The Malaysia External Trade Development Corporation (MATRADE) and Deloitte Malaysia welcomed the new batch of high performing Mid-Tier Companies (MTCs) at today’s Mid-Tier Companies Development Programme (MTCDP) Wave 9 Kick Off at Menara MATRADE.
Since its inception in 2014, MTCDP has successfully groomed 300 MTCs in various industries through tailored business interventions and customized activities to enhance their global competitiveness. A total of 26 new MTCs were onboarded to the programme today, where 14 of them from the manufacturing sector and the remaining 12 from the services sector.
“As we have MTCs with different levels of growth participating in Wave 9, we believe our platform accommodates the requirements of companies at all stages of development. We are confident that this diverse mix of MTCs will create a thriving and dynamic environment for cooperation, education, and progress, which will benefit not just individual companies but also the Malaysian business landscape,” said Datuk Mohd Mustafa Abdul Aziz, CEO of MATRADE.
This year, the implementation of MTCDP will be aligned with the core values of “Malaysia MADANI”, particularly sustainability and innovation.
“MTCs are the leader in our domestic supply chain. By adopting MADANI’s framework into, they will emerge as caring, compassionate and respectful organisations, especially in guiding Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) as their vendors. MTCs will also be able to contribute towards socio-economic growth including job creation and undertake corporate social responsibilities (CSR) activities within local communities,” he added.
MATRADE is seeking more potential MTCs to be part of this exciting journey, towards developing their export capabilities. Recruitment for each wave is open all year round and applicants will be shortlisted during the Q4 of every year.
