Exploring Sarawak’s telemedicine and digital health progress, highlighting benefits, ongoing challenges, and actionable strategies to enhance healthcare access, especially in rural and underserved communities.
Sarawak’s renewable energy journey is entering a critical acceleration phase, where bold infrastructure investments converge with advanced digital technologies. The state’s path forward is not only focused on increasing clean energy capacity but also on building a highly intelligent, interconnected energy ecosystem capable of supporting industrial expansion, regional energy trade, and sustainable living.
While Sarawak's green ambitions are guided by high-level policies and strategic frameworks, the true measure of its commitment lies in the technologies being deployed across the state. From harnessing the force of its rivers to pioneering hydrogen fuel production and integrating smart grids, Sarawak’s renewable energy mix reflects both its natural advantages and its investment in innovation.
Aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and its own Post-COVID Development Strategy (PCDS) 2030, Sarawak has made sustainability, inclusivity, and innovation central to its development agenda.
Over the past decade, Sarawak has significantly expanded its renewable energy capacity—led by hydropower—which now makes up over 60% of its energy mix, exceeding its original targets.
Sarawak is leading Southeast Asia’s renewable energy transition through hydropower, solar, hydrogen, and digital technologies—achieving sustainability goals while expanding access, reducing emissions, and enabling smart, inclusive energy systems.
For rural communities, the National Information Dissemination Centre or NADI initiative have led to significant impacts in the way they utilise the Internet and technology to improve their digital skills, knowledge and living standards.
Sarawak Digital and Connectivity Day showcased innovations and initiatives aimed at enhancing rural connectivity, highlighting the MySDEC app and MySRBN service, driving digital inclusion across Sarawak.
