The Connectivity Revolution

ABOUT THIS SESSION

YTL’s expansion into the digital realm by building telecommunication services, data centers and technological applications, support Malaysia’s vision to become an AI nation. These facilities are vital for meeting the growing demand for cloud services and digital infrastructure, positioning Malaysia as a key player in the tech landscape. From the onset, YTL has been a pioneering force in Malaysia's technological landscape.
