What is the Malaysia Digital Catalyst Grant (MDCG)?

The Malaysia Digital Catalyst Grant (MDCG) is a strategic initiative designed to catalyse the use and development of disruptive, innovative, and sustainable solutions within Malaysia Digital (MD) promoted sectors. It supports projects that align with the National Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) Policy, fostering long-term growth in the Malaysia Digital MD ecosystem.

This digital catalyst grant (MDCG) is strictly allocated for co-creation, problem-solving, development, and commercialisation of innovative solutions, in collaboration with an end-user partner, including shared ownership subsidiary companies or other related business entities. MDCG encourages participation from companies with shared ownership, either directly or through user including shared ownership models, as long as they meet the Malaysia Digital MD status criteria and are incorporated in Malaysia.

Objectives of the Malaysia Digital Catalyst Grant

The key objectives of MDCG include:

a) To support the scaling up of Malaysian-based technology companies via co-creation, problem-solving, innovation, development, and commercialisation of disruptive or innovative solutions, focused on Malaysia Digital promoted sectors and relevant tech enablers.

b) To improve productivity, service quality, and operational efficiency across digital MD promoted sectors, with strategic impact across industry verticals.

These objectives emphasize problem-solving, innovation, and development as the backbone of the MDCG initiative, driving the transformation of Malaysia’s digital landscape.
