The global innovation index 2019 has reported Malaysia ranking 30th for innovation capability pillar, and 32nd for both infrastructure and ICT adoption. Globally we are fully equipped to properly prosper in the innovation-based industry. Yet since 2018 until 2019 the Global Competitiveness Report shows that Malaysia has not improved consistently, while the new government agenda plan wishes to focus in the innovation market.

According to various Malaysian researchers the current state can be improved by establishing a proper local environment or habitat for innovation to flourish. Currently Malaysia is capitalising on lessons from existing foreign innovative environments and structures. These spaces are unique to their own ecosystems which are not in comparison to our own local surroundings.
