Recent strategic developments include the 2024 joint venture with Gamuda Berhad to deliver air-gapped Google Distributed Cloud (GDC) sovereign cloud services, enhancing AI-powered automation, security, and cloud infrastructure for Malaysia's digital transformation; partnerships with Google Cloud to bolster cloud computing and AI solutions; and continued focus on SilTerra turnaround post its 2021 acquisition for RM273 million in partnership with CGP Fund, aiming to boost factory utilization, shift to higher-margin products, integrate new technologies, and access global markets amid semiconductor demand growth.
