Welcome to the MDBC Awards Program
THE MALAYSIAN DUTCH BUSINESS COUNCIL INNOVATION & SUSTAINABILITY AWARDS (MISA)
The Netherlands prides itself on green initiatives and it has a long and successful history of innovation. For many years, it has led the world in new innovations and policies that strive to increase sustainability. Combined with Malaysia’s focus and efforts to nurture innovation and sustainability, it was a logical step for MDBC to create an Awards Program highlighting these focus areas.
MDBC’s unique and innovative Awards Program is a platform to showcase the best practices of companies in the areas of Sustainability and Innovation, recognizing them for their excellence and trailblazing spirit in these fields. Initiated in 2011 together with the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, the Awards Program started out as the MDBC Sustainability Awards (MSA) and was expanded to the MDBC Innovation & Sustainability Awards (MISA) in 2017. It has steadily grown and provides a way for companies to benchmark their efforts against leaders in these fields.
Over the past few weeks you have seen several announcements on the MDBC Innovation & Sustainability Awards (MISA ’21 / ’22). From the feedback received, we understand that a lot of us are still adjusting to the reopening of the country, ramping up businesses back to normal levels, adjusting to opportunities for business and personal travel, and dealing with external supply chain issues. As such, we continue to receive requests for extensions on the submission period. We therefore, find it a lot safer to announce a postponement of the event to later in the year.
We would sincerely like to thank those who have already submitted their nomination forms, they will still be eligible.
Categories are:
1. Outstanding Dutch Investor in Malaysia (MNC)
2. Outstanding Dutch Investor in Malaysia (SME)
3. Outstanding Malaysian Investor in the Netherlands
4. Outstanding Malaysian Exporter to NL / EU
5. Promising (new) Dutch SME to Malaysia
6. Outstanding Dutch – Malaysian Partnership
7. Best Flexible Work Arrangements Program

With these award categories, and being part of the MDBC 25th Anniversary celebrations, we call on all our members to get inspired again! To connect with a versatile network again! If you are looking to expand your organisation’s knowledge and skillset in trade and investment, then MISA ’21 / ’22 is the perfect fit for you.
