He also highlighted how i-Usahawan is a promising avenue for Brunei LNG to collaborate with service vendors, fostering in-country value for youth in industry experience and new markets for small and medium enterprises (SMEs), allowing Brunei LNG to support local talent and building a skilled workforce for the nation.
Pixelated Enterprise’s Mohamad Izzudddin, in his speech, spoke about overcoming the challenges in the industry and underscored the value of providing services that align with Brunei’s Digital Economy Masterplan and supporting the Sultanate’s journey towards a diversified national economy.

The i-Usahawan contract between Brunei LNG and Pixelated Enterprise marks the first contract awarded under a highly specialised quadrant, such as document scanning and digitisation contracts.
The contract offers the vendor a chance to implement digitisation methods and supports Brunei LNG’s commitment to being more sustainable and efficient, through modern, automated technology.
The contract also serves as an opportunity to create a safe and nurturing working environment for individuals with specialised needs, under the banner of Brunei LNG’s EmployAbility Enabled programme. – Daniel Lim
