  • Local AI Stack Integrationย โ€“ Full on-premise AI orchestration platform for LLM training, inference, and regulatory-compliant control

Together, these components deliver a fortified, scalable AI compute environment for data-sensitive sectors such as intelligence, fintech, gaming, Web3, and national digital infrastructure.

Codetext, known for its expertise in software engineering, AI deployment, and mission-critical enterprise platforms, works closely with government agencies and regulatory bodies across the region. Codetextโ€™s focus on intelligence services, financial infrastructure, and digital sovereignty aligns directly with the benefits of V Gallantโ€™s sovereign AI systems.

For Codetext, adopting this infrastructure ensures regulatory compliance, operational independence, and competitive differentiation. By safeguarding intellectual property and enabling AI-powered services without reliance on external cloud providers, Codetext is positioned to deliver trusted, next-generation solutions to its government and enterprise clients.

The global demand for sovereign and localized AI infrastructure is accelerating, driven by regulatory requirements, rising cybersecurity risks, and the growing need for digital independence. Industry forecasts project the AI infrastructure market to reach approximately US$197.6 billion by 2030, expanding at a 17.7% compound annual growth rate (CAGR). Meanwhile, Southeast Asiaโ€™s data center investments are expected to grow to approximately US$17.7 billion by 2029, according to Mordor Intelligence. Against this backdrop, the Codetext contract firmly positions VCI Global as a first mover in capturing meaningful share of this rapidly expanding market.

V Gallantโ€™s infrastructure ensures data sovereignty by keeping information within jurisdictional boundaries, with every transaction encrypted at the chip level. This empowers clients like Codetext to deploy high-performance AI solutions while meeting the most stringent security, privacy, and compliance requirements.

โ€œThe future of AI requires trust, and that starts with infrastructure. This contract proves our ability to deliver scalable, sovereign-grade systems that empower our clients to innovate without compromise. We are proud to partner with Codetext, a recognized leader in intelligence-driven digital solutions, to co-create the next frontier of AI infrastructure,โ€ said Datoโ€™ Victor Hoo, Group Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of VCI Global.
