Malaysia Government Backs Blockchain Week 2025 to Boost Digital Innovation

Malaysia Blockchain Week 2025 (MYBW 2025) is set to receive significant support from the Malaysian government, underscoring the nation's efforts to promote blockchain adoption and digital innovation. The event, scheduled for July 21-22, 2025, at the World Trade Centre Kuala Lumpur, will feature key ministers delivering speeches and hosting discussions to shape Malaysia’s Web3 strategy and technological future.

YB Tuan Gobind Singh Deo, Minister of Digital, and YB Tuan Chang Lih Kang, Minister of Science, Technology, and Innovation, will be among the prominent figures attending the event. Their participation highlights the government's commitment to fostering a supportive environment for Web3 ventures and blockchain technology. Minister Deo emphasized Malaysia's position as a compelling destination for digital innovation, noting that public-private partnerships like MYBW reflect a broader national vision to cultivate innovation and strengthen regional leadership.

MYBW 2025 will include a variety of activities aimed at supporting blockchain startups and international collaboration. These activities include hackathons, pitch days, and global networking opportunities. The event aims to create a platform for meaningful dialogue, strategic collaboration, investment opportunities, and forward-thinking solutions, with the goal of nurturing the next generation of Malaysian blockchain startups.

The Ministry of Tourism, Arts, and Culture will also play a role in driving awareness and interest in MYBW, ensuring that both international and local visitors have access to a range of activities and networking opportunities. The event will feature exclusive airdrop giveaways, keynotes, panel discussions, and various activations that bridge the gap between Web3 and reality. Additionally, the popular Hackathon, VC Pitch Day, and Regulatory Roundtable will return, making the week a comprehensive and accomplished one.

Malaysia's commitment to driving digital adoption and blockchain innovation is evident through various projects and public-private partnerships. The inaugural MYBW, launched last year, marked the beginning of this journey. Minister Deo is slated to deliver a keynote speech that will outline the future of Malaysia’s digital landscape and conduct a roundtable with key thought leaders. Minister Chang Lih Kang will also deliver a keynote, providing insights and support for technological advancements that further develop Malaysia’s burgeoning technological innovations.

These discussions are crucial in advancing Malaysia’s influence and advancements within the blockchain space, both internationally and locally. The event provides a unique opportunity for various parties to come together and build a forward-thinking Malaysia. The government's support for MYBW 2025 underscores its commitment to digital transformation and the adoption of next-generation technologies, positioning Malaysia as a leader in the global digital ecosystem.
