Singapore-based SynVista Energy is investing US$50 million to build a large-scale energy storage manufacturing facility. But what makes Malaysia the right hub for their regional ambitions, and what does this mean for the future of clean energy in Southeast Asia?

Executive Director Peter Phang joins us to break down the strategy behind this major investment. He explains their core product, AI-powered Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) that act like "giant power banks", and how they are crucial for stabilising the grid as more renewables come online.

We discuss:

• The strategy behind their $50M investment in a Malaysian manufacturing hub.

• How their AI-powered BESS helps manage energy costs and grid stability.

• Why Malaysia was chosen over regional competitors for this facility.

• Their plan to build a "center of excellence" and develop local talent.

• The key growth drivers for the energy storage market in ASEAN.

For leaders in the energy and manufacturing sectors, and investors in CleanTech, this is a dive into the business of energy storage and a case study in building a high-tech hub in Malaysia.
