+, he said.

Anwar said he was also made to understand that Cyberjaya now has over 146,000 residents, with approximately 40,000 of them employed in over 400 Malaysia Digital-status companies.

He said Cyberjaya has also nurtured over 400 start-ups, such as Campfyre, Laundrydone, Beebotic, ERTH and Kumpool.
