CloudMile, a leading AI solutions provider, has partnered with Cradle Fund Sdn. Bhd. (Cradle)—Malaysia’s focal agency for early-stage startups—alongside support from Google Cloud, to launch an exclusive AI Master Class Program for ten promising Malaysian startups.
Following a successful launch event and a highly competitive application process, the selected startups are set to embark on a focused journey to integrate artificial intelligence into their business models. The initiative reflects a shared commitment by CloudMile and Cradle to strengthen Malaysia’s startup ecosystem and accelerate innovation through practical AI adoption.
Representing diverse industries, the participating startups demonstrated strong potential to leverage AI for improved efficiency, enhanced customer experiences, and long-term growth. Throughout the program, founders will take part in hands-on learning sessions that explore real-world AI applications, guide the development of AI implementation blueprints, and help formulate actionable integration plans with support from industry experts.
“We are incredibly excited about the launch of the AI Master Class Program,” said Lester Leong, Country Manager of CloudMile Malaysia. “By equipping startups with practical skills and strategic insights into AI, we’re helping them build stronger businesses while contributing to Malaysia’s digital economy.”
Norman Matthieu Vanhaecke, Group CEO of Cradle, emphasized the program’s national impact, noting that access to world-class mentorship and resources is crucial for positioning Malaysian startups on the global stage. “This initiative equips our startups with the capabilities to scale, thrive, and drive meaningful economic transformation,” he said.
Running from September 19, 2025 to February 19, 2026, the AI Master Class Program reinforces CloudMile’s role as a dedicated AI technology partner. Beyond the program, CloudMile continues its regional support as a key sponsor of Cradle LIVE! Startup ASEAN Summit 2025, advancing inclusive growth and technological progress across ASEAN.
