MDX Summit 2025 To Focus On Nextgen Technologies
KUALA LUMPUR, July 15 (Bernama) -- The Malaysia Digital Xceleration (MDX) Summit 2025 will focus on next-generation technologies, discussing five key points in panel sessions throughout the three-day event.
MDX will take place from Sept 17 to 19 at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre, alongside the SmartGov Malaysia Summit 2025.
The MDX Summit is co-organised by the Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation (MDEC) and the National Digital Department. Meanwhile, hybrid events curator and platform provider Synapze Sdn Bhd is a strategic partner.
MDEC chief executive officer (CEO) Anuar Fariz Fadzil said the summit is anticipated to further boost Malaysia’s digital leadership in ASEAN by driving innovation, investment and inclusive growth.
He highlighted that more than 5,000 participants are expected for this year’s edition.
The third edition of the MDX Summit and the inaugural SmartGov Malaysia 2025 are expected to reinforce Malaysia’s position as a leading digital nation in ASEAN.
“Technologies utilising digital assets and digital agents at its core will further drive outcomes through talent development, innovation, and responsible artificial intelligence (AI) to smarter public services,” he told a media briefing on the summit here today.
MDX Summit will focus on five core areas: Next-Gen Data, Next-Gen Computing, Next-Gen Trust, Next-Gen Creativity, and Next-Gen Talent, demonstrating how Malaysia is applying technological innovation into applied solutions to benefit businesses, government services, the rakyat, and the broader regional economy.
As the country’s premier digital economy platform, Anuar said both events serve as a hub for transformative discussions on emerging technologies, supporting Malaysia’s ambition to lead the regional data economy, in line with the MADANI government’s vision of building an inclusive, sustainable and fully digital smart nation.
The event will feature international experts, including the London School of Economics professor of economics and the author of “The New China Playbook”, Dr Keyu Jin. Additionally, the managing director of Founders at the University of Cambridge, Gerard Grech, who is also the founding CEO of Tech Nation UK, will also be participating.
Meanwhile, National Digital Department director-general Nik Zalbiha Nik Mat said the government is committed to building an ecosystem where innovation thrives while safeguarding data sovereignty, trust and inclusivity.
“This vision will be reflected in the event’s focus on AI-powered citizen chatbots, cybersecurity partnerships and smarter public service delivery,” she said.
The SmartGov Malaysia 2025, themed “GovTech for the Future – Innovating Public Service Delivery”, aims to strengthen Malaysia’s GovTech ecosystem and accelerate digital adoption in public services.
It highlights three pillars of future-ready governance: AI for citizen-centric solutions, Big Data for trust and transparency, and Cloud Computing for agile, resilient services.
