KUANTAN: The Asia Centre of Excellence for Smart Technologies (Aces) will be established at the Cybercentre in Pahang Technology Park in a move to take the East Coast Economic Region (ECER) into the forefront of the Fourth Industrial Revolution or Industry 4.0.

East Coast Economic Region Development Council (ECERDC) chief executive officer Datuk Seri Jebasingam Issace John said Aces was aimed at accelerating the adoption of Industry 4.0 in ECER, which is part of the overall strategy to facilitate the region’s transition into a productivity-driven and technology-intensive economy as outlined in the ECER Master Plan 2.0, which will be unveiled soon.
