PRO-NET has announced a landmark collaboration with Alibaba Cloud, marking a major step forward in Malaysia’s national digital transformation and its ambitions in sustainable mobility. Revealed during the Alibaba Cloud AI Day on 3rd December at Parkroyal Collection Kuala Lumpur, the partnership reinforces both organisations’ shared commitment to building a cloud-powered, AI-driven future for the country.
The event was witnessed by YB Datuk Wilson Ugak Anak Kumbong, Deputy Minister of Digital, who emphasised the significance of partnerships that unite industry expertise and digital technologies. He highlighted that collaborations such as this reflect Malaysia’s collective push toward strengthening digital infrastructure and accelerating innovation across key sectors, including mobility. “Malaysia’s digital future relies on strong cooperation between industry, technology, and cloud innovation,” he said, stressing that cloud and AI advancements are essential to positioning Malaysia competitively within the global digital economy.
From Alibaba Cloud’s perspective, the collaboration is a vital enabler in helping Malaysia realise its goal of becoming an AI Nation by 2030. Dr. Feifei Li, Senior Vice President of Alibaba Cloud Intelligence Group, affirmed the company’s commitment to supporting Malaysia’s digital progress. She noted that PRO-NET’s transition into AI-driven solutions aligns perfectly with the nation’s broader innovation roadmap, adding that robust national partnerships are key to building the technological infrastructure that will elevate Malaysia at both regional and international levels.
Alibaba Cloud has been working closely with PRO-NET since its inception, providing the cloud-first foundations essential for a data-driven approach. This integrated end-to-end data pipeline has played a crucial role in PRO-NET’s efforts to develop Malaysia’s new energy ecosystem, laying the groundwork for intelligent and sustainable mobility solutions.
PRO-NET Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Zhang Qiang, acknowledged Alibaba Cloud’s pivotal role in supporting the company’s technological evolution. “Their support in building our cloud-first and data-driven foundation has been instrumental as we advance Malaysia’s new energy mobility ecosystem,” he said. Entering a new phase powered by AI, the partnership will unlock deeper insights, enrich customer experiences, and accelerate PRO-NET’s mission of enabling a smarter and more connected mobility landscape.
The upgraded collaboration will see PRO-NET leverage Alibaba Cloud’s Model Studio to develop its internal chatbot, with plans to expand these capabilities into customer-facing platforms and even future vehicle infotainment systems. These advancements will contribute to improved predictive analytics, real-time data intelligence, and enhanced user experiences—key components in Malaysia’s evolving EV sector.
Beyond chatbots, the partnership will explore broader AI applications, including Alibaba Cloud’s Qwen large language model and its Platform for AI (PAI). These tools will empower PRO-NET with cutting-edge technology for operational efficiency, innovative mobility solutions, and scalable digital services.
Together, PRO-NET and Alibaba Cloud are not simply enhancing one company’s digital capabilities—they are supporting Malaysia’s wider ambition of becoming a regional leader in AI, EV innovation, and sustainable mobility. The collaboration signals a confident stride into a future where cloud intelligence and smart mobility converge to elevate the nation’s digital transformation journey.
