KEYNOTE SPEAKERS: INVESTMENT PERSPECTIVE ON DEEP
TECHNOLOGY
‘Deep Technology’ includes artificial intelligence and machine
learning,
materials, advanced manufacturing, biotechnology and nanotechnology,
drones and robotics, photonics and electronics, cleantech, spacetech
and
lifesciences (Source: International Finance Corporation). The term
‘deep
tech’ is used when the research and breakthroughs in the fields have
the
potential for commercialisation. Over the years, deep tech companies
are
attracting significant attention and investments worldwide. Time
will
tell whether the new deep tech ventures would succeed, or which
investments would yield the greatest returns, or how much time is
needed
for the investments to be realised. Yet, we see deep tech investment
is
already fast-tracking a number of projects into unicorns. What do
all
these successful deep tech ventures share in common in terms of
their
attributes? What can we learn from them?

FORUM 1:
The government announced that it is focusing on attracting more
high-quality and sustainable investments into the country. These
investments will be expanded into high-value clusters such as in
emerging technologies including digital technologies, so as to create a
high return to the economy. At the same time, the government is planning
to transform the country into a supply chain hub in Asia. This
initiative will not only accelerate the development of innovative
products and services but also help extend domestic linkages as well as
build and enhance bilateral ties and trade relations.
Much work is needed to ensure the country remains as an ideal
destination for Fortune 500 companies and emerging unicorns. Given the
importance of enhancing and sustaining investments, the country needs to
further develop its investment climate.
The forum ‘Strengthening Malaysian Sustainable Investment’ will discuss
how private investors are to come together to strengthen the investment
in the country assist government‘s efforts in growing tech-based
companies. Issues on current investment incentives as compared to
ASEAN’s will also be deliberated.

FORUM 2:
The global aerospace market was recorded at $298 billion in 2020. With
an expected growth rate of 7.7% to $430.7 billion in 2025, the numbers
are too staggering to ignore especially when Malaysia has the industry,
technology and government will to participate. Already, some Malaysian
manufacturers are exporting high-mix-low-volume aerospace components to
the likes of Rolls Royce and Honeywell.
In charting the aerospace industry forward, the government has launched
the Malaysian Aerospace Industry Blueprint 2030 (MAIB20203). The
Blueprint envisioned the country to be the top aerospace nation in
South-East Asia and becoming an integral part of the global supply
chain.
To strengthen the local aerospace ecosystem, the government has pledged
through the blueprint its commitment to catalyse the competencies and
technological capabilities of the local industries through various
initiatives including the introduction and assimilation of advanced
technologies as identified under Industry 4.0.
This forum explores the intricate dynamics of our local supply chain and
its pivotal role in driving technology-driven transformation.

FORUM 3:
The electronics industry is changing rapidly as quickly as the
electronic products. Though the growth of the electronics industry in
this country is an exciting prospect, it also produces several
challenges that require solutions in order for the electronics industry
to remain profitable.
The current industry is known to face three big challenges, namely,
monitoring a complicated supply chain, maintaining quality management,
and predicting customer demand. To address the current challenges, usage
of current solutions may not be adequate considering how fast paced and
highly competitive the industry is. A solution may be obsolete not long
after its deployment.
The forum discusses how forward thinking is required to come out with
vanguard solutions - how to manage outsourced products and processes
together with customer demands for quality, new technology, and speedy
delivery. Additionally, is the need to develop educational programme to
address shortage of skilled workers and professionals in the E&E
industry.

FORUM 4:
Food security is about the ability of a population to access sufficient,
safe, and nutritious food to meet their dietary needs. Food safety is
about addressing the potential hazards in the processes of food
production – from harvesting, handling, preparation, storage and
transport. Sustainability, on the other hand, is about the ability of a
food production system in meeting the needs of the present generation
without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own
needs.
Hence, in this forum, we will focus our discussions on the important
role of technologies such as precision agriculture, smart irrigation
systems, automated farming systems, livestock management systems,
artificial intelligence and machine learning and etc in ensuring
sustainability in agriculture and subsequently the food’s safety and
security. Are there resistance in the adoption of technology in
agriculture? Does the transfer of technology happen at a desirable rate?

FORUM 5:
An industrial revolution signifies an enormous technological and
processes disruption, which symbolises a newfound level of human
productivity. This is clearly demonstrated in the 4th Industrial
Revolution (4IR) that we are in now. The technology has become so
sophisticated, highly complex and converging, either physically,
biologically and digitally, such that we would find it difficult to
differentiate “what is real” and “what is not”.
Hence, the 4IR has brought about and resulted some dramatic changes in
the ways businesses operate. It has become so deeply ingrained in our
everyday life, something unimaginable just a few years ago. The world
has witnessed how 4IR technologies can help businesses to become more
sophisticated, production processes better optimised and
resource-efficient. It is clear that businesses that embrace 4IR
technologies have the potential to become more sustainable, while those
that do not risk being left behind.
A new normal for us, humans. Not only would it impact the way we live,
work and play, it may even dictate how we should behave and adapt to the
new way of life. Depending on its applications and the intended usage,
it could either be a boon or doom. The 4IR could either be a blessing or
a nightmare to some or it could either simplifies or complicates
matters.

FORUM 6:
In line with the so-called 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and
the Paris Agreement, the new mantra post Covid-19 is to “recover
greener” or “build back better”. The main purpose of the plans is to
establish a new economic system in sync with the ecological system.
Hence there is a need for a transition towards a green economy.
Energy is the vital component to lubricate and keeps the economic wheels
going. In ensuring a much greener economy, a green energy option is
vital. An energy transformation is much needed to move out from the
current fossil fuel-intensive energy system towards a cleaner renewable
energy. This will increase not only energy efficiency but help
conservation efforts as well. The energy transition will have a major
impact on our societies, economies and environment. We must not ignore
the social and economic implications of this transition, and how green
technology can help us achieve it.
