Malaysia

Greater Kuala Lumpur

Malaysia's national capital for finance, applied research and startups. Four districts anchor the ecosystem: a research-commercialisation belt at Bukit Jalil, a central business district at the KL Golden Triangle, a tech and business corridor from KL Sentral to Bangsar South, and Cyberjaya — Malaysia's original purpose-built tech city, 40km south.
