The UCSI Group, the parent organisation of UCSI University, is spearheading an initiative to promote the growth of the nation in education, health and research. The Group is developing a 160-acre integrated premium health education township in Bandar Springhill, Negeri Sembilan, including the 1,000-bed UCSI University Hospital, the UCSI International School, the five star UCSI Hotel Springhill and a new campus for UCSI University. The Group is investing RM850 million into the first phase of the project, which is expected to generate a cumulative RM1.3 billion to Malaysia's Gross National Income by 2020 and create 2,000 jobs by 2015.

The project, Entry Point Project 14 -- the Premium Health Education Cluster (EPP 14), is part of the government's larger Economic Transformation Programme to transform Malaysia into a high-income nation by 2020. EPP14 is located within the programme's "Education" National Key Economic Area (NKEA), one of the programme's 12 areas of focus.
