MALAYSIAN OUTSOURCING BUSINESS LOOKS TO AUSTRALIA FOR GROWTH
KUALA LUMPUR, July 6 (Bernama) -- Outsourcing Malaysia (OM) is leading a
business delegation to Australia to promote partnerships between Malaysian and
Australian service and solutions providers.
Partnership and collaboration through a "smart partnership model" between
corporations of both countries will help Malaysian service providers to be
globally competitive and to reach out to wider markets, said OM, a chapter of
the Association of the Computer and Multimedia Industry of Malaysia (Pikom).
The business delegation will also serve as a platform for both Malaysian and
Australian service providers to formulate strategies to achieve mutual benefits
and collectively target markets beyond the two countries, it said in a statement
Tuesday.
With support from Multimedia Development Corporation (MDeC), the delegation
will cover two seminars, with one scheduled in Sydney on Aug 3 and the other
in Melbourne on Aug 5.
OM chairman David Wong said the seminars will provide opportunities for
Malaysian and Australian service and solutions providers to explore ways of
working together to achieve a common goal.
"It's the smart partnership model in action, this tapping into each other's
strength and expertise to get more business. It will help Malaysian service
providers to achieve our goal to become the global hub for high value services,"
he said.
Wong also cited Australia's strong economy as another strong reason for the
business mission.
"We must look beyond the country if we want to expand and go global and
Australia is a logical choice because both countries have strong diplomatic ties
and over the years, numerous agreements such as Asean-ANZFTA (Australia and New
Zealand Free Trade Agreement) and government-to-government trade agreements that
facilitated trade between Malaysia and Australia," he said.
The programme for the seminars will also feature roundtable discussions and
business-to-business meetings to enable both countries' participants to raise
and address each other's concerns.
The business mission is endorsed by MDeC, Malaysia External Trade
Development Corporation (Matrade) and the Australian Information Industry
Association.
