We are thrilled to share some exciting news with you! NerOcean is expanding our network to Southeast Asia, and we owe a big thanks to the CityU HK Tech 300 team for organizing an incredible 4-day event in Kuala Lumpur. During this event, we had the chance to attend a variety of engaging activities, including a lunch with the Malaysia-Guangdong Chamber of Investment Promotion (MGCIP), the Launching Ceremony for the HK Tech 300 SEA Competition, a Gala Dinner with our President, the Keynote lecture given by our President and visits to UMXcelerate (UMX, Universiti Malaya) and Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation (MDEC). This is a great opportunity for us not only to extend our network in Malaysia, but also learn more about other teams from HK Tech 300 ecosystem.

We are happy to learn more about other teams from HK Tech 300 ecosystem.

Day 1 – Meeting the Malaysia-Guangdong Chamber of Investment Promotion (MGCIP)

We had the pleasure of meeting with the MGCIP, which is a chamber accelerating the business corporation between Malaysia and China. We enjoyed a traditional Fujian-style lunch with MGCIP members, who were friendly and enthusiastic, and provided us with valuable feedback.
