KUALA LUMPUR: Serba Dinamik Holdings Bhd expects to launch its first collaboration with Sarawak-based startup hub, Startup Borneo, in February next year.
Its group managing director and CEO Datuk Dr Mohd Abdul Karim Abdullah said the cooperation is aimed at changing the mindset among the young entrepreneurs to venture into business activities, besides contributing to nation-building.
“This will help them to commercialise their business ideas and expand further like Silicon Valley-proven startups, such as Dell, Google and Facebook,” he said in an interview.
He said Startup Borneo has 33 entities comprising incubators, accelerators and startups, and the programme would be spearheaded by Serba Dinamik IT Solutions Sdn Bhd, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Serba Dinamik.
After Sarawak, the programme will also be launched in Johor, and in other states on request, he added.
Mohd Abdul Karim said Serba Dinamik as the anchor under the collaboration would provide training, initial funding and other requirements needed to nurture the companies to the next level.
“This is a win-win collaboration for Serba Dinamik to help other companies while also expanding its network with the local authorities and international companies within the loop.
“The incubators, accelerators or startups will benefit through coaching programmes and financial setups to give them exposure to the global network,” he explained.
The collaboration, he added, would also benefit government agencies as it would serve as a helping hand in spawning homegrown technology companies while international collaborators are poised to expand their networking in the Malaysian market.
In another development, Mohd Abdul Karim said the company has also embarked on hologram technology and aims to be the frontier technology provider.
He explained that hologram technology creates a similar identical item in a different location at the same time, which helps to boost efficiency and increase productivity.
“For example, a specialist can train and educate his students in different parts of the world at the same time.
“Politicians or leaders also can be at different locations at the same time to meet their supporters, which is more effective. Consequently, it would increase productivity because this technology is not interrupted by emotion,” he said.
According to him, the hologram technology is also integrated with the other Industrial Revolution 4.0 technologies such as artificial intelligence to process the data and cloud computing technology to manage the data.
Serba Dinamik is an international energy services group providing engineering solutions to the oil and gas and power generation industries with operational facilities in Malaysia, Indonesia, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, and the UK. – Dec 30, 2019, Bernama
