THE Bandar Utama township in Petaling Jaya has been awarded the MSC Malaysia Cybercentre status.
“With this status, Bandar Utama is committed to providing a globally competitive environment integrated with world-class infrastructure to support the growth of ICT and ICT-enabled industries within the Klang Valley,” Bandar Utama City Corporation director Datuk Teo Chiang Kok said during the official launch at the One World Hotel recently.
There are two zones under the Bandar Utama MSC Malaysia Cybercentre: the Bandar Utama City Centre (BUCC) and Bandar Utama Technology Park.
The City Centre houses two office buildings, the Plaza IBM and the KPMG Tower, with another new office tower known as 1, First Avenue scheduled to be completed by the end of next year.
A 1.2ha purpose-built building, a part of the Bandar Utama Technology Park, has been upgraded and ready to receive MSC Status companies as tenants.
Multimedia Development Corporation (MDeC) chief executive officer Datuk Badlisham Ghazali said there were now 15 MSC Cybercities and Cybercentres nationwide to help address the diverse business needs and locational requirements of different ICT industry segments.
Deputy Science, Technology and Innovation Minister Fadillah Yusof launched the event.
