Malaysia Debt Ventures Berhad

Malaysia Debt Ventures Berhad (MDV) was established by the Government of Malaysia in 2002 with the objective of providing flexible and innovative financing facilities to develop high-impact and technology-driven sectors of the economy, that are identified and prioritised by the Government as future engines of growth. This segment of Malaysian companies is generally underserved by commercial financial institutions, creating a funding gap faced by companies from within these sectors, particularly for technology-based Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises (SMEs). As the nation progressed, MDV’s mandate expanded to eventually cover Information and Communications Technology (ICT), Biotechnology and Green Technology. In 2014, MDV included Emerging Technology as part of its technology mandate. As one of the financing agencies in Malaysia focusing on technology-driven sectors, MDV positions itself as the technology financier in Malaysia.
