“The Malaysia Design Innovation Centre has a pivotal role to play in driving national competitiveness through superior design, branding and innovation. In this field, the experience gained by Italy is second to none and I will be glad to encourage ever increasing cooperation and joint venture initiatives between Italy and Malaysia through exhibition and intellectual exchanges.

Creativity between Italy and Malaysia will be shared at best, I am convinced, in the new Design and Innovation Centre. With the innovation centre as its strategic partner, Limkokwing will no doubt be a most exciting and unique education hub.”
