Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella claims that the company will train and educate 200,000 people.

Microsoft plans to invest $2.2bn in AI and cloud infrastructure in Malaysia, aiming to drive the country's digital transformation. 

The announcement by Microsoft President Satya Nadella includes establishing an AI Center of Excellence and providing education and training for 200,000 individuals in Malaysia. 

Nadella expressed commitment to supporting Malaysia's AI transformation for inclusive economic growth. 

Malaysia's Minister of Investment, Trade, and Industry, Zafrul Abdul Aziz, emphasized the deep partnership between Malaysia and Microsoft, highlighting Malaysia's growing recognition as a tech investment destination. 

The investment in cloud and AI infrastructure is expected to enhance Malaysia's digital capabilities and global tech presence. 

This initiative aligns with Microsoft's efforts to promote AI development worldwide, with similar investments announced in Indonesia and Thailand.
