Grab, Japan’s SoftBank Group and Petroleum Sarawak Bhd (Petros) have signed a framework agreement to explore developing an artificial intelligence (AI) and digital infrastructure platform in Sarawak. The three companies will work together to establish a roadmap for the platform’s phased development, although they have yet to disclose an investment value or implementation timeline.
According to a joint statement, the collaboration will explore opportunities across the AI value chain, including AI-based computing and services, advanced technologies, robotics, and local workforce and community development. The partnership also aims to support Sarawak’s ambition to build a high-value, technology-driven economy while expanding Malaysia’s digital infrastructure and connectivity.
