NQ1\u2019s heavy integration of liquid cooling technology is a mechanical necessity to handle intense AI workloads without over-taxing local water and energy grids.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The Foxconn Ennoconn Anchor:<\/strong> The explicit involvement of the Foxconn Ennoconn team, led by Mr Aven Lou, suggests that the digital park is designed to look beyond basic co-location. The site will function as a smart, industrially integrated hub targeting smart manufacturing, edge computing, and industrial internet systems.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The Local Multiplier:<\/strong> In line with state goals emphasized by Datuk Redza Rafiq Abdul Razak of PKNPk, the developers have structured on-campus training pipelines with local TVET institutions and universities to insulate the state from the talent &#8220;brain drain&#8221; frequently seen in the northern corridor.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Editor\u2019s Take: The ROI of &#8220;Power Readiness&#8221; and Tech Sovereignty<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For the <em>Malaysian Business<\/em> reader, the NexQuantum announcement is a textbook example of shifting from a physical land play to high-value <strong>Policy Architecture<\/strong>. Just days ago, we analyzed <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/malaysian-business.com\/portal\/2026\/05\/06\/thailands-usd-29-billion-tech-offensive-tiktok-leads-surge-as-data-centre-rivalry-heats-up\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"7502\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Thailand&#8217;s massive USD 29 billion tech offensive<\/a><\/strong>, driven by big tech investments and aggressive direct power procurement. For Malaysia to remain competitive, our individual states must step up with localized, infrastructure-ready platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Perak is playing this beautifully. By focusing on a &#8220;fully AI-ready&#8221; specification with liquid cooling from day one, NexQuantum is avoiding the retrofitting costs that legacy data centres are currently paying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, anchoring the project within the Foxconn Ennoconn supply chain elevates this from a mere property development into a <strong>Sovereign Tech Asset<\/strong>. As the <strong>National AI Office (NAIO)<\/strong> designs our national cloud parameters for later this year, developments like the NexQuantum AI Digital Park ensure that Malaysia\u2019s computing power isn&#8217;t just concentrated in Johor or the Klang Valley. It decentralizes our digital risk, turns a traditional transit state into a &#8220;value-capture destination,&#8221; and delivers real economic multipliers directly to the people of Perak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Positioning the state of Perak as an aggressive new contender in the pan-Asian digital infrastructure race, Cahya Suria Services Sdn Bhd and China-based Suzhou EnnoTHING Technology Co., Ltd. have formalised a joint venture via NexQuantum 1 Sdn Bhd.
