PIKOM, the National Tech Association of Malaysia, is working to increase engagement with the tech industry by introducing a new flagship platform for its members through a collaboration with multi-award-winning AI and Big Data technology market leader.
At the MoU signing ceremony between the two parties, this collaboration marked the envisioning of a digital interactive space that includes an e-commerce marketplace, an exhibition showcase and a B2B meeting space, all in a single platform.
The PIKOM Chairman stated that the agency looks forward to providing this platform for members to exhibit their products and services. It will enable them to virtually connect with their customers and create more opportunities to gain new customers. With all of the aggressive digital transformation activities currently taking place, this platform aims to become the ultimate all-in-one hub for members to reach global markets.
The Group CEO of the AI and Big Data technology firm is proud to take its partnership with PIKOM to a new level. This platform will provide the impetus towards digital transformation. Those who utilise it can look forward to enjoying increased exposure and opportunities via the platform’s embedded digital and performance-based marketing as well as AI and data analytics capabilities.
Following the MoU signing, PIKOM will roll out the platform for its members to exhibit and offer their products and services, organize B2B meetings and conduct webinars online. A soft launch for the platform has been scheduled for Q1 2021.
Currently, most businesses are struggling to survive amidst the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic. Digital businesses have been one of the bright spots for the economy and as such members can easily come on board and use this platform to grow their businesses.
The PIKOM Chairman also stressed that IT must remain an essential service to support businesses across all sectors that are looking to move towards digitalization. PIKOM, who represents over 1,000 members, remains focused on driving the move towards a digital economy.
