The current focus is on two out of the five key sub-sectors on the basis that they can offer higher and faster yield.
1. Driving Growth in ICT Services
Five steps have been outlined to propel the potential growth for ICT Services:
Focus on ICT Services exports
Malaysia should push forward in five growth areas namely in mobility, cloud, social, big data and outsourcing
Promote business adoption of cloud-based enterprise application solutions
Expand outsourcing activities such as data-centre services to drive growth in telecommunication and ICT services
Position Malaysia as value added BDA hub to tap on BDA business and as delivery centre for mobility solutions
2. Driving Growth in eCommerce
To drive eCommerce, Malaysia must put in place new incentives for growth. To achieve this, the plan is to:
Balance imports with more eCommerce exports by encouraging players (especially SMEs) to convert from traditional to digital business models for cost and productivity efficiencies
Increase the adoption of eCommerce among Local Large Corporations (LLCs)
Promote the creation of digital goods for exports
Promote the purchase of Malaysian brands through online portals
