CYBERVIEW together with its subsidiary Futurise successfully hosted the Drone Hub Innovation for Future Talents (DRIFT) event, highlighting Malaysia’s dedication to advancing drone innovation and talent development.
The event featured the announcement of the Cyberjaya Drone Hub, the unveiling of the National Drone Sports Strategic Roadmap (NADSAR) 2023–2027, and the introduction of the Cyberjaya Drone Hero program.
The Cyberjaya Drone Hub, an initiative by Cyberview is designed to establish Cyberjaya as a thriving drone ecosystem built on key pillars such as drone sports development, community engagement, talent development, commercial opportunities, and a thriving industrial ecosystem.
With existing facilities like the Drone Testing Zone (DTZ) and testbeds, the Cyberjaya Drone Hub fosters innovation and collaboration.
Since 2019, the DTZ, supported by Drone Academy Asia, one of the first CAAM-approved Remote Pilot Training Organisations has trained over 2,300 remote pilots, conducted more than 150 training sessions, and logged over 2,000 flight hours, strengthening Cyberjaya’s leadership in Malaysia’s drone sector.
A key highlight of DRIFT was the unveiling of the National Drone Sports Strategic Roadmap (NADSAR) 2023–2027, an initiative by Futurise, via the National Academy for Drone Sports Excellence (AKSADRON).
NADSAR serves as a blueprint for Malaysia’s growth in drone sports, focusing on talent cultivation, industry partnerships, and regulatory enhancements.
It aligns with the government’s Visi Sukan Negara 2030 to advance emerging sports and technological innovation.
Speaking at the event, Kamarul Ariffin Abdul Samad, Chief Executive Officer of Cyberview Sdn Bhd, emphasised the significance of DRIFT 2024 in advancing Malaysia’s drone ecosystem;
Cyberjaya has been at the heart of Malaysia’s digital journey since the MSC days, evolving into a thriving ecosystem for technology, talent, and innovation.
"Today, we are proud to take another step forward, solidifying Cyberjaya as Malaysia’s Drone Hub,” he said.
The Cyberjaya Drone Hero program, a collaboration between Cyberview and Futurise through AKSADRON, was introduced as a pillar under the Cyberjaya Drone Hub.
Focused on developing talent in drone sports, CDH provides hands-on training, competitive opportunities, and exposure to advanced technologies.
By aligning with NADSAR’s objectives, the programme empowers students and drone enthusiasts with STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) skills and encourages participation from schools and universities nationwide.
To date, the Cyberjaya Drone Hero programme has engaged and trained over 200 students from 14 academic institutions across Malaysia, including SMK Cyberjaya, Sekolah Seri Puteri Cyberjaya, Politeknik Banting, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, and Universiti Tun Abdul Razak .
During the event, two pivotal Letters of Intent (LOIs) were exchanged, emphasising the dedication to advancing drone technology and talent cultivation in Malaysia.
The first LOI was signed between Cyberview and Drone Academy Asia, while the second LOI was signed between Futurise and UMPSA Advanced a wholly-owned company of Universiti Malaysia Pahang Al-Sultan Abdullah, supporting the initiatives under AKSADRON.
Beyond industry innovation, DRIFT 2024 seeks to engage local communities, raising awareness about the potential of drone sports and creating an inclusive, tech-savvy culture.
Schools, universities, and stakeholders will come together to drive grassroots participation, fostering a sense of excitement and ownership in this emerging field.
“As we move forward, Cyberview is committed in creating an inclusive and dynamic drone ecosystem. Through today’s engagements, let’s spark new ideas, collaborations, and inspiration to build a future that thrives on innovation and talent,” said Kamarul Ariffin.
The collaboration between Cyberview and Futurise demonstrates a cohesive effort to advance Malaysia’s technology ecosystem.
By driving initiatives such as the Cyberjaya Drone Hub, NADSAR, and the Cyberjaya Drone Hero programme, Cyberview is committed to build a dynamic ecosystem that bridges industry and community through sports, positioning Malaysia as a global leader in drone innovation and technology. - 7KLIK
