MDEC Strengthens Malaysia-Thailand Digital Ties at DEX CONNEX Thailand 2025

A Testament to the Strong Digital Synergy Between Malaysia and Thailand

Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation (MDEC), in partnership with the Malaysian Research Accelerator for Technology & Innovation (MRANTI), successfully concluded its latest Digital Exports (DEX) CONNEX Thailand 2025 initiative with the signing of 10 Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) between Malaysian tech companies and Thai partners. These partnerships are expected to generate over RM200 million in potential digital export opportunities for these local tech companies.

Held in conjunction with the prestigious Techsauce Global Summit 2025, the flagship programme reflects MDEC’s ongoing commitment to strengthening cross-border digital collaboration, as evident by the support of 52 Malaysian tech companies in expanding their international presence, while also fostering innovation-driven partnerships across ASEAN.

A key highlight of this programme was the renewal of MDEC’s Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Thailand’s Digital Economy Promotion Agency (depa), first signed in 2023 and witnessed by Prime Minister YAB Dato’ Seri Anwar Ibrahim. This renewed agreement reinforces both nations’ shared ambition to develop their digital economies through joint initiatives and knowledge exchange.

Anuar Fariz Fadzil, Chief Executive Officer of MDEC, said: “This renewed partnership with depa Thailand is testament to the strong synergy between Malaysia and Thailand in building a digitally connected and future-ready ASEAN. DEX CONNEX goes beyond being an access programme to serving as a catalyst for strategic, cross-border collaborations that generate exports, attract investment and build resilience for our tech ecosystem.”
