Telekom Malaysia (TM), via its enterprise and government solutions arm TM One, and NCT Group of Companies (NCT Group), through its wholly owned subsidiary NCT AI Sdn Bhd, have signed a memorandum of collaboration (MoC) to extend smart industrial park solutions across Malaysia.

Building on their 2022 agreement for the NCT Smart Industrial Park (NSIP) in Selangor, this expanded partnership will see TM deliver not only advanced connectivity, but also smart solutions, cloud, and ICT services to modernize NCT’s operations and enhance customer experiences across its wider developments, including NCT Innosphere within the Delapan Special Border Economic Zone in Kedah and the Group’s corporate headquarters, the duo said in a statement on Thursday.

Together, NCT and TM will also co-develop go-to-market strategies to position NCT’s Smart Industrial Parks as future-ready investment hubs, attracting global and local industries, and replicating the model across Malaysia to drive economic growth, sustainability and digital adoption.

“This partnership reflects TM’s role not just as a connectivity provider, but as the enabler of smart industrial ecosystems,

“With our Vision AI, Intelligent Operations Centre, intelligent building management systems and other smart solutions, we are powering NCT’s Smart Industrial Parks into fully integrated, future-ready hubs for businesses and communities,

“This is how we deliver on our aspiration to be a Digital Powerhouse by 2030, creating platforms that drive Malaysia’s digitalization, sustainability and industrial growth,” he added.

Yap Ngan Choy, NCT Group’s Founder and Group Managing Director, said the firm’s first undertaking with TM established a clear direction to redefine Malaysia’s industrial park landscape, with the goal to create a national model for smart, sustainable and digitally driven industrial growth.

“As a result, NSIP today is well on its way to becoming a competitive regional hub for high-value industries, innovation-led enterprises and global investors aligned with the Malaysia Smart City Framework,

“With this new collaboration, we expect to advance the progress made to-date and strategically extend the success of that model. This reflects our commitment to supporting Malaysia’s digital transformation, while moving towards a low-carbon economy,” he added.
