Did you know that there will be half a billion 5G subscriptions globally in 2022, according to Ericsson Mobility Report?

5G, with its unique capabilities, will enable organizations to move into new markets and build new revenue streams, support transformation of all industries, and enable new functionality for people and society. As we move towards a smart digital nation by 2020, private and public sectors will be working in close partnership to explore and capture the opportunities brought about by the next generation’s mobile technology and help Malaysia achieve its vision of a connected society.

Following the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) in 2015 between Ericsson, the driving force behind the Networked Society and a world leader in communications and technology services, and Universiti Technologi Malaysia (UTM), an innovation-led and graduate-focused Research University, we are delighted to be officially launching the Malaysia’s first Innovation Centre for 5G in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

The ceremony will be officiated by Yang Berhormat Dato’ Seri Idris Jusoh, Minister of Higher Education, and hosted by YBhg. Prof. Datuk Ir. Dr. Wahid bin Omar, Vice Chancellor, UTM and Mr. Todd Ashton, President, Ericsson Malaysia and Sri Lanka.

On behalf of UTM and Ericsson, we cordially invite you to this ceremony which will take place on 16 December 2016 (Friday), 9.00 am at Dewan Azman Hashim, Menara Razak, UTM Kuala Lumpur
