January 9, 2026, 8:16 PM EST. VCI Global (NASDAQ: VCIG) says its first Enterprise AI GPU Lounge in Kuala Lumpur is ready and will handle enterprise workloads by late January 2026. The co-working data center offers subscription-based access to NVIDIA Blackwell GPU compute via V Gallant's Intelli-X platform, with zero-data-retention architecture and data sovereignty features that keep data under local governance. The facility also serves as an IDEX Hub inside a green-certified building and is pitched as a capital-efficient alternative to upfront GPU CAPEX for regulated enterprises, multinationals and government entities, aligning with VCI Global's Physical AI roadmap for robotics and autonomous systems. Market reaction: VCIG shares fell about 4.9% intraday with heavy trading; last price around $0.91, though data shows variations due to delays.
