The Multimedia Development Corporation (MDeC) are the custodians of the Malaysian Super Corridor (MSC) Malaysian Initiative and continue to develop the local creative content industry by the foundation of the Malaysian Animation Creative Content Centre (MAC3) in CyberJaya whilst also developing a new business matching programme aimed at increasing the potential of local content creators.

The MAC3, envisioned as a strategic facility to complement the existing infrastructure in MSC Malaysia, especially the Creative Applications & Development Centre (CADC), is expected to significantly accelerate the development, and create awareness, of the digital content industry in Malaysia.

This is in line with the objectives of the MSC Malaysia Creative Multimedia Content Initiative (M-CMCI) launched by the Prime Minister Dato’ Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi in April 2006.

Amongst its many functions, MAC3 will be responsible to encourage the creation of more local content through dedicated funding set up exclusively for the purpose. MAC3 will also implement an Industry Acceleration Training programme that will create the right jobs for the industry, to fulfill both the local as well as international demands for such skills. To achieve this, MAC3 will also work with the local industry and MNCs operating in Malaysia to ensure that digital content companies have the opportunity to participate on world-class projects.
