4 About CREST Launched in June 2012, CREST was formed to address Malaysia s E&E needs for: An INDUSTRY-LED ORGANISATION to drive R&D and innovation A PLATFORM FOR LOCAL & MNC COMPANIES to form a formidable R&D ecosystem A sustainable pipeline for INDUSTRY-RELEVANT R&D GRADUATES 4

5 Our Vision CREST envisions to be a world recognized Centre for Research & Collaboration in the E&E sector. Malaysia, in the year 2020, aims to be a strategic E&E center for leading global E&E players and domestic champions, offering high value money with a deep pool of talents. We will focus on design and development and high-complexity manufacturing and build leading edge capabilities in the area of ecologically sustainable technologies. ~PEMANDU, Electronics & Electrical Lab 2010

6 CREST is An Industry-led catalyst for the growth of Malaysia s E&E industry. CREST accelerates economic growth by driving collaboration between the Industry, Academia and Government. CREST sparks a vibrant R&D ecosystem by spearheading activities in 3 areas: R&D, Talent Development and Commercialization. We just turned two! as of June 2014
