00:45a special annual event for students and teachers

01:04including students, teachers, creators and technology companies
01:10to share ideas, build networks and build a more advanced

01:19Malaysia aspires to create a more sustainable digital future
01:24in line with the country's vision and mission
01:27to become the main destination for digital transformation in this area.
01:33Innovation and talent development are the key
01:37to achieving the vision and mission.
01:40Initiatives such as this are among several proactive steps
01:44that are taken to ensure innovation, creativity and talent
01:49can continue to flourish among Malaysians.
01:52By all of us contributing to innovation and talent development,
01:58we can prepare the younger generation to advance the digital economy
02:02of our country, which is expected to contribute more than 25%
02:07of Malaysia's GDP by the end of next year.
02:12In addition, talent and innovation development also opens up opportunities
02:17for strategic cooperation between global technology companies,
02:21local innovators and infrastructure developers.
02:25This industry is also expected to maintain an annual growth rate
02:30of 7.55% by 2027.
02:35This growth is boosted by the use of smart phones,
02:39a stable and popular internet network,
02:42which is increasing not only in this country,
02:45but also in the global market.
02:49The digital industry in Malaysia employs around 10,000 professionals
02:56with around 300 studios that contribute to the ecosystem as a whole.
03:02This sector offers great potential in the development of economy and creativity.
03:08With the support of the government, through the initiatives implemented by MDEC,
03:13and indirectly facilitate cooperation on a global level.
03:19I hope that such initiatives can be continued with high commitment
03:27so that this country does not depend on talent and innovation
03:32that is needed to drive the Malaysian digital economy forward.
03:37I also hope that such programs can be expanded in schools
03:46from Kanggar to Kinabalu.
03:48The agencies under my ministry, the Ministry of Digital,
03:51are ready to help the Ministry of Education
03:54in accomplishing such initiatives in moving forward together.
04:00The Ministry of Digital is also ready to help the Ministry of Education
04:05strengthen the foundation of digital education
04:08so that we can see the birth of a digital generation that is competitive.
04:14This will certainly increase the number of digital workers
04:19that we really need for the future.
04:23I also hope that Malaysians can take advantage of the platform provided
04:28to showcase our abilities in healthy and competitive competition
04:34to expand the digital landscape of our country.
04:37I am confident that we are on the right path to achieve this goal.
