Cyberport led a delegation of its fintech start-ups to MyFintech Week 2025 (MyFW 2025), held in Kuala Lumpur from 4 to 7 August.

Several start-ups signed MoUs with both local and international fintech partners, strengthening cross-border collaboration between Hong Kong and ASEAN in digital finance and technology.

Themed “Ideate, Innovate, Co-create: Shaping the Future of Finance,” the event highlighted regional cooperation and efforts to build a more inclusive financial future.

Cyberport organised a series of side events, including pitch sessions, panel discussions, and MoU signings.

One agreement involved the launch of a digital insurance programme expected to reach over 100 million users, reflecting Hong Kong’s role as a connector for regional fintech growth.

Simon Chan, Chairman of Cyberport, said,

“As a key economy in ASEAN, Malaysia is experiencing rapid growth in fintech, offering significant opportunities for Hong Kong’s technology enterprises to expand into the ASEAN market. Cyberport, as Hong Kong’s digital technology hub and key incubator, is committed to connecting local start-ups with regional opportunities, helping them showcase their innovative capabilities and explore international markets.”

Coded Solution, a Cyberport start-up providing blockchain consulting and Blockchain-as-a-Service (BaaS), partnered with Malaysia’s VSure Tech to launch the “Flexi Benefits” insurance pilot programme.

Targeted at SMEs on the VSure.life platform, the initiative integrates Web3.0 blockchain technology with traditional insurance and aims for regional rollout across Southeast Asia.

Coded Solution also signed an MoU with AsiaPay Malaysia to bring the Green Assets Reward Program (GARP), a tokenised carbon credit solution, to the Malaysian market.

The programme will debut in Hong Kong on 11 September during “Hong Kong Green Week,” with plans for expansion across ASEAN.

This collaboration includes support for a green fintech proof-of-concept initiative with Bizteg Solutions under the carbon trading category.

In another agreement, Coded Solution joined with Sinegy DAX, Malaysia’s first regulated digital asset exchange, to build a platform for secondary market trading of tokenised financial products, aiming to broaden access to new investment options.

Cross-border payments start-up BRDGX signed an MoU with Visa Direct to combine BRDGX’s payment capabilities in Southeast Asia with Visa’s global infrastructure.

Backed by Cyberport’s incubation programme, BRDGX has expanded across the region, with Malaysia a key market.

Fintech and regtech start-up BlueOnion partnered with ESG Malaysia to focus on ESG capacity building, policy engagement, and pilot projects promoting sustainable business practices.

BlueOnion’s platform supports sustainability data tracking, greenwashing detection, and compliance automation.

Cyberport also hosted a side event on 4 August, supported by the Fintech Association of Malaysia (FAOM), Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation (MDEC), Invest Hong Kong (InvestHK), and the Securities Commission Malaysia.

The programme included start-up pitches, pilot launches, MoU signings, and panel discussions on bridging traditional and digital finance, and financial inclusion for an ageing population.

Cyberport representatives participated in investor meetings on 6 August with Gobi Partners, The Hive, HeliCap, Artem Ventures, and Vynn Capital.

To date, more than 80 Cyberport-affiliated companies have entered Malaysia and other ASEAN markets, including Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand, the Philippines, and Vietnam.

Cyberport has also signed cooperation agreements with institutions across ASEAN, South Korea, Japan, and the Middle East.

Home to over 440 fintech companies, Cyberport is Hong Kong’s largest fintech cluster, covering virtual assets, digital banking, e-payments, wealthtech, and insurtech.

It aims to support its companies in expanding into both the ASEAN region and Mainland China, while also attracting global talent and firms to Hong Kong to strengthen its position as a regional fintech hub.
