World AI Show Returns to Kuala Lumpur with MDEC as Strategic Partner.
MDEC's involvement highlights Malaysia's bold digital vision. With the MyDIGITAL Blueprint and a renewed National AI Strategy in motion, the country is positioning itself as the AI hub of Southeast Asia. The World AI Show will bring together policymakers, innovators, business leaders, and investors to discuss how AI and cloud technologies can drive Malaysia's digital economy forward.
The timing could not have been better. With billions being invested into cloud regions, data centres, and AI infrastructure, Malaysia is fast becoming a key destination for technology, innovation, and growth.
"The advent of AI-particularly Generative AI-has further enabled the transformation of digital ambitions into digital realities," said Tze Phei Tee, Group Chief Information Officer at Wasco Berhad. "For a high-potential country like Malaysia, now is the time to leverage AI and data more effectively to build a business-friendly ecosystem."
The summit's agenda is built around practical, high-impact themes, from advancing Malaysia's National AI Strategy to driving digital transformation in critical sectors like financial services, healthcare, and manufacturing. Attendees can expect deep dives into the actionable steps required to deploy AI, build data infrastructure, and navigate the ethics of responsible adoption. For investors and VCs, the event will also feature the FutureTech World Cup, a global startup competition where promising AI ventures will pitch for funding and partnerships.
