MALAYSIA, 18 SEPTEMBER 2025 – AlphaMove, a Malaysian blockchain startup focused on real-world asset (RWA) tokenization, has signed a Strategic Cooperation Framework Agreement with Guangxi Research Department, under the Nanning Provincial Government of China. The agreement was formalized during the 3rd Forum on China–ASEAN Artificial Intelligence Cooperation, highlighting growing bilateral efforts in AI, blockchain, and smart city development.

“This partnership is a milestone in the collaboration between Malaysia and China in advancing high-tech economies. Together, we are building the foundation for interoperable, compliant, and future-ready smart city solutions that will benefit communities across ASEAN,” said Kingsley Tan, CEO of AlphaMove.
By bridging Malaysia’s startup ecosystem with China’s state-driven research, the agreement paves the way for digital solutions in healthcare, finance, and urban development, aligning with the shared vision of a digitally interconnected ASEAN.
