VCI Global Secures US$100 Million in Funding Commitment to Fuel Further Growth in the AI and Renewable Energy Sector
21 Enero 2025 - 7:33AM
VCI Global Limited (NASDAQ: VCIG) (“VCI Global,” or the “Company”),
today announced it has secured an additional US$100 million
investment commitment from Alumni Capital LP (“Alumni Capital”).
This commitment builds on an earlier US$30 million equity line
agreement in 2024, reflecting confidence in VCI Global’s strategic
direction and growth potential. VCIG retains the right, but not the
obligation, to draw on this investment.
The US$100 million investment commitment will
enable the Company to strengthen its AI business and advance
renewable energy (RE) initiatives, with US$50 million specifically
allocated to enhancing AI operations in response to the growing
demand for AI-driven solutions. VCIG’s AI investment arm, VC AI
Limited, currently manages a diversified portfolio of innovative
companies. This includes V-Gallant, an AI system integrator; AICC;
Generative AI Sdn Bhd, focused on large language models (LLM) and
AI software solutions; and AiSecure Limited, a provider of advanced
cybersecurity solutions. Moreover, VC AI Limited recently announced
its investment in the AI-driven digital clone startup, Marvis,
which is also backed by Toshiba Tec Malaysia, Hitachi Global, and
NTT Data Group. These initiatives are expected to generate
additional revenue for VCIG in 2025 and 2026.
To generate US$200 million in revenue over the
next 20 years, VCI Global also plans to allocate up to US$50
million over the next five years to acquire RE projects across
Southeast Asia and Europe. This investment aligns with the
Company’s commitment to reducing carbon footprints and contributing
to the global fight against climate change.
“By leveraging the growing demand for AI
solutions, we are advancing our infrastructure and scaling
innovative offerings to drive exponential revenue growth. At the
same time, we are strategically building a sizeable war chest to
expand investments in renewable energy, reinforcing our commitment
to sustainability. These combined initiatives are expected to drive
an additional US$50 million in revenue for VCIG over the next three
years, building on the impressive 145% revenue growth achieved in
2023 and 44% growth in the first half of 2024. Through innovation
and strategic investments, we remain dedicated to delivering
lasting value to our shareholders,” said Dato’ Victor Hoo, Group
Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of VCI Global.
