With just one day to go before ARCHIDEX 2025 wraps up, the AREC Business Matching platform, facilitated by MATRADE, continues to spark dynamic collaborations, proving to be a cornerstone of international engagement at this year’s event.

In an increasingly connected world, building relationships across borders has evolved beyond strategic advantage to become a business necessity. The AREC Business Matching sessions are rapidly emerging as a space that eliminates barriers, cutting through red tape, and reinforcing the groundwork for meaningful partnerships to take root.

For Datuk Ar Ezumi Harzani Ismail, Chairman of Arkitek MAA, the sessions have been a window into wider industry networks. “It’s allowed me to connect with more people, understand the business landscape better, and explore new opportunities for expansion beyond Malaysia.”

The platform’s strength lies in its precision. Abdullah, Director of AI Transonic Millenium Intergroup LLC Qatar, lauded MATRADE’s curated approach. “With the companies already vetted, I can focus on serious prospects without wasting time. It’s streamlined and effective.”

It’s not just Malaysians venturing out, international companies are also looking inward, using this platform as a bridge to enter Malaysia’s vibrant market. Dita Tazri Rianti, Chief Product Officer of Abangrumah (Indonesia), shared: “We’re seeking collaborations here, and the sessions have made it incredibly efficient to find aligned partners.”

Echoing this, Afifah Iyad Zamir of PT Ekano Konstruksi said, “This is my first time at the event, and already I’ve had valuable discussions that wouldn’t have happened otherwise. It’s a game-changer for anyone looking to expand.”

As ARCHIDEX draws to a close, the energy around AREC Business Matching continues to surge. With each handshake, a new possibility takes shape, and tomorrow’s partnerships are already being built today.
