About MTDC
Set up by the Government of Malaysia in 1992, MTDC was given the task to spearhead the development of technology businesses in Malaysia . Its initial role was to concentrate on the promotion and commercialization of local research and invest in new ventures that can bring in new technologies from abroad.
From those investment activities, MTDC has evolved to become a venture capital outfit and has been the leading venture capitalist in the country, long before the concept became familiar and accepted in Malaysia.
By the time other new venture capitalists came into being, MTDC has further evolved to become an integrated venture capital solutions provider, and has become the only company in the country to attain the status. Today, MTDC is the only one-stop agency where financing can be sourced from; all the way from laboratory ideas to full commercialization of such ideas.
We have been entrusted by the Malaysian Government to manage commercialization of R&D and acquisition of technology grants and developer of several technology incubator centers.
