Introduction

With the conviction that if we are able to create a community-in-practice, that can offer local companies Industry 4.0 solutions (which can be customised to fit their needs and budget), we could assist the Government in driving the local industry towards adoption of i4.0 technologies.

With this foresight, we started our soft launch on the Centre of 9 Pillars (Co9P) in November 2018 and reserved our assets, with a vision for a brand, and conviction that there was a pool of local i4.0 talents and experts that was being underserved and a demand for researchers, graduates, solution seekers and providers, and digital nomads all around the world who needed a place to call the Centre of 9 Pillars.
