Malaysia’s MYEG and China’s Beitou IT Innovation are to jointly set up the Malaysia-China AI Innovation and Cooperation Centre.
In conjunction with the signing of a Government-to-Government MoU, the two companies have been selected to jointly establish a one-of-a-kind G2G lab that brings together leading AI companies from China and ASEAN to jointly develop localised AI products and to power cross-border applications.
Spearheaded by MYEG, the AI Lab will also see the participation of leaders in their respective fields, including Deepseek, DJI, Leju Robot, Huawei Technologies, Alibaba Group and Heitech Padu Berhad.
Located at MYEG Headquarters in Petaling Jaya, the AI lab will focus on the convergence of Blockchain, Generative AI and robotics technologies with emphasis on cross-border applications and customisation of AI services according to local culture and values.
The Guangxi provincial government has allocated a sum of RMB10 billion through an investment fund to seed the development of such projects under the China-ASEAN programme.
“Working closely with our China and Malaysia partners, we are confident of increasing the overall productivities of Malaysia and ASEAN by leveraging the power of AI,” said Beitou IT Innovation Group Chairman Lai Shuiping.
” Blockchain, robotics and AI technologies are converging to provide the next wave of services and we are well positioned to offer state of the art next generation products. We look forward to expanding this partnership to other ASEAN countries,” said MYEG Group Managing Director TS Wong.
