KUALA LUMPUR: Finexus Group is investing RM10 million in the next five years building a sustainable fintech ecosystem in Penang in the Creative Digital District @ George Town (CD2@George Town) in support of Penang’s Digital Transformation Masterplan 1.0.
Finexus group managing director and chief executive officer Clement Loh said it was looking forward to work with venture capitalists (VCs), fintechs, digital start-ups and mid-growth companies by providing them with its ready-to-use MyXaaS Collaboration Platform.
