Global Technological Alliances (GTA)
Global Technological Alliance (GTA) came into the vision to tackle several issues such as lack of international acknowledgment of the Technologist and Technician profession, absence of an international standard governing the education and competency development of Technologists and Technicians, which can limit global mobility and recognition as well as lack of an international organization, institution, or society specifically catering to the growth and needs of Technologists and Technicians which represents a significant obstacle to their professional development and recognition on the global stage.
GTA transcends mere cooperation; It represents a profound commitment to harnessing the synergies between diverse organizations, uniting strengths to address complex challenges and unearth transformative solutions. It offers founding organizations the opportunity to combine resources, wisdom, and skills. By harnessing the collective potential of technologists and technicians worldwide, this alliance can reshape the trajectory of technological advancement, leading us toward a future characterized by progress, sustainability, and shared prosperity.

MBOT As Provisional Signatory Of Seoul Accord
Malaysia Board of Technologists has been accepted as a provisional signatory of Seoul Accord which is a co-accreditation agreement involving 13 signatory countries for programme in the field of computing and information technology.
MBOT’s participation in Seoul Accord was supported and nominated by 2 full signatories namely Accreditation Board for Engineering Education of Korea (ABEEK), South Korea and Australian Computer Society (ACS), Australia. Both organisations conducted a benchmarking visit to witness the accreditation process of professional programmes conducted by MBOT in 2018 and acknowledged that the processes have met the requirements and standards of Seoul Accord.
The proactive step towards joining Seoul Accord is crucial to upgrade the computing and information technology programme accredited by MBOT as professional programmes that will be recognised by the signatory countries of Seoul Accord. This global recognition will give a positive impact in programme quality assurance, while increasing the marketability and industry acceptance of graduates generated by the programmes.
