On 8 & 9 November 2023, the Malaysia Productivity Corporation (MPC) has organized the ‘Productivity Step Up For Construction Sector’ Program in collaboration with CIDB Johor and MSC Cyberport Sdn.

This program is conducted specifically for the construction industry which aims to encourage the use of digital applications in increasing the productivity and efficiency of companies in that sector.

The program has been conducted at the MPC Hall of the Southern Region,for 2 days and involved 20 participants from 17 companies in the construction sector from Johor. As a Technology Consultant appointed by MPC in this program, MSC Cyberport has collaborated with Pahang Skills to use drone technology as a method to increase efficiency in the construction sector. The participants will be exposed theoretically and practically related to the drone’s usage that can be implemented in their construction project.

After the program ends, the participants will be provided with a free drone by MSC Cyberport. The Drone handover session was carried out by Mr. Yusuf, Robotics Engineer from MSC Cyberport to all  companies that have fully involved throughout the program.
