Data Centre Nexus (DCN) 2026

Building Malaysia’s Digital Future.

Our researcher, Rachel Gong, moderated Session 5: Fireside Chat - “Expanding Access to Cloud & Digital Technologies” at Data Centre Nexus (DCN) 2026, held on 14 September 2026 at Hilton Kuala Lumpur. The event was Malaysian Investment Development Authority’s (MIDA) flagship platform for advancing Malaysia’s digital infrastructure and sustainable digital ecosystem.

The session explored how leading technology companies can empower businesses, mid-tier companies, SMEs and startups to leverage cloud computing, artificial intelligence and digital solutions to drive productivity, scalability and innovation.

As Malaysia’s data centre industry grows, a broader question is how these opportunities can reach MSMEs, which make up 96% of Malaysian enterprises. This connects to KRI’s research on MSME digitalisation and how smaller businesses can strengthen their digital capabilities.
