Mida bridges academic-industrial collaboration between Panasonic, UM


Mida deputy chief executive officer II Ahmad Khairuddin Abdul Rahim, who witnessed the signing ceremony, said Panasonic’s presence in Malaysia is the prime example of how business and technology evolve as the company has been continuously making necessary adjustments to reskill its talent and shift towards automation and robotics.

PETALING JAYA: The Malaysian Investment Development Authority (Mida) has helped to foster the cooperation between Panasonic Appliances Air-conditioning Malaysia Sdn Bhd (PAPAMY) and Universiti Malaya (UM) to establish an academic-industrial collaboration.
