Optimising Cost, Cloud, and AI to Drive Growth
About this event
In an era when CIOs are increasingly measured by their ability to drive revenue growth, the challenge of optimising costs, modernising infrastructure, and innovating simultaneously has never been more critical.
Malaysia’s dynamic digital economy, supported by ambitious government initiatives and regional leadership, sets the perfect stage for technology leaders to explore transformative strategies.
In championing the convergence of ASEAN and APEC digital economies under the ASEAN Digital Economy Framework Agreement (DEFA), Investment, Trade and Industry Minister Datuk Seri Tengku Zafrul Abdul Aziz underscored the importance of ethical AI adoption, robust data governance, and cybersecurity to foster safe, interoperable AI standards across the region.
