Unveiled through a strategic collaboration between NEXEA and MyInnovationX, the platform signalled a shift from fragmented innovation efforts towards structured, outcome-driven deployment across industries. The summit brought together more than 300 leaders from corporates, startups, investors, and ecosystem partners, reinforcing a clear market shift from innovation as discussion to innovation as execution.
Closing the gap between innovation and execution
While corporates are increasingly innovation-ready, execution remains the biggest bottleneck. Sourcing, evaluating, and deploying the right solutions can traditionally take between three and six months, often slowing down business impact.
MyInnovationX addresses this challenge by reducing this cycle to as little as one to two months, enabling organisations to move faster from problem identification to pilot and deployment. The platform connects users to a growing database of more than 8,000 technology solution providers across ASEAN, allowing faster, more precise matching of real business challenges with relevant solutions.
Built as an AI-native innovation platform
At its core, MyInnovationX embeds AI across the innovation lifecycle, enabling smarter and faster decision-making through features including AI Scoring for challenge statements and proposal evaluation, an AI discovery engine, scouting services for curated solution matching, a digital sandbox, and multi-tenant innovation portals for conglomerates, GLCs, and ecosystem programmes.
Alongside the launch, MyInnovationX also announced strategic partnerships with The Entrepreneur Journal Podcast (TEJ), Exabytes Group and Systech Digital Solutions to strengthen innovation deployment capabilities. These partnerships aim to accelerate digital adoption, expand market access for technology companies, drive investment flows, and scale innovation across ASEAN.
“As organisations move from being ‘born digital’ to ‘born AI’, the ability to accelerate discovery, collaboration, and deployment at scale will be critical to staying competitive,” said Deputy Minister of Digital Datuk Wilson Ugak, highlighting the broader shift in the innovation landscape.
“Today, innovation is everywhere, but outcomes are not. At MDEC, our focus is on bridging that gap by working with corporates and ecosystem partners to move from problem statements to real-world deployment and commercialisation,” said the CEO of Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation, Anuar Fariz Fadzil.
Eng Guo Miao, CEO of MyInnovationX, added that too many initiatives remain at the pilot stage without reaching deployment. MyInnovationX is built to close that gap by helping organisations move from problem to solution faster, with the right partners and real outcomes. This is about making innovation measurable, scalable, and impactful.
Following its launch, MyInnovationX opened to corporates and innovators across ASEAN, allowing enterprises to begin submitting challenge statements, discovering solutions, and participating in pilot opportunities through the platform.
