Malaysia’s Ministry of Digital and MyDIGITAL Corporation have announced plans to co-host the AI Malaysia Takeover 2026, known as AIMTO_26. This two-day event is scheduled to take place in Kuala Lumpur on August 11 and 12, marking a significant effort to accelerate the nation’s technological landscape.
According to the original publisher, the initiative aims to serve as a catalyst for Malaysia's AI readiness and broader digital adoption. The event will focus on upskilling initiatives and the official launch of the Rakyat Digital portal, which is intended to support the digital needs of the population.
By gathering stakeholders in the capital, the event seeks to streamline the integration of artificial intelligence within the country’s infrastructure. The focus remains on providing the necessary resources for citizens and industries to navigate an increasingly digitised economy.
