Mr. Alex Liew
PIKOM Chairman
It is a tremendous honor to serve as the Chairman of PIKOM for the 2024/2025 term. As we navigate the ever-evolving technological landscape, I am filled with optimism and a deep sense of responsibility to lead our association towards greater heights. The world of technology is changing at an unprecedented pace, and it is our shared mission to embrace these changes, adapt swiftly, and champion the interests of our members.
Together with the newly appointed Council, I am committed to fostering a culture of collaboration, innovation, and inclusivity. By harnessing the transformative power of emerging technologies, we aim to ensure that Malaysia remains not just relevant but competitive on the global digital stage. Our vision is clear: to position PIKOM as a driving force behind the nation’s digital economy, while empowering our members to thrive in this dynamic environment.
Our focus for this term is centered on three key priorities:
- Expanding Regional Engagement and Inclusivity
- We are dedicated to ensuring that every member, regardless of their geographical location, benefits from PIKOM’s programs and initiatives. By increasing engagement and activities in underserved regions, we aim to foster a truly united and thriving tech community that embraces diversity and inclusivity.
- Recognizing and Celebrating Innovation
- Our efforts will highlight and celebrate the achievements of industry players who are pushing the boundaries of technology and driving innovation forward. Through recognition programs and showcasing success stories, we aim to inspire excellence and encourage greater contributions from all sectors.
- Driving Malaysia’s Digital Transformation Agenda
- Under the leadership of the new Council, we are launching transformative initiatives that nurture talent, create digital opportunities, and support our members. By championing policies and programs aligned with the nation’s goals, we aim to cement Malaysia’s position as a global leader in the digital economy.
PIKOM’s strength lies in its Chapters and Committees, which serve as vital platforms for engagement, knowledge-sharing, and collaboration. By leveraging these structures, we can better address the diverse needs of our members and create targeted programs that benefit specific industries and regions. Additionally, we will capitalize on our international platforms, such as WITSA, ASOCIO, and APICTA, to elevate our members’ visibility and influence on the global stage. These alliances will enable us to showcase Malaysia’s tech capabilities, build strategic partnerships, and drive innovation beyond our borders.
As we step into 2025, I invite each of you to join us on this journey of progress. Let us work hand in hand to shape a future where technology uplifts lives, businesses, and communities. Together, we can build a resilient and innovative tech ecosystem that cements Malaysia’s position as a global leader in the digital economy.
