Niaga SPOTLIGHT: Wanita MyWira and Malaysia’s gender-powered economy

Malaysia has just launched the first World Economic Forum-backed women’s economic accelerator in ASEAN — Wanita MyWira- designed to train and secure high-value jobs for 100,000 women in AI, green transition and digital sectors.
The accelerator also aligns directly with the ASEAN region’s push for inclusive economic resilience amidst slowing global growth.

On NIAGA Spotlight, Tehmina Kaoosji speaks with Nazrul Aziz, Group Chief Strategy Officer, TalentCorp and Nurul A’in Abdul Latif, Executive Chair, PWC Malaysia and Chair, 30% Club Malaysia to discuss key areas:

Creating fast-track entry pathways for women into AI, green energy and digital jobs
Embedding flexible work and childcare support models through TalentCorp’s policy enforcement
Linking training to mandatory employer placement targets to ensure real income mobility
Supporting re-entry of highly skilled women who left the workforce due to care responsibilities

Can Wanita MyWira shift Malaysia’s economic trajectory by closing the 22-point gender participation gap and unlocking billions in GDP? Tune in for this timely discussion!
