Technology capabilities are fundamental to a country’s long-term economic well-being. NCIA has several initiatives in the pipeline that will enhance NCER’s competitiveness in the era of IR4.0. These include the Single Campus Initiative, NCER Technology Innovation Centre, as well as the continuation of CREST.
01
NCER SINGLE CAMPUS INITIATIVE
The Single Campus Hub concept will position the key manufacturing areas of Pulau Pinang, Kedah and Perak as a single campus to encourage collaboration between the three (3) states.
This initiative will create a more conducive ecosystem for the holistic development of key sectors by streamlining the value chains, value propositions, incentives, and cluster planning in the region’s manufacturing sector.
02
NCER TECHNOLOGY INNOVATION CENTRE (NTIC)
NTIC is an initiative that falls under the Single Campus Hub and will focus on activities related to research, product development and design customisation by providing services and facilities for Design and Consultancy, Product Development, as well as Research, Development and Commercialisation (R&D&C).
03
CREST 2.0
The Collaborative Research in Engineering, Science and Technology (CREST) 2.0 is another part of the Single Campus Hub initiative and is a continuation of the collaborative platform between the industry, academia and government. It serves as a catalyst for Malaysia’s economic growth, especially in the electrical and electronics (E&E) industry.
