The Ministry of Science Technology and Innovation (MOSTI) are constantly looking at new and innovative ideas, solutions, platforms and scientific discoveries that will benefit Malaysians.

One of the key pillars it focuses on is the use of technology and digitalization as a means of delivery of key public services to the rakyat. Last year, MOSTI took the bold step of calling on all innovators, software engineers, subject matter experts – as well as concerned Malaysians, to come together to help co-create solutions that will help improve how these services are delivered, and thereby improve the wellbeing of the rakyat. 

MOSTI has organised a nationwide series of hackathons called MYHackathon. We catch up with Rafizah Ghazali, group CEO of Cradle Fund to learn more.
