He added that the partnership will help CelcomDigi improve its leadership, digital skills and ability to create new ideas. The deal also supports the company’s goal of building a workforce that is ready for future challenges.

At a major industry event in 2025, they also agreed to develop an AI-powered network that connects mobile and home internet services.
