[Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia – November 19, 2025] – The strategic new landmark aimed at reshaping the business landscape in the Asia Pacific – the Asia Pacific Innovation Center (APIC) – was officially announced today in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. As a key commercial hub connecting China, the United States, the Asia Pacific, and the Middle East, the launch of APIC marks the establishment of a new ecosystem that integrates Web3 innovation incubation, global education empowerment, and cross-border capital integration.
At the opening ceremony held that evening, Eugene Xiao, Chairman of the DID Alliance and Chairman of the Asia Pacific Innovation Center, delivered a speech outlining the center's vision to global partners. APIC will be based in Kuala Lumpur, a strategic location, dedicated to breaking down regional barriers by integrating top financial, technological, and educational resources from around the world, providing enterprises with full-chain support from startup incubation to international expansion.
Three Core Driving Forces Defining the Future of Business
APIC is not just a physical space but also a dynamic resource integration platform. Eugene emphasized in his speech that the center's core competitiveness is distilled into three driving forces:
Business Driven: Creating a Global Full-Link Service System. APIC will become the intersection of Web3 innovation projects and traditional business, providing one-stop incubation support from technology and compliance to market, while also assisting traditional enterprises in digital transformation to help them set sail into the international market.
Education Empowerment: Cultivating Global Leaders for the Future. The center announced strategic cooperation with top global institutions such as the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), UCLA Anderson School of Management, and Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM), introducing blockchain and cutting-edge technology courses, and issuing authoritative certificates to deliver professionals with a global perspective to the industry.
Alliance Ecology: Building a Cross-Regional Strategic Network. With strong support from institutions such as DID Alliance, HotLink, 42X Fund, DPIN, Tangren Road, HKIT, and others, APIC has constructed a diverse ecosystem covering finance, technology, and industry, providing members with unparalleled capital support and forward-looking insights.
Six Major Strategic Agreements to Build a Diverse and Win-Win Ecosystem
At the inauguration ceremony, the Asia Pacific Innovation Center demonstrated its strong resource cohesion by signing memorandums of understanding (MOU) with six heavyweight institutions, comprehensively laying out four major fields: digital economy, business innovation, education, and social responsibility:
Promoting Digital Economy and Trade Connectivity: APIC has formed strategic partnerships with the Singapore Digital Chamber of Commerce (SDCC) and the Malaysian Fujian Chamber of Commerce (MFCCI). Both parties will focus on cross-border digital trade, regional technology ecosystem development, and the global resource integration of Fujian merchants to explore new opportunities in the Asia-Pacific digital economy.
Empowering Enterprise Innovation and Going Global: APIC partners with Regal Global Sdn Bhd, and both will engage in deep cooperation in business development, high-value project incubation, and cross-border strategic initiatives to help enterprises achieve leapfrog growth.
Deepening International Education and Youth Development: Focusing on the power of the future, APIC has signed cooperation agreements with Globalfront International Sdn Bhd and the World Quanzhou Youth Friendship Association Malaysia Branch. All parties are committed to promoting international academic exchanges, youth leadership cultivation, and cross-cultural business cooperation to cultivate innovative talents for the Asia-Pacific region.
Practicing Social Responsibility: APIC has established cooperation with the Malaysian Community Volunteer Organization (AKRAM), aiming to empower communities through technology and education, promoting social welfare and sustainable development.
Looking Ahead: Building an Open Business Ecosystem
Eugene stated in his closing remarks: "The establishment of the Asia Pacific Innovation Center is our new interpretation of the concept of 'connection'. We position ourselves as a strategic hub connecting global capital and markets, but this is not just about the connection of business interests; it is also about the deep integration of talent, wisdom, and opportunities. Looking ahead, APIC will become an important engine for promoting regional cooperation and innovation. We look forward to working hand in hand with all partners to build an open, diverse, and win-win business ecosystem that injects new growth energy into the Asia-Pacific region."
