He pointed to the Post-COVID Development Strategy 2030 as a clear indicator of the government\u2019s commitment to both clean energy and digital transformation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThrough the Post-COVID Development Strategy 2030, he said we aim to become a regional leader in smart infrastructure and green innovation,\u201d he said. \u201cWe are building a future that is not only sustainable \u2014 but intelligent, connected, and inclusive.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lo emphasised that progress cannot happen in isolation.

Innovation is not just a tool \u2014 it is the mindset that will shape our future,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The event, held in Kuching, brought together thought leaders to discuss how artificial intelligence can support green development, environmental stewardship, and efficient resource use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lo concluded his remarks by encouraging attendees to collaborate, share knowledge, and form meaningful partnerships that would extend beyond the forum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.suppnewsportal.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/1000349454.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/www.suppnewsportal.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/1000349454-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-33131\" style=\"aspect-ratio:0.75;width:620px;height:auto\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.suppnewsportal.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/1000349454-768x1024.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.suppnewsportal.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/1000349454-225x300.jpg 225w, http:\/\/www.suppnewsportal.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/1000349454-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, http:\/\/www.suppnewsportal.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/1000349454-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, http:\/\/www.suppnewsportal.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/1000349454.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.suppnewsportal.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/1000349460.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/www.suppnewsportal.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/1000349460-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-33130\" style=\"aspect-ratio:0.75;width:620px;height:auto\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.suppnewsportal.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/1000349460-768x1024.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.suppnewsportal.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/1000349460-225x300.jpg 225w, http:\/\/www.suppnewsportal.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/1000349460-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, http:\/\/www.suppnewsportal.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/1000349460-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, http:\/\/www.suppnewsportal.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/1000349460.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sarawak is ready to lead in the convergence of artificial intelligence and sustainability, said Batu Kitang State Assemblyman Dato Ir.
