On 22 of May 2025, a new chapter began at Exabytes Group as we proudly launched the Exabytes Cloud Centre of Excellence (CCoE) — a collaborative initiative with our strategic partners Amazon Web Services (AWS) Malaysia and Forward College.
More than a launch, it was a celebration of purpose, partnership, and progress.
What Is the Cloud Centre of Excellence?
The CCoE is not just a physical space, it’s a dynamic ecosystem committed to accelerating digital transformation, nurturing local talent, and cultivating real-world innovation.
Built in the heart of Penang, this initiative underscores our belief that innovation thrives where communities, education, and cloud technology converge.
Our Mission: Empower Everyone to GROW
With CCoE, we’re targeting growth across three vital pillars:
🔷 GROW Digital: Drive business growth through cloud-first strategies that integrate People, Process, and Technology.
🔷 GROW Talents: Create accessible learning and job opportunities for B40 communities with Forward College and AWS SkillBuilder.
🔷 GROW Innovation: Foster a culture of problem-solving through innovation labs, idea accelerators, and community incubators.
