KOTA KINABALU: The state government is focused on ramping up digitalisation efforts to maximise tapping into the digital economy, says Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor.
"We are leveraging technology and innovation to boost productivity and growth," he said at the Sabah Chinese Economic Conference here on Wednesday .
"Digital experience makes all the difference, and businesses which do not invest in such to stay relevant and competitive will fail," he said, adding that the digital economy is expected to contribute 22.6% of the nation's gross domestic product for Malaysia and create half a million jobs by 2025. "Your embarking on AI and drones as new tools of our economic development deserves support," he said in his speech read by state Finance Minister Datuk Seri Masidi Manjun.
"To be competitive, we need to be more creative and proactive by taking full advantage of digital technologies and the use of virtual reality, among others," he said.
