SKO | AI for Productivity Transformation Program as a Catalyst for Industrial Competitiveness in Sarawak (Batch 4)
The AI for Productivity Transformation Program Batch 4 (2–3 September 2025) convened at the Technology Centre, Entera Technology Academy Sdn Bhd, successfully engaging 15 participating industries across Sarawak. The representation spanned a wide range of sectors including education and training, retail and wholesale, information and communications technology (ICT), building and infrastructure construction, environmental service providers, security guard and management services.
The program, led by Dr. Mohd Nazim bin Jambli, was designed to advance effective business practices and cultivate a culture of integrated productivity. It further aimed to accelerate industrial transformation through the adoption of AI and digital technologies, thereby enhancing business competitiveness, while equipping the workforce with essential skills to leverage technology effectively—driving innovation and strengthening operational efficiency.
Through hands-on exposure to AI tools tailored to support the implementation of Proof of Concept (POC) projects, participants were able to explore practical applications, test solutions within their operational environments, and validate outcomes. These initiatives are expected to streamline processes, elevate productivity, and reinforce decision-making capabilities. Looking ahead, the AI for Productivity Transformation Program will continue for 3 more batches in September - October 2025, sustaining momentum to prepare more industries with the knowledge, skills, and technological readiness necessary to thrive in an increasingly competitive, digital-driven economy.
