- HostPro2U unveils GreenFort Data Centers, Southeast Asia’s first carbon-neutral cloud infrastructure powered by 90% renewable energy.
- Strategic partnership with MDEC (Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation) to train 5,000 SMEs in AI-driven cloud solutions by Q1 2024.
E-global Innovative Sdn Bhd: HostPro2U accelerates Malaysia’s sustainable tech transformation
E-global Innovative Sdn Bhd, a leading Malaysian IT solutions provider, has launched GreenFort Data Centers, a groundbreaking initiative to address the soaring demand for sustainable cloud infrastructure in Southeast Asia. Located in Cyberjaya and Penang, these facilities leverage solar energy, hydropower, and liquid cooling systems to achieve 90% renewable energy usage, reducing carbon emissions by 12,000 metric tons annually—equivalent to planting 200,000 trees.
The centers support AI-driven cloud hosting, blockchain applications, and IoT platforms, with a guaranteed uptime of 99.999%. Already, 150 enterprises—including fintech startup NexaPay and logistics giant SwiftHaul—have migrated to GreenFort, citing a 30% reduction in operational costs.
Concurrently, HostPro2U announced a collaboration with MDEC under Malaysia’s Digital Investment Office to upskill SMEs in digital transformation. The program includes subsidized access to HostPro2U’s AI-Optimize Cloud Suite, which automates inventory management and customer analytics.
For instance, Kuala Lumpur-based textile exporter BatikHub reduced supply chain delays by 40% after adopting the platform. MDEC’s involvement ensures alignment with the national MyDIGITAL Initiative, which aims to position Malaysia as a regional tech hub by 2030.

E-global Innovative Sdn Bhd: A dual win for climate and competitiveness
HostPro2U’s GreenFort initiative tackles two urgent challenges: environmental sustainability and Malaysia’s digital readiness. Traditional data centers consume 3% of global electricity, but GreenFort’s renewable integration sets a benchmark for ASEAN, where energy demand is projected to grow 60% by 2040.
By slashing carbon footprints, the project supports Malaysia’s pledge to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050 under the Paris Agreement. Notably, multinational corporations like Siemens Malaysia are prioritizing GreenFort to meet ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) compliance, signaling a shift toward eco-conscious outsourcing.
The partnership with MDEC is equally transformative. Over 78% of Malaysian SMEs lack advanced digital tools, per a 2023 World Bank report. HostPro2U’s AI-Optimize Cloud Suite democratizes access to predictive analytics and machine learning, enabling smaller businesses to compete with regional players.
For example, Johor Bahru-based AgriGrow, a farming cooperative, used the platform to forecast crop yields with 95% accuracy, reducing waste by 25%. This aligns with MDEC’s goal to boost SME contributions to GDP from 38% to 50% by 2025. Furthermore, the training program addresses Malaysia’s tech talent gap, with AI and cloud skills now embedded in vocational curricula at 20 polytechnics.
Critically, these efforts strengthen Malaysia’s position in the ASEAN Digital Masterplan 2025, which prioritizes cross-border data flow and green tech. HostPro2U’s infrastructure is already integrated with Singapore’s GovTech and Indonesia’s BSSN (National Cyber and Crypto Agency), ensuring seamless compliance with regional data sovereignty laws. As cyber threats escalate—ASEAN saw a 200% rise in attacks in 2023—GreenFort’s quantum-resistant encryption offers a vital layer of security for sectors like healthcare and finance.
