IBO Malaysia is committed to creating a collaborative platform that connects innovators, regulators, and enterprises to unlock blockchain’s full potential across industries,” said Rolv Reissiger, chief business development officer of IBO Malaysia.
IBO Malaysia will focus on four key pillars:

The establishment of IBO Malaysia comes as the nation accelerates its digital transformation agenda. With blockchain set to redefine trust and value exchange, the organisation aims to support the government’s vision of a robust, inclusive, and innovation-driven digital economy.
“The future of blockchain is borderless – and so is our mission. Through partnerships, education, and innovation, we aim to make Malaysia a trusted node in the global blockchain ecosystem,” Reissiger added.
