Innovation is no longer just about new technology. Indeed, innovations in the way companies do business can have a bigger impact on their success than new technology alone. Innovation has become the life-blood of any organisation and provides organisations with the competitive edge to accelerate growth and to drive productivity and profitability through improvements in products and services, business processes, and stakeholder impact amongst others.Realising the importance of innovation in Malaysia’s push towards becoming an advanced, high-income nation by 2020, the government passed the AIM Act 2010 which created a statutory body, Agensi Inovasi Malaysia (AIM) to spearhead the National Innovation Strategy (Innovating Malaysia). AIM is administered by a 17-member Governance Council chaired by the Prime Minister.Innovating Malaysia Conference 2015 is an exciting platform to help you move your technology forward.
