Hatten Land, Huawei in cloud computing, data centre, solar energy tie-up

HATTEN Land PH0 : PH0 0% has inked an agreement with Huawei International to jointly explore and develop business opportunities in renewable energy, data centre, cloud computing, enterprise intelligence and fintech infrastructure.

The move comes as the Malaysia property developer eyes shareholder approval at an extraordinary general meeting on Dec 30 to diversify its business to include renewable energy, physical-digital malls, cryptocurrency mining and the metaverse.

Hatten Edge - incorporated on Dec 16 - will spearhead all of Hatten's strategic pivots, digital and blockchain initiatives. The wholly-owned subsidiary entered into a comprehensive collaboration agreement with Huawei International.

Together, both parties will work on eco-friendly data centres which aim to cater to "surging demand" for data centres from cloud service providers in the region, Hatten Land said in a bourse filing on Monday (Dec 27).

They will also work on solar facilities in Malaysia. For starters, Hatten's first 6,000-solar-panel project on Melaka mall Dataran Pahlawan in 2022 will be equipped with Huawei's smart inverters.

Moreover, Huawei will provide its research and innovations on industrial-grade infrastructure architecture designed for fintech institutions. It will also support Hatten's digital initiatives by using cloud native technologies such as big data analytics, automation, algorithm and more.
