Malaysia is set to solidify its position as a digital gaming powerhouse in Southeast Asia, following a landmark strategic partnership between the Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation (MDEC) and EMERGE Group, a Martech Web3 firm and commercialization partner.
The partnership, which was formalised during the IOV2055 Symposium – Malaysian Chapter, aims to accelerate the growth and development of Web3 games in Malaysia, positioning the country at the forefront of Web3 gaming within the Asean region.
EMERGE Group will leverage its extensive network of Web3 gaming partnerships, including collaborations with Gala Games, Immutable X, TZ APAC, Sei and other leading Web3 gaming projects, to identify synergies and advance Web3 game publishing, according to a statement on Friday.
This strategic effort aims to position Malaysia as a key player in the region’s digital gaming transformation. This coincides with EMERGE Group’s initiative to support neighbouring Web3 communities in changing the greater community’s perspective of Web3 projects within the SEA region.
The Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) exchange took place at Grand Hyatt Kuala Lumpur on Thursday (Oct 3) as part of the IOV2055 Symposium, a tech conference focused on bridging the gap between Web2 and Web3 ecosystems.
This collaboration marks a pivotal milestone in Malaysia’s journey towards becoming a global hub for immersive Web3 gaming and digital creativity.
