YY Group (NASDAQ: YYGH) Unveils Scalable AI Training Data Strategy to Power Next-Generation Robotics and Artificial Intelligence

Leverages a 500,000-user workforce network across 12 countries to generate structured real-world AI training datasets

Unlocks high-margin, data-driven revenue opportunities and global technology partnerships

SINGAPORE, April 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- YY Group Holding Limited (Nasdaq: YYGH) ("YY Group" or the "Company"), a global leader in on-demand workforce solutions and integrated facilities management (IFM), today announced the strategic expansion of its technology ecosystem with the introduction of an AI training data platform. The scalable solution is designed to generate high-quality, real-world human data for robotics and artificial intelligence applications, addressing a critical constraint in AI development: the lack of structured human activity data required to train systems for autonomous physical execution.

As part of the initial rollout, the Company is initiating the establishment of a dedicated training and data collection facility in Johor, Malaysia, focused on the structured capture of real-world human workflows across service environments. The initiative is intended to enable YY Group to convert operational tasks into high-fidelity datasets used to train AI models and humanoid robotic systems for real-world deployment.

The platform will be powered by the YY Circle App, allowing YY Group to mobilize its network of more than 500,000 users across 12 countries into structured data collection roles. Through dedicated "Data Collection" shifts, the Company aims to generate large-scale datasets efficiently by leveraging its existing global operational infrastructure.

"This strategic initiative reflects the evolution of YY Group's platform capabilities beyond workforce services and into the AI data infrastructure layer," said Mike Fu, Chief Executive Officer of YY Group Holding Limited. "By leveraging our global network, we are uniquely positioned to generate the real-world human data required for AI systems to operate effectively in physical spaces. This expansion aligns YY Group with the next generation of intelligent systems being developed by global technology leaders."

The AI training data platform is expected to expand YY Group's capabilities into higher-margin, technology-driven solutions and is designed to position the Company as a scalable, on-the-ground data infrastructure partner for global technology companies developing robotics and artificial intelligence systems.
