Communication 21 Media Group Delivers Breakthrough AI Experience at OCTF 2025 Kuala Lumpur
Launch of FREE Advertisement Onboarding & AI Business Matching Programme Draws Strong Response
Kuala Lumpur, 28 June 2025 – Communication 21 Media Group, the Official Media Partner of the OCTF (Overseas Chinese Trade Fair) 2025, made a powerful impression at this year’s exhibition held at MITEC, Kuala Lumpur. Under the ASEAN-Connect Initiative (东盟互联互通倡议), the Group officially launched its FREE Advertisement Onboarding Programme – introducing a seamless platform for companies to claim digital visibility while receiving instant business intelligence reports powered by AI.
The highlight of the event was the live demonstration of Industry Connect.AI, the Group’s proprietary AI-powered business matching engine. Exhibitors and visitors were taken by surprise as the system generated detailed reports identifying their potential suppliers, partners, and customers, simply by submitting their company details.
“Everyone was shocked these powerful insights were offered completely free of charge,” said many exhibitors and visitors. “We’ve never seen AI business matching this fast, this localized, and this accurate.”
🤝 Empowering Cross-Border Collaboration with Real-Time Market Data
As OCTF welcomed numerous Chinese enterprises showcasing intelligent technologies, Communication 21 Media Group deployed its AI engine to analyze 1.3 million industrial and commercial data points across Malaysia, instantly providing tailored market access reports to Chinese exhibitors interested in exploring ASEAN opportunities.
The result: meaningful engagement, data-backed conversations, and new partnerships forming on the spot. Many Chinese participants remarked that this level of insight and value made their OCTF involvement truly worthwhile.
A Note from Dr. (h.c.) Benny Yeo Founder, Communication 21 Media Group Executive Chairman (ASEAN), Global Confederation of Belt and Road Economic Cooperation
“This OCTF participation reflects the mission of the ASEAN-Connect Initiative — to unite ASEAN’s industrial and commercial sectors and elevate them through structured collaboration and digital innovation. Simultaneously, our China-To-ASEAN Initiative（中国至东盟倡议） offers Chinese enterprises a direct and intelligent pathway into ASEAN markets. Together, these initiatives form the new digital backbone of regional economic integration — smart, connected, and inclusive.”
A Note from Mr. Wilson Tay Chief Executive Officer, Communication 21 Media Group Creator of Industry Connect.AI
“Our goal was simple — to remove the barriers between data and opportunity. What we showcased at OCTF was a real-time, no-cost way for businesses to access intelligence that would typically take months and massive resources to compile. With Industry Connect.AI, powered by Catalog Connect, we’re helping SMEs and global players alike discover opportunities in real-time — without needing to search. The platform does the matching, the analysis, and the reporting — instantly.”
