KUCHING: Sarawak’s vision is to build a resilient, inclusive and innovation-led economy, supported by clean energy, advanced digital infrastructure, and high-skilled talent, says Deputy Premier Datuk Amar Awang Tengah Ali Hasan.
Speaking at NEC Super Tower, Tokyo, Japan on Tuesday, Awang Tengah outlined the state’s strategic plans to accelerate its Post COVID-19 Development Strategy 2030 (PCDS 2030) and Sarawak Digital Economy Blueprint 2030 (SDE 2030).
He invited cooperation with NEC Corporation to drive digital transformation and sustainable growth, particularly in digital government, aviation, and cybersecurity while highlighting Sarawak’s commitment towards becoming an economy which is based on renewable resources, environmentally sustainable and technology-driven.
“Our vision is to build a resilient, inclusive, and innovation-led economy, supported by clean energy, advanced digital infrastructure, and high-skilled talent.
“Partnerships with global technology leaders such as NEC can facilitate us in achieving these goals, bringing benefits to both investors and the local community through job creation, technology transfer, and economic spin-offs,” he said.
He also emphasised that public-private partnerships and targeted investments in areas such as AI, cybersecurity, integrated circuit design, and digital services are key to delivering on Sarawak’s development strategies.
“Our journey towards a developed and sustainable Sarawak by 2030 is a shared opportunity.
“With NEC’s expertise and our vision, we can create lasting value for investors, communities, and the environment,” he said.
