In line with the MADANI Economy aspirations and the New Industrial Master Plan (NIMP) 2030, a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the Ministry of Higher Education (MoHE) and MIDA was signed on 7 May 2024 at MIDA HQ. This initiative aims to create skilled graduates to position Malaysia among the world’s top 30 economies by 2033.

The event also launched the MoHE Research and Industry-Infused Incubator (MRI3) portal, involving 19 public universities and 27 companies in the electrical and electronics (E&E) industry. The MRI3 portal allows companies to advertise training opportunities while students can apply and upload resumes.

These initiatives address the skills mismatch between the workforce and industry needs. MIDA and MoHE will continue to collaborate to meet industry demands.

The event featured MOUs on workforce development with Micron Memory Malaysia, Stellantis Gurun, and Inari Technology, enhancing graduate employability and boosting Malaysia’s industrial competitiveness.
