Malaysian telecommunication firm CelcomDigi Berhad announced Monday the signing of a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Terengganu Incorporated Sdn. Bhd. (Terengganu Inc), marking a strategic collaboration to drive digitalization and artificial intelligence (AI) adoption across the group.
This initiative follows a series of strategic workshops conducted between both organizations to identify key opportunities and priorities in advancing Terengganu’s digital transformation, the duo said in a statement.

Following a comprehensive digital capability assessment across 13 of the organization’s subsidiaries, CelcomDigi will co-develop a targeted AI Strategic Framework to address and strengthen key areas in connectivity, cybersecurity, cloud infrastructure, internet of things (IoT), and data readiness.
The framework will serve as a strategic blueprint to modernize operations, boost efficiencies, and future-proof the group’s capabilities, aligning with Terengganu state’s vision for a resilient, tech-driven economy.
“This partnership reflects our belief that digital transformation must be strategic and inclusive，
“By co-developing an AI framework grounded in real operational needs, we are helping Terengganu Inc build the digital foundations for long-term value creation,” Chief Enterprise Business Officer of CelcomDigi, Ts. Afizulazha Abdullah said。
According to him, smarter infrastructure, stronger governance, and data-driven leadership will enable better services and greater opportunities for the people of Terengganu.
Meanwhile, President and Group Chief Executive Officer of Terengganu Inc, Burhanuddin Hilmi bin Mohamed @ Harun said as Terengganu advances towards a more resilient and progressive economy, digital transformation remains a key enabler of that journey.
“Our collaboration with CelcomDigi marks a significant step in aligning our business ecosystem with the state’s digital ambitions — where data, technology, and human insight converge to drive meaningful progress,
“Together, we are building the foundation for a smarter, more connected Terengganu that benefits all,” he added.
This partnership builds on CelcomDigi’s ongoing efforts with Terengganu Inc to identify opportunities that strengthen the state’s key industries and economic growth.
By digitalizing core sectors, both organizations aim to unlock new efficiencies, empower local enterprises, and enhance public services — driving sustainable, technology-enabled progress that supports Terengganu’s long-term resilience and competitiveness in line with Malaysia’s digital ambitions.
