The government’s emphasis on the development of infrastructure has attracted massive domestic and foreign investment, paving the way for long-term growth.
Construction expansion has coincided with advances in digital technology, such as big data and artificial intelligence (AI), which have substantially raised demand for data centres.
Global majors such as Microsoft, Amazon Web Services (AWS), and Google have chosen Malaysia for their data centre development, reinforcing the nation’s position as an appealing foreign investment destination. The country’s strategic position, solid infrastructure, and ideal government policies are pull points to consider.
Several Successful Big Data Centre Projects:
- NTT Data, which established the CBJ 1 data centre in Cyberjaya in the early 2000s, today facilitates six regional data centres.
- CSF Advisers, Basis Bay, AIMS Data Centre, and other companies have established strong presences in Malaysia.
- Hyperscale data centres, including KUL2 in Cyberjaya and the AI-ready Iskandar Puteri, are driving digital infrastructure investments.
Integrating digital technologies like artificial intelligence and smart grids will enhance infrastructure development efficiency and manufacturing.
These projects contribute to Malaysia’s determination to establish a premier digital economy in Southeast Asia. The collaborative partnership between construction technology and data centres would undoubtedly help position Malaysia as a leader in both fields.
