NCT Group of Companies, via its subsidiary NCT Land Sdn Bhd, has partnered with the Selangor Information Technology and Digital Economy Corp (Sidec) to digitalise and support growth of the 732-acre NCT Smart Industrial Park (NSIP) in Sepang, Selangor.

The two parties signed the partnership agreement at the Selangor Smart City and Digital Economy (SDEC) 2024 on Wednesday. It was witnessed by Selangor executive councillor of investment, trade and mobility Ng Sze Han, Selangor Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari, and Deputy Digital Minister Datuk Wilson Ugak Anak Kumbong.

The partnership includes business matchmaking sessions, where NCT Group and Sidec will actively connect local and international companies to create new collaborations aimed at driving investments for the sustainable long-term growth of the NSIP.

Meanwhile, the digital transformation plans by Sidec will complement the NSIP’s ongoing efforts to strengthen operational efficiency and create an environment conducive to global expansion through the adoption of advanced technologies and systems.

“Making the NSIP future-ready will be beneficial for all stakeholders. Sidec’s multifaceted expertise in driving the digital economy and fostering smart city solutions makes them the ideal partner to take the NSIP to the next level. Together, we are establishing an industrial park that not only meets the infrastructure demands of businesses but also sets the standard as the country’s first tech-centric park with zero emissions by 2050,” said NCT Group founder and group managing director Datuk Seri Yap Ngan Choy in a media statement issued on Wednesday.

Meanwhile, Sidec chief executive officer Yong Kai Ping said: “The SDEC 2024 event is the perfect platform to formalise our partnership with NCT Group. As Selangor moves towards becoming a leader in digital economy and smart city solutions, this collaboration with NCT Group aligns perfectly with our vision for innovation and sustainability. The NSIP will set the standard for smart, sustainable industrial parks, and we are excited to contribute our expertise in digital transformation.”

The NSIP is taking root under the Integrated Development Region in South Selangor (Idriss) initiative. The industrial park features several infrastructures, artificial intelligence-managed facilities, smart surveillance and environmentally friendly initiatives, such as solar energy utilisation and rainwater collection systems.
