In collaboration with the University Grants Commission (UGC), Dialog Axiata recently established ‘5G Innovation Centres’ at the Engineering Faculties of leading universities to create and incubate interest-driven learning, innovation and entrepreneurship for future leaders.
These Innovation Centres aim to empower students to be interdisciplinary, computational, and entrepreneurial by giving students first-hand experience with 5G connectivity and many of its cutting-edge use cases. This includes artificial intelligence, machine learning, computer vision, blockchain, robotics, the internet of things (IoT) and related emerging technologies that will fuel national innovation and economic diversification.
At the cusp of the 4th Industrial Revolution, where 5G technology is perceived to be a key enabler in the connected world, the establishment of these 5G Innovation Centres will play a pivotal role in fostering the development of creative and digital industries in the country, said the operator.
