CloudMile, a prominent AI solutions provider, in collaboration with Cradle Fund Sdn. Bhd. (Cradle) and supported by Google Cloud, has announced the selection of ten Malaysian startups for their inaugural AI Master Class Programme. This initiative, which runs from 19 September 2025 to 19 February 2026, aims to integrate AI technologies into the business models of these startups, enhancing their efficiency and customer experiences.
The programme is part of a strategic effort to empower Malaysia’s startup ecosystem and aligns with Cradle’s mission to nurture high-potential local ventures. Participants will engage in hands-on sessions to explore practical AI applications, develop blueprints for AI-driven solutions, and formulate actionable integration plans with the support of industry experts.
Lester Leong, CloudMile Malaysia’s country manager, expressed enthusiasm about the programme, stating, “By equipping these startups with practical skills and strategic insights into AI technologies, we are not only helping them build better businesses but also contributing to Malaysia’s digital economy.” Norman Matthieu Vanhaecke, Group CEO of Cradle, highlighted the programme’s importance in strengthening economic competitiveness and positioning Malaysian startups on the global stage.
The AI Master Class Programme underscores CloudMile’s commitment to fostering innovation beyond its core services, as evidenced by its sponsorship of the Cradle LIVE! Startup ASEAN Summit 2025. This initiative is expected to drive technological advancement and inclusive growth across the ASEAN region.
