BARCELONA (Spain), March 6 (Bernama) -- Malaysia continues to solidify its digital transformation with the exchange of 19 memoranda of understanding (MoUs) between local players and global tech leaders on the sidelines of the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2025.
Witnessing the exchange ceremony, Deputy Communications Minister Teo Nie Ching said the MoUs reflect the industry players' commitment to pushing for innovation especially in the areas of technology, artificial intelligence (AI), 5G, and telecommunications.
"They showed their commitment to bringing digital changes to Malaysia. I hope these MoUs will bring more benefits to the citizens," she told Malaysian reporters.
Teo also expressed her confidence that the MWC would open up more doors for international players to recognise the potential that Malaysia has to offer.
Among the notable MoUs was a collaboration between CelcomDigi and Ericsson, which is aimed at driving transformation for the oil and gas industry powered by 5G technology. The telecommunication company has also partnered Huawei for the AI-powered fixed-mobile convergence network.
Digital Nasional Bhd (DNB) has also partnered with Ericsson to accelerate the adoption of 5G technologies to advance Malaysia's digital transformation initiatives, and collaborated with META for the DNB Experience Centre to enhance remote tower centre (RTC) quality of experience.
Meanwhile, YTL Communications and Equinix are joining hands for the global AI cloud enablement and sustainable AI infrastructure collaboration, while Maxis and Huawei have formed a collaboration to accelerate digital intelligent transformation.
MWC, the world's largest connectivity event, gathers industry leaders, innovators and policymakers to unveil groundbreaking advancements in mobile technology, connectivity, and digital transformation.
The 19th edition in Barcelona this year saw the Malaysia Pavilion showcasing the country’s technological advancements and its role in driving progress through 5G deployment, digital infrastructure, and collaborative innovation in the ASEAN region.
