The National Tech Association of Malaysia (PIKOM)
Founded in 1986, PIKOM — short for Persatuan Industri Komputer dan Multimedia Malaysia — is the National Tech Association of Malaysia, representing the voice and interest of the nation’s dynamic technology industry. Today, PIKOM comprises over 2,000 active member companies, which collectively contribute more than 80% of the total output of Malaysia’s Digital Economy.
The TECH industry accounted for RM427.7 billion, or 23.5% of the country’s GDP in 2023, and is projected to grow to 25.5% by 2025, underscoring the sector’s critical role in national economic development.
As a non-profit association, PIKOM is governed by a Council elected annually by its members at the Annual General Meeting (AGM). The association remains steadfast in its mission to drive growth, innovation, and competitiveness across Malaysia’s tech ecosystem.
