KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, April 14, 2026  /PRNewswire/ — Exito Media Concepts today announced the 46th Edition of the Digital Transformation Summit Malaysia 2026, convening on 23rd April 2026 at the Hyatt Regency Kuala Lumpur Midtown. The summit will bring together more than 200 C-Level executives, technology directors, and government leaders to address the strategic and operational imperatives shaping Malaysia’s next phase of digital growth.

Now in its 46th edition and part of a series spanning 11+ countries, the summit has established itself as one of Asia Pacific’s most consequential forums for enterprise technology leadership.

The Strategic Context: Malaysia’s Digital Economy at a Critical Juncture

Malaysia’s digital economy is undergoing a structural shift. Driven by targeted government-led initiatives and accelerating enterprise adoption of artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, and Web 3.0, organizations across every sector are fundamentally reimagining how they operate, compete, and deliver value.

The opportunity is significant. Yet the path to enterprise-wide transformation demands more than technology investment — it requires navigating complex cybersecurity environments, integrating legacy infrastructure with modern digital architecture, developing organizational capabilities at pace, and embedding a culture of innovation that sustains long-term resilience. For Malaysia’s business leadership, strategic clarity has never been more consequential.

The Digital Transformation Summit Malaysia 2026 is designed precisely for this inflection point.

Enterprise Transformation in Practice

The business case for bold digital action is already being written across Malaysia. A leading domestic enterprise recently undertook a comprehensive digital transformation initiative — transitioning to a cloud-first infrastructure supported by advanced data analytics and AI capabilities.

The results were measurable and material: automating key operational processes delivered significant gains in efficiency and organizational agility. The concurrent deployment of robust cybersecurity frameworks ensured data integrity and regulatory compliance. Simultaneously, structured workforce upskilling programmes enabled teams to perform with confidence in an evolving technology environment.

The outcome: improved business performance, deeper customer engagement, and a materially stronger competitive position within Malaysia’s digital economy. It is precisely this calibre of real-world insight that the Summit is built to surface and scale.

Volvo launches new electric trucks – with ranges up to 700 km

Volvo Trucks keeps pushing the boundaries for electric truck transport. With the launch of its new electric trucks with improved performance, flexibility and ranges up to 700 km, this is a new benchmark for electric heavy-duty trucks.

Volvo Trucks launches new electric trucks with improved performance and ranges of up to 700 km – a new benchmark for electric heavy-duty trucks.

GOTHENBURG, Sweden , April 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Volvo Trucks is a global leader in the electric segment with one of the largest electric truck line-ups in the industry. The company can now announce some major electric news:

Firstly, a new long-distance electric truck, the FH Aero Electric with extended range, capable of driving up to 700 km on one charge* – a breakthrough for heavy electric trucks and driving the really long distances.

Secondly, the next-generation heavy-duty Volvo FH, FM and FMX Electric trucks, with major improvements in flexibility, productivity, driving comfort and with ranges up to 470 km*, making it possible to switch to electric truck operation for even more transport assignments.

“We’re really sharpening our offering here. We are broadening it and making electric solutions possible for an even wider range of transport assignments, and also adding a cutting-edge electric truck with a range of up to 700 km. This means we can fully match the business needs of our customers. It has never been easier to replace diesel trucks with electric ones,” says Roger Alm, President Volvo Trucks.

“We stand firm in our belief that electric vehicles will deliver a large part of the world’s truck transport in the future. With the amazing performance of all our new trucks, it’s easy to see why.”

Long-distance truck – up to 700 km range, megawatt charging, and high payload

The new long-distance truck, the Volvo FH Aero Electric with extended range, can drive up to 700 km on one charge thanks to a new driveline technology, the e-axle, which creates space for significantly more battery capacity onboard. The truck is adapted to the new MCS (Megawatt Charging System) standard and charging the 8 batteries from 20% to 80% will take approximately 50 minutes. This means charging can be done within the legislated rest period for truck drivers in the EU, thereby contributing to high productivity.

“This long-haul electric truck is the best in the industry. It offers an outstanding range in combination with high payload, fast charging and great riding comfort. With this truck, our customers can drive the really long distances and throughout an entire working day with the same productivity as diesel trucks,” says Roger Alm.

New FH, FM, FMX trucks – up to 470 km range, all-new versatile driveline, and superior drivability

The new FH, FM and FMX Electric trucks have an all-new driveline designed for maximum flexibility across different applications. It offers excellent drivability and is engineered so that the driver can drive the truck and power auxiliary equipment such as a concrete mixer, hook lift or refuse unit without extra motors or add-ons. This is due to an integrated gearbox power take-off (PTO) with increased functionality enabling usage during driving. The trucks will have a range of up to 470 km and can be charged from 20% to 80% in approximately 65 minutes.

“The next-generation FH, FM and FMX Electric are packed with new, smart functions, they offer great driver comfort and make zero tailpipe emissions transport available for very wide range of transport assignments,” says Roger Alm.

Seamless gear shifting with all trucks
All new trucks – the new Volvo FH, FM and FMX Electric, and the FH Aero Electric with extended range – are equipped with a gearbox optimized for electric transmission paired with dual motors to deliver smoother and more controlled performance. The new powershift gearboxes, eight-speed on the new Volvo FH, FM and FMX Electric and six-speed on the FH Aero Electric with extended range, offer seamless gear shifting and also produce less noise and vibration for a more comfortable workday.

The new trucks will be rolled out step by step to markets starting in 2026.

LG Innotek Expands “I Dream Up” Program to Vietnam

  • Signed MOU with World Vision to carry out social contribution activities for children and youth in Vietnam’s Haiphong City
  • Launching projects for eye health support and school psychological counseling rooms

SEOUL, South Korea, April 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — LG Innotek (CEO Moon Hyuksoo) has partnered with the global humanitarian organization World Vision to expand its flagship social contribution program, “I Dream Up,” into Vietnam.

On April 3, LG Innotek announced that it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with World Vision to launch the “I Dream Up Vietnam” project at World Vision’s headquarters in Yeouido, Seoul.

I Dream Up is a social contribution program whose name carries multiple meanings in Korean—”ai” (kids) and “eye”—symbolizing LG Innotek’s optical solutions business and its support for children’s futures. Specifically, the name of the program reflects the characteristics of LG Innotek’s camera module business, which supplies the “eyes” of smartphones, autonomous vehicles, and robots.

The program mainly includes the “Children and Youth Vision Loss Prevention Project” and “Junior Pine Tree Classroom,” which provides education on materials and components. To date, the program has provided eye surgery and treatment support to around 400 children and youth in Korea and engaged 18,000 students in the Junior Pine Tree Classroom.

This MOU aims to expand the “I Dream Up program,” which is currently thriving domestically, into overseas markets, starting with Vietnam. The two companies will collaborate on an eye health support project and the establishment of school psychological counseling rooms for children and youth in Haiphong City, Vietnam, home to LG Innotek’s largest global production subsidiary.

Through this partnership, LG Innotek plans to conduct ophthalmic examinations at eight elementary, middle, and high schools in Haiphong City’s Ngo Quyen District while also providing operational support and medical supplies for eye treatments. In addition, the company will establish infrastructure for psychological counseling rooms at four schools, including counseling devices and equipment, and provide mental health-related materials.

LG Innotek envisions expanding the “I Dream Up” program to regions hosting its major global production subsidiaries, including Vietnam and Mexico.

Baeksoo Cho, Vice President for Business Support Division, said, “Through the ‘I Dream Up’ program, we hope to help children—the future generation—improve their eye health and pursue their dreams through greater educational opportunities,” adding, “LG Innotek will continue its sincere social contribution efforts to help build a brighter future and bring greater happiness to all.”

[Reference] LG Innotek “I Dream Up” Program

Launched last year, “I Dream Up” is LG Innotek’s social contribution brand. The subject “I” (pronounced “ai” in Korean) carries multiple meanings, including “eye” and “kids.” Its main programs are the “Children and Youth Vision Loss Prevention Project” and “Junior Pine Tree Classroom.”

The “Children and Youth Vision Loss Prevention Project” covers the full costs of ophthalmic examinations and surgeries for strabismus (eye misalignment) and entropion (inverted eyelid), as well as the related treatments, for children and youth unable to access care due to the high costs of such procedures. Launched last year as Korea’s first such initiative, the project has benefited approximately 400 children and youth to date.

The “Junior Pine Tree Classroom” provides hands-on education on semiconductors and autonomous driving to elementary school students in Korea while also supporting after-school care institutions with classroom repairs and upgrades to learning equipment. From 2011 to present, the program has engaged 16,000 children in materials and science classes and improved learning environments for 1,900 children across 53 after-school care facilities.
