We at BitQuest are thrilled to announce our recent recognition at the prestigious 2023 World Digital Economy & Technology (WDET) Summit held in Penang, Malaysia. Organized by the esteemed KSI Strategic Institute for Asia Pacific, this summit served as a platform to delve into the impact of digitalization on Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) standards and how digital technology can bolster sustainability efforts across industries.
The summit featured a distinguished panel of speakers, including prominent figures like our CEO Dr. Sharlene Thiagarajah, Ms. Barbara Meynert, Mr. Shazali Sulaiman, Ms. Arina Kok, Mr. Girish Mavath, Mr. Murugason R. Thangaratnam, and Ms. Shikha Kedia Bharadwaj. Moderated by Adj. Practice Professor Cheah Kok Hoong, the discussions centered around pivotal topics shaping the future of digital sustainability.
Dr. Sharlene Thiagarajah, our CEO, shared illuminating insights into BitQuest's pivotal role in driving digital sustainability. BitQuest is dedicated to crafting solutions that prioritize efficiency, productivity, and the optimal utilization of resources. Our innovative smart utilities solution, for instance, actively monitors non-revenue water leakages, while our streamlined workforce management system seamlessly connects stakeholders on a singular platform, enhancing overall operational effectiveness.
Of particular interest to the audience was BitQuest's involvement in supporting the Central Forest Spine (CFS) program. Collaborating with Jabatan Perhutanan Negeri Selangor (JPNS), BitQuest aims to address the fragmentation of forests caused by unchecked development, logging, agricultural expansion, and deforestation. By utilizing digital technology, BitQuest endeavors to contribute significantly to the creation of a safe forest corridor, fostering connectivity among diverse jungle ecosystems.
At BitQuest, we firmly believe in the pivotal role of Research and Development (R&D) in propelling corporate growth, profitability, and contributing to Malaysia's economic ambitions. Innovation isn't merely about creating new knowledge but also about consistently delivering value and making a tangible business impact.
The global scarcity of skilled talent is a challenge faced across industries. BitQuest is committed to nurturing Malaysia as a talent hub, recognizing that Foreign Direct Investments (FDIs) gravitate toward regions rich in skilled professionals. We are devoted to fostering a dynamic environment where talent thrives, understanding that our people are the cornerstone of our success.
The "2023 World Digital Business Excellence Award" bestowed upon BitQuest at the WDET Summit is a testament to our unwavering commitment to digital innovation, sustainability, and contributing to a brighter, more connected future.
Stay tuned for more updates as we continue our journey toward digital excellence and sustainable progress at BitQuest!
