Sunway University and Elitery, a leading Indonesian provider of managed cloud and security solutions, announced that they have signed a nonmonetary, nonbinding memorandum of understanding (MoU) to explore collaboration in artificial intelligence (AI) and digital learning. The MoU establishes a framework for good faith discussions and does not create legal or financial obligations.
Under the MoU, the parties intend to explore collaboration in four areas:
- Educational technology innovation: investigating intelligent learning systems that may support educators and enhance student outcomes.
- Research and innovation: identifying joint research projects on emerging education technologies and discussing opportunities for global publications and showcases.
- Capacity building: exploring potential training and upskilling initiatives for students, faculty and researchers to strengthen practical expertise in AI and digital tools.
- Knowledge exchange: considering cobranded seminars, conferences and workshops to share best practices and promote the adoption of AI-driven education in Malaysia and the wider region.
Professor Malissa Maria Mahmud, Dean of the School of Education at Sunway University, welcomed the collaboration. “At Sunway University, we see technology as a critical enabler for education. This MoU allows us to explore how AI can enrich teaching and learning while ensuring our educators and students acquire the skills needed for a digital economy. It gives us the flexibility to identify and co-create initiatives that genuinely benefit our learners and partners,” she said.
Kresna Adiprawira, President Director of Elitery, added, “Education has always been at the heart of Elitery’s innovation journey. Over the years we have partnered with schools, universities and government institutions to introduce digital solutions that make learning more accessible and impactful. Through this collaboration we hope to explore how AI can support future-ready talent and contribute to Malaysia’s digital economy.”
Elitery serves as the first strategic partner in advancing AI in Sunway University, Malaysia. The MoU is intended to guide discussions for an initial period of three years. Any specific projects or programmes arising from these discussions will be developed under separate agreements.
