STOCKHOLM – Sarawak is taking part in global discussions on strengthening secure and mission-critical communications at the Secure Networks for Unified Communications Conference 2026 (SNUC’26) in Stockholm.
The event brings together international experts, policymakers and industry leaders to address the growing importance of resilient communication systems for civil security and emergency response.
Sarawak Digital Economy Corporation (SDEC) Chief Technology Officer, Ts. Hamadlan, shared insights into Sarawak’s journey in building robust digital ecosystems.
He highlighted the state’s collaboration with the Malaysian Army to enhance border security and operational readiness, stressing the need for interoperability and reliable communication systems in real-world scenarios.
His presentation underscored how Sarawak’s digital strategy is closely aligned with global best practices in civil defence and emergency preparedness.
The conference serves as a platform for exchanging perspectives on secure communications, particularly in supporting those who protect and serve.
Ts. Hamadlan noted that Sarawak’s experience demonstrates how digital resilience can be achieved through partnerships, innovation and investment in advanced technologies.
He emphasised that the lessons learned from international peers would be invaluable in strengthening Sarawak’s own communications landscape.
SNUC’26 also provided an opportunity for Sarawak to showcase its progress in digital transformation, including initiatives under the Post-COVID-19 Development Strategy (PCDS) 2030.
The strategy places strong emphasis on digital economy growth, social inclusion and environmental sustainability, with secure communications forming a critical component of its implementation.
Equally important, the conference allowed Sarawak to learn from global counterparts, gaining insights into emerging technologies and strategies for mission-critical communications.
These exchanges are expected to inform future policies and projects in Sarawak, ensuring that the state remains at the forefront of digital innovation and security.
Looking ahead, Sarawak is preparing to continue these conversations at the International Digital Economy Conference Sarawak (IDECS26), which will be held later this year.
SDEC has extended an invitation to partners and peers to join the discussions in Sarawak, reinforcing the state’s role as a hub for digital collaboration and innovation in the region.
The participation at SNUC’26 reflects Sarawak’s commitment to strengthening its digital infrastructure while contributing to global efforts in civil security and emergency response.
By engaging with international experts and sharing its own experiences, Sarawak is positioning itself as a proactive player in shaping the future of secure communications.
