HIVE Global Group Founder and Chairman Mehamood Hosein met with Uganda's President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni at State House Entebbe to discuss opportunities for cooperation in artificial intelligence, digital infrastructure and technology-led economic development.
The discussions explored opportunities to position Uganda as a regional centre for artificial intelligence infrastructure, advanced computing, research and digital services.
Mr. Hosein outlined the proposed HIVE Uganda and Global AI Village concepts, bringing together AI computing infrastructure, reliable energy, education, technology development and international private investment.
The engagement reflects HIVE Global Group's broader vision of building the infrastructure of human knowledge and supporting emerging technology ecosystems through strategic international dialogue.
The concepts discussed remain proposals under active dialogue. This meeting does not constitute a signed partnership, approved investment, government contract or completed project.
Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Aminuddin Harun announces the world's first large-scale photonic computing and semiconductor initiative, realised through a collaboration between the Hosein Family Office (USA) and the Gan Family Office (Malaysia).
SEREMBAN — Negeri Sembilan has announced the development of the Nilai Advanced Photonic AI Manufacturing City, reportedly the first large-scale photonic computing and semiconductor initiative of its kind in the world.
Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Aminuddin Harun said the project is being realised through a collaboration between the Hosein Family Office (USA) and the Gan Family Office (Malaysia). Mehamood Hosein, the founder of deep-tech Hosein Family Office, is leading the initiative with more than 30 years of experience in real-time temporal systems, advanced semiconductor innovation, and photonic computing, while the Gan Family Office is contributing 1,214.06 hectares (3,000 acres) of land.
The project, planned at a scale of approximately US$20 billion (RM81.7 billion) over the next five years, is expected to deliver 40,000 high-paying skilled jobs, 20,000 indirect jobs across supporting industries, and a total of 60,000 long-term employment opportunities.
"The development will include photonic chipset integration facilities, glass interposer and waveguide factories, AI compute system assembly lines, a national real-time AI and digital twin research centre, a deep-tech engineering and technology training academy and an integrated township to support industry and workforce growth," said Aminuddin.
The Nilai Advanced Photonic AI Manufacturing City will introduce breakthrough photonic computing, where data moves through light instead of electricity — enabling dramatically higher speeds, lower heat, and far greater energy efficiency, allowing Malaysia to leapfrog traditional electrical semiconductor manufacturing.
Aminuddin said photonic architecture is widely regarded as the next platform for semiconductor technology, providing the performance, scale, and efficiency required to support advanced artificial intelligence, national digital infrastructure, and next-generation industrial systems — positioning Malaysia among the first nations to build the semiconductor platform of the future and the first large-scale photonic semiconductor manufacturing hub in Southeast Asia.
