A new hub connecting China, the United States, and Asia-Pacific capital: the Asia-Pacific Innovation Center (APIC) Kuala Lumpur officially opened to build a new ecosystem of global business empowerment

【Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia — November 19, 2025】 —— A new strategic landmark aimed at reshaping the Asia-Pacific business landscape—the Asia Pacific Innovation Center (APIC)—today officially announced its establishment in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. As a key commercial hub connecting China, the United States, the Asia-Pacific, and the Middle East, the opening of APIC marks the launch of a new ecosystem that integrates Web3 innovation incubation, global education empowerment, and cross-border capital fusion.

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. Based in Kuala Lumpur, a strategic location, APIC is committed to breaking down geographical barriers by integrating top global financial, technological, and educational resources to provide full-spectrum support for enterprises from startup incubation to international expansion.

Three Core Drivers Defining the Future of Business

APIC is not just a physical space but a dynamic resource integration platform. Eugene emphasized that the center’s core competitiveness converges into three main drivers:

1. Business Driven: Building a global full-chain service system. APIC will serve as a convergence point for Web3 innovative projects and traditional businesses, offering one-stop incubation support from technology and compliance to market access, and assisting traditional enterprises in digital transformation to help them sail overseas.
2. Education Empowerment: Cultivating future-oriented global leaders. The center announced strategic partnerships with top global institutions including MIT, UCLA Anderson School of Management, and UKM (National University of Malaysia), introducing blockchain and cutting-edge technology courses, and issuing authoritative certificates to supply the industry with professionals with a global perspective.
3. Alliance Ecosystem: Building cross-regional strategic networks. Relying on strong support from organizations like DID Alliance, HotLink, 42X Fund, DPIN, Tangren Dao, HKIT, APIC has established a diverse ecosystem covering finance, technology, and industry, providing members with unparalleled capital support and forward-looking insights.

Six Strategic Agreements, Co-creating a Diverse and Win-Win Ecosystem

At the founding ceremony, the Asia Pacific Innovation Center demonstrated its strong resource cohesion by signing Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs) with six heavyweight organizations, covering four key areas: digital economy, business innovation, education, and social responsibility:

• Promoting Digital Economy and Commercial Connectivity: APIC formed strategic collaborations with the Singapore Digital Chamber of Commerce (SDCC) and the Malaysia Fujian Chamber of Commerce (MFCCI). Both parties will focus on cross-border digital trade, regional tech ecosystem development, and global resource integration for Fujian merchants, jointly exploring new opportunities in the Asia-Pacific digital economy.
• Enabling Business Innovation and Going Global: APIC partnered with Regal Global Sdn Bhd for in-depth cooperation in business development, high-value project incubation, and cross-border strategic initiatives, helping enterprises achieve leapfrog growth.
• Fostering International Education and Youth Development: Focusing on future talent, APIC signed cooperation agreements with Globalfront International Sdn Bhd and the World Quanzhou Youth Friendship Association Malaysia Branch. All parties will work to promote international academic exchanges, youth leadership cultivation, and cross-cultural business cooperation to prepare innovative talents for the Asia-Pacific region.
• Practicing Social Responsibility: APIC established a partnership with Malaysia community volunteer organization AKRAM, aiming to empower communities through technology and education, and promote social welfare and sustainable development.

Looking Ahead: Building an Open Business Ecosystem Together

In his closing speech, Eugene stated: “The establishment of the Asia Pacific Innovation Center is our new interpretation of the concept of ‘connection.’ We see ourselves as a strategic hub connecting global capital and markets, but this is not just about business interests—it’s about the deep integration of talent, wisdom, and opportunities. Looking forward, APIC will serve as a major engine for regional cooperation and innovation. We look forward to working hand in hand with all partners to build an open, diverse, and mutually beneficial business ecosystem, injecting new growth energy into the Asia-Pacific region.”
