A Major Kickoff in Kuala Lumpur - The Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation (MDEC) has officially launched two flagship events — the Malaysia Digital Xceleration (MDX Summit 2025) and SmartGov Malaysia 2025. Taking place from 17 to 19 September at KLCC, these events are designed to gather top leaders, policymakers, innovators, and digital professionals under one roof for three days of collaboration, discussion, and exploration.
This year's launch was officiated by Gobind Singh Deo, Minister of Digital, marking the third year of the MDX Summit. With momentum building each year, the 2025 edition promises to be the most impactful yet.
Who Will Be There?
MDEC expects over 5,000 participants to join the summit. The attendee list spans across entrepreneurs, investors, corporate leaders, trade associations, and digital professionals. More than just a networking event, MDX 2025 has positioned itself as a hub for cross-border collaborations, strategic investments, and digital innovation.
Participants can look forward to immersive exhibitions, high-level conferences, policy roundtables, and exclusive networking sessions. The emphasis is not just on exchanging ideas but also on forming partnerships that can translate into real-world solutions.
Spotlight on SmartGov Malaysia 2025
Running alongside the summit for the very first time is SmartGov Malaysia 2025, developed in collaboration with the National Digital Department (JDN). This event highlights the government's journey in digital transformation, aiming to modernize public services and improve efficiency for citizens.
SmartGov focuses on AI-powered services, digital permits, and smart city planning — all initiatives that showcase how digital adoption can cut bureaucracy, enhance public trust, and deliver faster results to the rakyat. It serves as a demonstration of how Malaysia is embedding innovation into governance.
Driving Malaysia's Digital Ambitions
Both MDX and SmartGov share a common goal: positioning Malaysia as a regional leader in the digital economy. By leveraging the nationwide 5G network and the broader Malaysia Digital (MD) ecosystem, the events emphasize inclusivity, resilience, and sustainability as the foundation of Malaysia's digital future.
This aligns closely with the government's ambition to build a future-ready economy, where technology not only drives business but also strengthens public services.
Why This Event Matters
The MDX Summit 2025 and SmartGov Malaysia 2025 are more than just conferences; they represent Malaysia's evolving digital landscape. The events highlight how AI, 5G, and digital ecosystems are becoming central to both economic growth and governance.
For business leaders, it's a chance to explore investment opportunities. For policymakers, it's about learning how to craft better digital policies. For innovators, it's the perfect stage to showcase groundbreaking solutions.
Want to Attend?
If you're in Kuala Lumpur, you can head over to KLCC, where the events will be held across multiple halls until 19 September. As with most tech conferences in 2025, expect artificial intelligence to take center stage.
