PETALING JAYA: Google will invest US$15bil in Malaysia over the next two years, Alphabet and Google president and chief investment officer Ruth Porat has announced.

She said the latest investment builds on Google’s more than 15-year presence in Malaysia and expands on the company's digital infrastructure investment announced in 2024.

“We are very excited about expanding our digital infrastructure here responsibly, investing in resource stewardship and clean energy initiatives, as well as new skilling programmes to open pathways to economic opportunity for Malaysians across the country.

“Google's announcement reflects our confidence in the strength of Malaysia's leadership, its skilled workforce, and enthusiasm for digital transformation,” she said in her address at the Mantap Malaysia Bersama AI programme at Universiti Malaya here on Wednesday (Nov 4).
