LEADING Malaysian IT solutions provider Mesiniaga Berhad (Mesiniaga) and Tunku Abdul Rahman University of Management and Technology (TAR UMT) have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to collaborate on innovative projects and initiatives.

This partnership aims to leverage both entities’ strengths to address the critical need to develop more generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) talents.
