OC Global Technology Receives Two Recognitions at Malaysia Digital Economy Forum 10.0 in Sabah

OC Global Technology Sdn. Bhd. received two recognitions from the Malaysia Digital Chamber of Commerce at the 10th Malaysia Digital Economy Forum, held in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah.

A Closed-Door Pre-Forum Session in Kota Kinabalu

The trip began a day earlier with the Pre-Forum Session of the Malaysia Digital Economy Forum 2026 — a closed-door, invitation-only dialogue held on 10 August 2026 at the KPSTI Digital & IoT Sandbox, Level 12, Wisma Bandaraya, Kota Kinabalu.

The session was a dialogue with international keynote speaker Anthony KC Leung from Hong Kong SAR, organised by MDCC with support from KPSTI and Sabah Net (SNAT).

Malaysia Digital Economy Forum 10.0 at ITCC Sabah

The main forum followed on 11 August 2026 at ITCC Sabah, bringing together government representatives, industry leaders and technology companies from across Malaysia and the region.

The day opened with registration and a networking lunch, where our team sat with delegates from across the Sabah business and technology community before the programme began.

The programme ran across five panels covering blue economy and digital transformation, artificial intelligence and emerging technologies, cybersecurity and digital resilience, digital tourism and smart destinations, and the new digital visitor economy.

Speaking on Cybersecurity and Digital Resilience

OC Global Technology was represented on Panel 3 — Cybersecurity and Digital Resilience, moderated by Ron Chong. The panel addressed securing Malaysia's digital economy, with a focus on cyber resilience for government, SMEs and critical services.

Our Chief Innovation Officer, Mohamad Fazuan Bin Mohd Wafat, joined fellow panellists from government and industry to discuss the practical realities of building resilient systems for organisations that do not operate on enterprise-scale security budgets.

We see both recognitions as an endorsement of the direction our team has taken across software development, AI-driven systems and digital platform engineering — and as a responsibility to keep raising that standard.

The booth gave us a direct channel to walk visitors through what we build — custom software development, AI-driven systems and digital platforms — and to hear first-hand which problems businesses in East Malaysia are trying to solve.

Thank You to MDCC and the Sabah Digital Community

OC Global Technology Sdn. Bhd. would like to thank the Malaysia Digital Chamber of Commerce, the MDCC Sabah Chapter, KPSTI, Sabah Net and the organising team for hosting a forum of this scale, and for the recognitions extended to our company.

MDEF2026 reinforced something we already believed: Malaysia's digital economy will not be built from one city alone. We look forward to continuing our work with partners in Sabah and across the region.
