Key message from Datuk Khairul: _"There is no AI economy without world-class ICT infrastructure, and there is no world-class ICT infrastructure without world-class talent."_
The conference tackles AI-ready infrastructure, data centres, cloud, cybersecurity, liquid cooling, and sustainable design โ all critical to building Malaysiaโs future as a leading digital hub.
