Perak pushes five projects with IR5.0, i-ESG principles
Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Saarani Mohamad said that the development of five major projects in Perak demonstrates the application of Inclusive Environment, Social And Governance (i-ESG) and Industrial Revolution 5.0 (IR5.0) principles. He emphasized that modernizing digital infrastructure in these projects is vital for attracting investment and boosting local innovation.
Saarani highlighted that the shift from IR4.0 to IR5.0 focuses on empowering humans with machines rather than replacing them. The five key projects, including the Automotive High Technology Valley and Perak Halal Industrial Park, showcase how i-ESG and IR5.0 are being applied.
He also noted that IR5.0 helps predict machine breakdowns and optimize agriculture with smart technology. Saarani stressed that tackling food security requires modern technology, such as IoT, AI, and robotics, to ensure sustainability. He encouraged collaboration across sectors to strengthen the food supply chain and improve efficiency.
