Invest Selangor extends its congratulations to Google on its landmark RM61 billion (USD15 billion) investment commitment in Malaysia and was pleased to attend Google Mantap Malaysia Bersama AI on 4 November 2026, officiated by YAB Dato’ Seri Anwar Ibrahim, Prime Minister of Malaysia, alongside senior government leaders and Google’s leadership, including Ms Ruth Porat, President and Chief Investment Officer of Alphabet and Google.

The announcement reflects Google’s continued confidence in Malaysia and its commitment to strengthening the country’s digital infrastructure, accelerating AI adoption and developing a future-ready workforce.

In his keynote address, YAB Dato’ Seri Anwar Ibrahim, Prime Minister of Malaysia, emphasised that high-impact investments must go beyond capital inflows to strengthen local industries, develop human capital and ensure responsible stewardship of energy and natural resources, in line with the Ekonomi MADANI framework and New Industrial Master Plan 2030.

A significant milestone for Selangor is Google’s first data centre campus at Elmina Business Park by Sime Darby Property, which is now fully operational, with further expansion planned in Selangor and Negeri Sembilan. Together with Google’s upcoming Google Cloud region, these developments further strengthen Selangor’s position as a strategic destination for data centre, cloud computing and AI-related investments.

Beyond infrastructure, Google’s investment is expected to support more than 37,000 jobs annually during the construction phase and over 9,000 long-term jobs once operational. It also creates opportunities for local businesses to participate in the growing digital infrastructure supply chain.

Google’s commitment to sustainability and talent development is equally significant, with plans to add more than 1GW of clean energy capacity to Malaysia’s grid and upskill approximately 800,000 Malaysians by 2031 through AI literacy, digital adoption and specialised technical training programmes.

For Selangor, these developments present opportunities to strengthen the state’s digital ecosystem, expand local industry participation and nurture a future-ready workforce.

As Selangor continues to attract high-value investments in the digital and technology sectors, Invest Selangor plays a key role in facilitating strategic investments, fostering industry collaboration and creating pathways for local businesses to participate in emerging opportunities. These efforts further strengthen Selangor’s competitiveness as a leading destination for digital infrastructure, cloud computing and AI-driven growth.

Through continued collaboration with government agencies, industry players and educational institutions, Selangor aims to strengthen its aerospace ecosystem, attract more quality investments, and create more opportunities for local talents in this high-value industry.
