[Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia – November 19, 2025] – The Asia Pacific Innovation Center (APIC), a strategic new landmark aiming to reshape the business landscape of the Asia-Pacific region, was officially launched today in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. As a key business hub connecting China, the United States, the Asia-Pacific region, and the Middle East, the opening of APIC marks the official launch of a new ecosystem integrating Web3 innovation incubation, global education empowerment, and cross-border capital integration.
At the opening ceremony 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, and is committed to breaking down geographical barriers by integrating top global financial, technological, and educational resources to provide companies with end-to-end support from startup incubation to international expansion.
Three core driving forces define the future of business
APIC is not just a physical space, but also a dynamic resource integration platform. In his address, Eugene emphasized that the center's core competitiveness can be summarized into three driving forces:
- Business-driven: Building a global, end-to-end service system. APIC will become the intersection of Web3 innovation projects and traditional businesses, providing not only one-stop incubation support from technology and compliance to the market, but also assisting traditional enterprises in their digital transformation and helping them go global.
- Education Empowerment: Cultivating Global Leaders for the Future. The center announced strategic partnerships with top global universities such as MIT, UCLA Anderson, and UKM to introduce blockchain and cutting-edge technology courses and provide the industry with professionals with a global perspective by awarding authoritative certificates.
- Alliance Ecosystem: Building a Cross-Regional Strategic Network. With strong support from institutions such as DID Alliance, HotLink, 42X Fund, DPIN, Tangrendao, and HKIT, APIC has built a diverse ecosystem covering finance, technology, and industry, providing members with unparalleled capital support and forward-looking insights.
Six strategic agreements were signed to jointly build a diversified and win-win ecosystem.
At the inauguration ceremony, the Asia-Pacific Innovation Center demonstrated its strong resource aggregation capabilities, signing Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs) with six heavyweight institutions, comprehensively covering four major areas: digital economy, business innovation, education, and social responsibility.
- Promoting Digital Economy and Business Connectivity: APIC has entered into strategic partnerships with the Singapore Digital Chamber of Commerce (SDCC) and the Malaysian Hokkien Chamber of Commerce (MFCCI). Both parties will focus on cross-border digital trade, regional technology ecosystem development, and the integration of Hokkien businesses' global resources to jointly explore new opportunities in the Asia-Pacific digital economy.
- Empowering Enterprise Innovation and Global Expansion: APIC has partnered with Regal Global Sdn Bhd to engage in in-depth cooperation in business development, high-value project incubation, and cross-border strategic initiatives to help enterprises achieve leapfrog growth.
- Deepening its commitment to international education and youth development: Focusing on the power of the future, APIC signed a cooperation agreement with Globalfront International Sdn Bhd and the World Quanzhou Youth Friendship Association Malaysia Branch. The parties will dedicate themselves to promoting international academic exchange, cultivating young leaders, and facilitating cross-cultural business cooperation, thereby building a pool of innovative talent for the Asia-Pacific region.
- Fulfilling social responsibility: APIC has partnered with the Malaysian Community Volunteer Organization (AKRAM) to empower communities through technology and education, promoting social welfare and sustainable development.
Looking to the future: Building an open business ecosystem
In his closing remarks, Eugene stated, “The establishment of the Asia Pacific Innovation Center (APIC) represents a fresh interpretation of the concept of ‘connectivity.’ We position ourselves as a strategic hub connecting global capital and markets, but this is not merely about connecting business interests; it is about the deep integration of talent, wisdom, and opportunities. Looking ahead, APIC will become a vital engine for driving regional cooperation and innovation. We look forward to working with all our partners to build an open, diverse, and win-win business ecosystem, injecting new growth energy into the Asia Pacific region.”
