CULTURE and heritage are two invaluable assets of Penang. In response to the lack of an integrated and comprehensive information on them, Sympologic Sdn Bhd has founded iGeorgeTown, a privately-driven and primarily privately-funded nine-channel information platform to benefit (1) a wide audience including local and international travellers and mass media consumers and (2) the local economy especially the travel and hospitality, and arts industries.

The addition of George Town to UNESCO’s World Heritage List on July 7, 2008, has also added new urgency for such a platform. Among the heritage and culture destinations the world over, George Town stands out as a living “intercultural city” with a mix of practices that has evolved from the contact and engagement of peoples from Southeast Asia, the Far East, the Indian Subcontinent, Europe and the Middle East. We will adopt this “living intercultural city” concept as the main theme of this project.
