Helping Organisations evolve from Traditional Ways of Working to Future-ready, AI-enabled Capabilities.
“Catalyst for Innovation, Optimisation & Transformation”
What We Do
A boutique innovation organisation focused on solving real operational challenges using data-driven ML and AI to build scalable, future-ready digital capabilities.
From Operational Challenges to Scalable Digital Capabilities
Rooted in real-world challenges, CIOT is an R&D-led engineering organisation propelling innovation to the next wave of digital solutions. We transform early-stage insight into execution-ready, scalable capabilities across Malaysia and beyond.
The CIOT Edge
Innovation at CIOT is shaped by two pillars, designed to take ideas from insight to impact.
An internal incubation function where ideas are explored, assumptions tested, and early solutions take shape.
Exists to execute and scale solutions validated through CIOT’s incubation process. It brings together experienced engineers and technologists with cross-industry exposure.
Driving the Future, One Outcome at a Time
"[They] exceeded scope in various areas as several stretch objectives were met. The team always pushed to understand the ‘why’ behind rewiorements and their general business awareness helped significantly in this."
Incredibly talented, immensely adaptable, flexible, and flawless in their execution, and have become a critical partner to both our operational processes and our global portfolio.
"We can gain real-time visibility into critical performance metrics, foster improved collaboration, and empower informed decision-making across departments."
"[They] elevated our month-end close process via an automated financial consolidation model. We have shortened our reporting timeline by 50%"
Building Capabilities that Scale
Guided by deep technical expertise and real-world experience, CIOT navigates complex challenges to deliver outcomes that scale reliably.

Your Questions, Answered.
We identify real operational and market challenges, incubate early-stage solutions, and validate them through structured prototyping and proofs of concept. Once proven, these solutions are transitioned into established operating platforms within our ecosystem or developed into standalone entities where appropriate.
Our focus is on practical, outcome-driven innovation, engineering solutions that work in the real world, not hype-driven experimentation.
Yes. Our work is anchored by strong internal engineering teams and long-standing collaborations within our extended ecosystem. We also selectively engage with external organisations when there is clear alignment with our incubation approach. Partnerships are formed purposefully, particularly where they accelerate delivery or introduce specialised capabilities in areas such as applied AI, automation, and workflow transformation.
Yes. We welcome discussions where an idea or challenge aligns with our areas of focus, including:
- Workflow modernisation
- Data platforms and analytics
- Automation and orchestration
- AI readiness and applied use cases
- Compliance and governance processes
- Enterprise transformation initiatives
CIOT is not a general startup investment vehicle. We engage selectively, collaborating where there is a strong fit with our incubation model and a clear path to practical, real-world impact.
We do not "advise and walk away."
We co-build, test, and transfer solutions with real teams.
We focus on tools, prototypes, proofs-of-concept, and future-ready platforms, not theoretical reports.
CIOT works across industries where traditional workflows, legacy systems, and manual processes limit productivity- including oil & gas, retail, healthcare, insurance, banking & finance, telecommunications, manufacturing, distribution, logistics, and auditing.
Our focus is on operational problem-solving, automation, data infrastructure, and preparing organisations for AI adoption.
CIOT R&D is where we:
- Explore and validate new ideas
- Build and refine prototypes
- Tworkflows and operating models
- Run proofs of concept (POCs)
- Assess technical, operational, and commercial feasibility
All work is guided by real customer needs and practical application, ensuring innovation is outcome-driven rather than theoretical.
Anytime you have:
- A workflow problem
- A legacy bottleneck
- An operational inefficiency
- A need to explore an AI-enabled future capability
Earlier is better, as our process begins with co-discovery.
