In the next day, we moved from Singapore to Malaysia to visit NTT Data Center in Cyberjaya and the automated driving test facility in MARATHI, a Malaysian Research Accelerator for Technology & Innovation. After that, there was the dinner between JCC and Industry in Malaysia.


Although the visit lasted only three days and two nights, it was a valuable opportunity to gain new insights into the latest trends in the environment, information and telecommunications, and other industrial fields that were expected to grow in the future in the two countries. The details of this visit will be introduced in the May issue of the “Shoho”.
