Furthermore, CMC's telecommunications sector saw the largest growth rate, up 18 per cent compared to the same period last year, in large part due to the creation and service provision of the ‘CMC Cloud ecosystem.’
Another key investment area was in technology infrastructure, which saw the development of the CMC Creative Space (CCS) in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
