Malaysia's AI Advantage : From Infrastructure to Innovation

Which models do you build on? When do you actually need dedicated GPU compute? And how should data residency, latency and cost per outcome shape those calls? Malaysia has committed RM2 billion to a sovereign AI cloud and set an AI Nation target for 2030. The capacity question is being answered. The harder one sits on your P&L. That’s the conversation we’re opening the room for. In partnership with Bitdeer AI, e27 is hosting a closed-door, invite-only roundtable for Malaysian founders, CTOs and senior business leaders who are done experimenting and ready to scale AI into real business outcomes. Expect a candid discussion, not a pitch. We’ll bring together builders, regulated enterprises and investors to unpack real deployment choices, trade-offs and lessons from putting AI into production—from choosing and accessing models to deciding how much infrastructure you actually need.____________________________________________________ This room is for you if: You have at least one AI feature live with real users, or a firm commitment to launch one within the next 18 months. You own or influence the budget for AI deployment or infrastructure You’re working through constraints such as cost, latency, data residency, infrastructure, or model access. What We'll Discuss Compare the paths from pilot to production — from model APIs and managed inference to cloud GPUs and dedicated infrastructure. Understand the real economics of production AI — including cost per outcome, latency, utilization and where teams tend to over- or under-provision Discuss Malaysia-specific considerations around data residency, sovereignty and regulated AI workloads. Learn from peers about the decisions, trade-offs and mistakes that actually changed their AI roadmap. Exchange perspectives with founders and senior leaders facing similar deployment decisions.
