The diverse expertise of its members will also provide valuable insights to strengthen leadership decision-making, ensuring well-rounded governance and reducing reliance on a single leadership figure. Additionally, as part of this strategic leadership refinement, the function of the Group Chief Financial Officer (“GCFO”) will be expanded to enhance financial governance, optimise capital management and improve funding strategies, providing greater financial flexibility to support the Group’s evolving needs. SPEED is a core philosophy I am introducing at DNeX to drive efficiency, agility and precision across the Group. At its foundation, S – Shareholders and D – Dividends represent our priority and desired outcome, while P – Processes, E – Efficiency and E – Excellence define how we achieve it through our teams and employees. By optimising operations and fostering a results-driven culture, we are committed to delivering sustained value with agility and discipline. This philosophy is especially relevant to our businesses, where speed is a critical success factor, whether in achieving faster chip performance in semiconductor manufacturing or enhancing operational agility in oil and gas production. Embedding SPEED into our execution will sharpen our focus and drive impactful business outcomes. To further enhance governance and operational efficiency, we are leveraging AI-driven tools and big data analytics to automate key processes, improve decision-making and optimise cost structures. The establishment of the AI Centre of Excellence, complementing our existing Big Data Centre of Excellence, to accelerate our adoption of AI technologies, will enable workforce upskilling and the integration of AI-powered solutions across our business divisions. Upskilling our people in emerging technologies is our priority especially with our partnership with leading technology partners in such areas as cloud platform, AI frameworks, machine learning, deep learning, and data analysis. At the heart of our transformation includes also the development and delivery of AI-powered tools and platforms, leveraging on cloud services to provide cutting-edge solutions tailored to both government agencies and new enterprise customers, thus positioning DNeX as a thought leader in AI-driven transformation. By embedding large language models (“LLMs”) and other AI technologies into our technology stacks, DNeX is enhancing its existing products and services while creating flexible, scalable, and innovative solutions for new markets locally and internationally. Strategic Priorities for Our Business Segments As part of our growth strategy, we are forging bilateral engagements with key international markets, including China, France and New Zealand, to unlock new trade and technology opportunities. These partnerships will create avenues for digital transformation, trade facilitation and cross-border collaborations, strengthening our position in high-growth sectors. Additionally, with Malaysia assuming the ASEAN Chairmanship in 2025, we aim to capitalise on regional growth by positioning DNeX as a strategic partner in advancing digital and industrial initiatives across Southeast Asia. At the same time, we are driving targeted growth within our core business divisions - Technology, Energy and IT - by leveraging these strategic partnerships and strengthening our industry foothold.
