Strategic Platform Initiative Positions Company for Scalable Commercial Deployment Across AI-Driven Physical-to-Digital Ecosystem
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, Feb. 20, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- VCI Global Limited (NASDAQ: VCIG) (“VCI Global” or the “Company”) today announced the formation of ROBODAX, a strategic platform initiative established to unify the Company’s robotics automation roadmap and real-world asset (“RWA”) digital infrastructure strategy under a single execution architecture.
The formation of ROBODAX marks a structural step in VCI Global’s transition toward an AI-native infrastructure operating model. The initiative is designed to integrate robotics automation, AI orchestration frameworks, tokenisation architecture, and enterprise settlement capabilities into a coordinated platform strategy aimed at enabling future commercial deployment.
ROBODAX is intended to serve as an architectural execution layer linking physical automation outputs with digital asset infrastructure. Over time, the framework is expected to support monetisation models that connect robotics-generated real-world activity with tokenised commerce and exchange-based settlement mechanisms.
While ROBODAX does not represent a standalone revenue-generating product at this stage, management believes the initiative strengthens the Company’s long-term infrastructure positioning by aligning technology development with scalable commercial pathways. The platform structure is designed to enhance operational clarity, capital allocation discipline, and execution efficiency as VCI Global advances its AI-driven strategy.
The Company expects ROBODAX to support future monetisation opportunities across robotics-enabled services, enterprise tokenisation infrastructure, and AI-driven automation initiatives as deployments mature.
“ROBODAX represents a strategic evolution of our AI-Native infrastructure vision. By aligning robotics automation with real-world asset digital infrastructure at the architectural level, we are strengthening our execution framework and positioning the Company for scalable commercial deployment as our ecosystem develops,” said Dato’ Victor Hoo, Group Executive Chairman and CEO of VCI Global.
