TEIZA provided the sovereign digital infrastructure behind the inaugural UDECO Kuala Lumpur Conclave on 28 July 2026, and used the occasion to expand the Malaysia Digital Consortium into new territory.
United Digital Economies (UDECO) is a neutral, non-profit movement convening blockchain associations, fintech bodies, policymakers and infrastructure providers around ASEAN's digital economy. The inaugural conclave was hosted by ACCESS Blockchain Association Malaysia, a founding member, at TEIZA's Kuala Lumpur headquarters.
Three new strategic agreements
At the event, TEIZA signed strategic agreements with three organisations:
- Morpheus, a decentralised AI compute network
- Sole AI, developer of agentic money operations for merchants
- Ingots, a Malaysia-based dual-asset trading platform
Together, these partnerships extend the Consortium beyond its existing work with government agencies and financial institutions, into AI infrastructure, venture development, and retail-focused digital asset solutions.
“UDECO's core philosophy is built on collaboration, co-ownership and shared governance, a shared technology infrastructure designed to create tangible value for every stakeholder in the ecosystem.”
A wider regional moment
This work sits within a broader regional moment. Following Malaysia's 2025 ASEAN Chairmanship, the ASEAN Digital Economy Framework Agreement (DEFA) was substantially concluded in May 2026, with signing expected at the 49th ASEAN Summit this November. TEIZA's infrastructure is built to support exactly this kind of cross-border digital economy implementation.
Alongside the signings, the conclave ran expert panels on the policy and institutional adoption of Web3 in ASEAN and on cross-border payment rails for stablecoins, a multi-stakeholder format bringing regulators, industry and civil society into the same room.
We welcome governments, institutions and industry bodies to explore how they can participate in the growing ecosystem.
