“7 years ago, Iskandar Malaysia took the first, bold step towards becoming a smart city and launched its own smart city framework called ‘Smart City Iskandar Malaysia’ (SCIM). Now, we are ecstatic to see the national-level Malaysia Smart City Framework becoming a reality and accelerating the nation’s aim to be a smart nation while helping to reinforce our established framework, “said Datuk Ismail Ibrahim, Chief Executive of Iskandar Regional Development Authority (IRDA).

Iskandar Malaysia’s smart city effort is also globally recognised as the region partners with the likes of the United Nations, UK’s Foreign & Commonwealth Office, Hewlett Packard and Society D’Amanagement amongst others.
Iskandar Malaysia’ focuses on 6 dimensions being Smart Economy, Smart Environment, Smart Mobility, Smart Governance, Smart Living and Smart Mobility.
The 6 dimensions cover the economic, social and environmental spectrum from end- to-end, in line with the region’s development plan and vision to become a strong and sustainable metropolis of international standing.
