Google has unveiled its plan for responsible digital infrastructure development in Malaysia, including an investment of US$15 billion over the next two years (2027 to 2028). Announced in the presence of YAB Dato’ Seri Anwar bin Ibrahim, Prime Minister of Malaysia, Google\u2019s integrated plan delivers energy-efficient data centre campuses in industrial zones and new collaborations to upskill approximately 800,000 Malaysians by 2031, bolster local water security and add more than 1 GW of clean energy capacity to Malaysia\u2019s National Grid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The latest investment builds on Google\u2019s more than 15-year presence in Malaysia \u2013 one of Southeast Asia\u2019s most dynamic digital economies, driven by 99% internet penetration and rapid AI adoption across government agencies, businesses and consumers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To support Malaysia\u2019s next phase of growth and meet rising local demand, Google\u2019s in-country infrastructure will provide the world-class computing capacity needed to run homegrown, next-generation digital and AI applications. It will also power Google services \u2013 such as Search, Maps and Chrome \u2013 used daily by millions of people and organisations across Malaysia and the Asia-Pacific region. This footprint includes Google\u2019s first data centre campus in Elmina Business Park, Selangor \u2013 which is now operational \u2013 and new, planned campuses in Selangor and Negeri Sembilan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The construction phase of Google\u2019s new campuses (2027 to 2028) is expected to contribute an annual average of US$1.1 billion to Malaysia\u2019s GDP and support more than 37,000 local jobs per year, generating US$378 million in average annual labour income. Approximately 6,000 of these jobs are estimated to be in construction.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
