Global technology corporation FPT and the Malaysian Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS (UTP) have recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to advance Malaysia’s technology education and digital transformation landscape, with a focus on AI research and education.

As part of the partnership, UTP has received a software donation valued at US$2 million from FPT and will gain access to FPT’s TADA (Total Augmented Data Analytics) solution, an AI-driven unified data management platform currently adopted by 20 energy companies.

Designed to efficiently collect, process, analyse and visualise large-scale data up to 100 times faster than traditional methods, TADA will enable students and faculties to enhance their skills, boosting productivity by 50 per cent with more actionable insights for real-world applications across sectors. Combined with FPT’s training and technical support, UTP staff and students will be well-equipped to maximise the platform’s potential for educational outcomes.

Leveraging FPT’s global network and industry expertise, this strategic collaboration will encompass other areas, including knowledge exchange, internships and collaborative research projects that align with Malaysian critical sectors such as healthcare, energy, autonomous systems and sustainability. It will also enable FPT to meet rising client demands and solidify its presence in East Malaysia and the Brunei region. — VNS
