Selangor will give 50,000 residents a year of access to the AI platform Gemini Enterprise. The state has set aside RM12 million for the plan. It works with Google, which also has a US$15b data centre plan for Selangor and Negeri Sembilan.
Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari announced it on 13 November. He spoke while tabling the 2027 Selangor Budget in the state assembly. The aim is to keep pace with fast changes in technology.
Here is who the plan covers, what training comes with it and what is still unknown. However, the speech gave no start date or sign-up steps.
Who gets Gemini Enterprise in Selangor
The state will give 50,000 residents access to the platform for one year. The access lasts 12 months. Specifically, it names students, university undergraduates and entrepreneurs. It also names farmers, startup founders and senior citizens.
The programme is a partnership with the Selangor Technical Skills Development Centre (STDC) and Google. Moreover, a training package comes with the access. It has both online and in-person sessions.
Meanwhile, the state has allocated RM12 million. Divided by 50,000 residents, that is RM240 each. That is our arithmetic, not the state’s. The speech gave no price for the licences.
However, the speech did not say how residents will be picked. Likewise, it did not give an age limit or a sign-up date. Check with the state before you plan to join.
What the Selangor Gemini Enterprise training teaches
Specifically, the training aims to give residents skills to build “agentic AI” systems. Amirudin said these systems are meant to boost productivity and simplify daily life. In other words, they are tools that can carry out tasks.
Overall, the state wants a society that is literate in AI. It wants people to use AI to boost productivity. It also wants them to understand the risks. Therefore, the training is not only about tools.

In addition, Amirudin said the plan answers the rapid pace of change from digital technology. Notably, it covers a wide mix of groups, from students to retirees. The speech did not list the course topics or the hours.
However, the state did not say who will run the in-person sessions. It also did not say where they will be held. As a result, residents cannot yet judge how easy it will be to attend.
Teraju AI and what Selangor plans for 2027
Separately, earlier in 2026, the state launched a programme called Teraju AI with Google. Ten state government departments took part. Each was asked to find an administrative problem that AI could solve.
So far, seven of the 10 departments have built a product to raise productivity. The speech did not name the products. Likewise, it did not say how much time or money they save.
Amirudin said the state will keep working in 2027 to bring AI benefits to people. Furthermore, he linked the plan to the wider budget. The offer is one part of it.
In short, Selangor will give 50,000 residents a year of Gemini Enterprise, backed by RM12 million. Training covers online and in-person sessions. Watch for the start date and sign-up steps
