VCI Global Limited (NASDAQ: VCIG) (Frankfurt: H0T) (“VCI Global” or
the “Company”) today announced a new investment commitment of US$30
million from Alumni Capital LP (“Alumni Capital”). Following an
earlier investment of US$5 million from Alumni Capital, this
additional US$30 million, in exchange for VCI Global common shares,
will reinforce VCI Global’s strategic push into its AI cloud
computing business, particularly for its planned developments in
the second quarter of 2025. VCI Global retains the right, but is
not obligated, to draw on this amount, providing the Company with
the flexibility to access the funds as needed, while preserving the
option to forgo the drawdown if other resources become available or
conditions change.
With an approved capital infusion of US$30
million, VC AI Limited (“VC.AI”), a new subsidiary of VCI Global,
will be launching the AI Computing Center (AICC) in Malaysia. This
computing center, equipped with 512 NVIDIA H200 Tensor Core GPUs,
is estimated to rank among the top 30 globally, enabling the
efficient processing of vast amounts of data at high
speeds—essential for generative AI and high-performance computing
applications.
“We are confident that this US$30 million
investment from Alumni Capital will significantly empower our
strategic growth in AI cloud computing. It enables us to establish
a world-class AICC in Malaysia, serving clients globally,
especially in Southeast Asia. We are fully committed to leveraging
these resources to foster innovation and advance the AI landscape,”
said Dato’ Victor Hoo, Group Executive Chairman and Chief Executive
