VCI Global Advances AI-Native Transition, VCCG Spin-Off

KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 12 (Bernama) -- VCI Global Limited (VCI Global), an emerging artificial intelligence (AI)-native operating platform, has provided a strategic update on its evolving business model and reaffirmed its commitment to maintaining compliance with Nasdaq listing requirements.

VCI Global Group Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Datuk Victor Hoo said the company remains fully committed to its Nasdaq listing, noting that strategic initiatives such as the VCCG spin-off and the broader AI-focused transition are designed to strengthen its operating platform over the long term.

VCI Global continues to advance its strategy to unlock value from its subsidiaries through potential independent listings.

The company’s consulting arm, V Capital Consulting Group Limited (VCCG), filed a Form F-1 registration statement with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on Jan 28, in connection with a proposed Nasdaq Capital Market listing.

The initiative is part of VCI Global’s modular operating approach, under which selected business units may be scaled and positioned for potential independence to enhance strategic focus, capital allocation efficiency, and long-term shareholder value.

Following the planned carve-out of VCCG, VCI Global is accelerating its transition toward an AI-native operating model. AI is being embedded as a core layer across the company’s business ecosystem, with a centralised automation roadmap spanning robotics, clean energy, automotive, mobility solutions, and select consumer-facing businesses.

Management expects this integration to enhance operational efficiency, support scalable growth, and enable more data-driven decision-making, while retaining flexibility to adapt to market and technological developments.

VCI Global continues to actively monitor its compliance with Nasdaq listing requirements, including the minimum bid price requirement.
