PwC has been supporting MyDIGITAL Corporation since the launch of the Malaysia Digital Economy Blueprint and National 4IR Policy in 2021. This is part of knowledge support to ensure continuity in implementing the MyDIGITAL initiative.
1) PwC Malaysia helped in project managing and facilitating design thinking workshops related to MyDIGITAL Catalytic Projects initiative
MyDIGITAL Catalytic Projects is an initiative by the government to drive digital investment by the private sector, as part of the mission to grow Malaysia’s digital economy. Catalytic Projects that are onboarded will receive facilitation support from MyDIGITAL Corporation in three ways/approaches - Recognition, Bridging, and Solutioning - depending on their issues.
Through the Solutioning approach, design thinking workshops are held involving both public and private sectors to debottleneck issues faced by the Catalytic Projects and develop win-win solutions for both the public and private sectors.
2) PwC Malaysia was part of The Smart Nation Expo 2022 (27-29 September 2022) as co-exhibitors with MyDIGITAL. We showcased our involvement with the Catalytic Projects and highlighted three key areas where it can further support the digital ecosystem - upskilling of talent, adoption of digital marketplace, and embedding ESG approach in business.
The Public Listed Companies Transformation (PLCT) Programme was announced in October 2021 and officially launched by Bursa Malaysia in March 2022 to advance and drive a higher performing Corporate Malaysia. This programme is intended to enhance the attractiveness (‘investability’) of listed companies in Malaysia by strengthening the growth narratives of public listed companies (PLCs) of all sizes.

The Guidebooks are available on Bursa Malaysia’s website.
