Databricks and Petronas Digital have signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to accelerate data and AI initiatives.
The collaboration aims to support Petronias Digital’s commitment to using data securely and responsibly to drive organisational decision-making.
The partners will work on building generative AI models specific to Petronias’ needs, deploy Petronas’ ESG analytics use cases, train talent and enable talent building, and provide Databricks’ technologies and data science tools through the Databricks’ University Alliance.
They will also leverage Petronas as a Databricks Marketplace partner to monetise data assets and AI models to a large, open ecosystem of data consumers all from a single platform.
“Data and AI plays a pivotal role in creating new value and sustaining business growth at Petronas. As we join forces with Databricks, we are confident in advancing towards a data and AI-driven future and to continually unlock new value for the organisation,” said Phuah Aik Chong, CEO of Petronas Digital.
“Data and AI is the top priority for businesses across the world and we are thrilled to deepen our partnership with Petronas to enable and support its data and AI vision with the Databricks Lakehouse Platform, democratising data, analytics and AI across the organisation,” said Ed Lenta, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Databricks Asia Pacific & Japan.
