During the late 20th Century, telecommunication and electronic
innovation like computers and mobile phones used to be the catalyst for
economic growth, and the world experienced the dot-com bubble around
year 2000 when over-optimism turned into disappointment.
Since then, technology soared and we witnessed countless amazing
changes in the last 10 years - smart phones and tablets, 4G, cashless
payment, virtual/augmented reality etc.
There are more and more newly listed companies in Bursa which are
categorised under technology sector. Technology companies listed on
Bursa are generally divided into hardware (e.g. semiconductors, LEDs,
other electronic components sensors, Bluetooth receiver etc), software

They are grouped into more specific clusters under the nature of their
business, as illustrated in the picture below to help us better
