Hong Kong’s digital technology hub, Cyberport, led a delegation of FinTech start-ups to MyFintech Week 2025 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia from August 4-7. The event saw multiple partnership agreements signed, boosting cross-border innovation and strengthening Hong Kong-ASEAN ties in financial technology.
The conference, themed “Ideate, Innovate, Co-create: Shaping the Future of Finance,” focused on regional collaboration and financial innovation. Cyberport organized several side events, including a start-up pitch session and panel discussions to foster exchanges between Hong Kong and local FinTech ecosystems.
Five cross-border partnerships were formalized during the event. One notable agreement launched a digital insurance program with potential reach to over 100 million users, highlighting Hong Kong’s role in advancing regional FinTech collaboration.
Cyberport Chairman Simon Chan emphasized Malaysia’s rapid FinTech growth and the opportunities it presents for Hong Kong’s tech firms. He stated, “By leading our start-ups to MyFW 2025, we aim to deepen I&T exchange between Hong Kong and ASEAN, further strengthening Hong Kong’s position as a regional digital economy and FinTech hub.”
Several Cyberport start-ups signed significant agreements:
- Coded Solution partnered with VSure Tech to launch “Flexi Benefits,” integrating traditional insurance with blockchain technology.
- Coded Solution and AsiaPay Malaysia agreed to introduce the Green Assets Reward Program, a tokenized carbon credit solution, to the Malaysian market.

Cyberport hosted exclusive side events, including panel discussions on bridging traditional and digital finance, and financial resilience for aging societies. The hub also facilitated investor meetings between Hong Kong FinTech start-ups and Malaysian investment institutions.
With over 80 Cyberport companies already operating in the ASEAN market, the hub continues to expand its overseas network. It has signed cooperation agreements with innovation institutions from countries including Malaysia, Thailand, South Korea, Japan, and the Middle East.
