By co-developing an AI framework grounded in real operational needs, we are helping Terengganu Inc build the digital foundations for long-term value creation. Smarter infrastructure, stronger governance, and data-driven leadership will enable better services and greater opportunities for the people of Terengganu. We are proud to support the state’s next step toward a digital future.”
President and Group Chief Executive Officer of Terengganu Inc, Dato’ Burhanuddin Hilmi bin Mohamed @ Harun said, “As Terengganu advances towards a more resilient and progressive economy, digital transformation remains a key enabler of that journey. Our collaboration with CelcomDigi marks a significant step in aligning our business ecosystem with the state’s digital ambitions — where data, technology, and human insight converge to drive meaningful progress. Together, we are building the foundation for a smarter, more connected Terengganu that benefits all.”
This partnership builds on CelcomDigi’s ongoing efforts with Terengganu Inc to identify opportunities that strengthen the state’s key industries and economic growth.
