VCI Global, together with its applied AI arm V Gallant, reaffirmed its commitment to advancing AI-driven cities at SmartCity Expo Kuala Lumpur 2025, aligning closely with Malaysia’s national ambition to become an AI Nation by 2030. The event brought together national leaders, city mayors, and technology partners to accelerate the adoption of artificial intelligence across urban planning, mobility, housing, and public services.
