BIG DATA ANALYSTICS LAUNCHED AT MIMOS

National research and development agency, Mimos, has launched the Big Data Analytics (BDA) Digital Government Lab (DGL), which is part of the wider Digital Government Innovation Network (DGOIN), an initiative to accelerate BDA adoption in Malaysia.

The launching ceremony was officiated by Science, Technology and Innovation Minister Datuk Dr Ewon Ebin at the Mimos campus here yesterday. The BDA-DGL is an initiative resulting from a tripartite memorandum of understanding between Mimos, the Modernisation and Management Planning Unit ( Mampu ) and Multimedia 

Development Corporation (MDec) signed in January 2015.

Dr Ewon said the Government was serious in implementing BDA in line with expanding the country’s science, technology and innovation agenda.
