AI to Z: Turbocharging Malaysia’s Tech Startups

We explore the world of AI and its transformative potential for tech startups in Malaysia with Sharma Lachu, the Founder & CEO at Accendo Technologies and Pang Sern Yong, the Founder at AIHQ. As Google for Startups recently launched a new programme in partnership with the AI Academy, aimed at accelerating the growth of AI startups across the Asia-Pacific region, we explore what this means for local innovators. We discuss how AI academies can play a crucial role in nurturing Malaysia's startup ecosystem, the support structures that are essential for success, and the future impact of AI on the nation's tech landscape.
