Ministry of International Trade & Industry or in short MITI is the main Ministry in Malaysia that champions Malaysian industries' transformation as well as the development of investment and trade policies. The Ministry's history started since the 1950's and it plays an important role in developing the Malaysian economic landscape - from an agri-based nation in the 60's to a nation driven by digitalisation, high-technology and sustainability now. MITI is also the focal point for Malaysian industry players from multiple manufacturing and services sectors to seek guidance and facilitation in Industry 4.0 and with their Certificate of Origin endorsement as well as Approved Permit application. MITI has 10 agencies under its purview and these agencies include MIDA, MATRADE, MARii, Invest KL, Sirim Berhad, Standards Malaysia, Exim Bank, HDC, MIDF, MPC and MSI.
