MALAYSIA, 4 NOVEMBER 2025 – Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation (MDEC) led the country’s strong presence at Expand North Star (ENS) and GITEX Dubai 2025, positioning Malaysia as a hub for technological innovation. The events provided a global platform for Malaysian companies to showcase advanced solutions, engage with regional players, and promote expertise in emerging sectors including fintech, artificial intelligence (AI), and digital services.
Robust bilateral ties between Malaysia and the UAE created strategic avenues for businesses to enter one of the Middle East’s most dynamic digital markets. MDEC played a key role in facilitating these connections, enabling companies to navigate the regional landscape, explore collaboration opportunities, and share knowledge.

Axai Digital Sdn Bhd partnered with E3 Middle East Entrepreneur Network LLC FZ, Ultrack Technology Sdn Bhd collaborated with iOmniscient Pty Ltd, and Vulsan X Cydef Sdn Bhd joined forces with Secumailer. These agreements aim to establish strategic partnerships that enhance innovation, expand market reach, and deliver secure, sustainable technology solutions across key industries.

With approved investments reaching RM44.6 billion as of August 2025, Malaysian companies demonstrate strong confidence in the nation’s capabilities and its growing global reputation as a trusted partner in digital innovation.
