• APU opens a lab for students to learn the blockchain programming language
• ReGov will provide use cases for successful students to work on

ReGov Technologies Sdn Bhd (ReGov) and the Asia Pacific University of Technology and Innovation (APU) have signed a MoU to develop Web3 talent in Malaysia through the newly established Financial Trade Center (FTC) at the FinTech Academy of APU.

This agreement establishes what is being called the first of its kind APU-myBID Web3 innovation lab. He is specialized exclusively in Web3 training through experiential learning.

“Web3 developers are in high demand, but only 1% of programmers have the necessary skills,” said ReGov co-founder and CEO Paul Khoo, explaining that the deal and collaboration will help APU students to acquire the necessary skills in the real world. expertise and specialized training to bridge the gap.

ReGov is a Malaysian financial technology company specializing in enterprise, blockchain, identity management, electronic knowledge of your customer (e-KYC), and conversational artificial intelligence (AI).

“We are currently preparing to be one of the first engines in Malaysia to respond to the global need for Web3 talent, as well as the first private university in the country to offer courses on decentralization, blockchain technologies and other relevant topics, with the ultimate goal of becoming a regional hub for Web3 training centers in Malaysia and Southeast Asia,” said Dr. Vinesh Thiruchelvam, CEO of APU Innovation & Enterprise.

about the laboratory

APU-myBID Web3 Innovation Lab is open to APU students from all schools and will be managed by APU with support from ReGov.

The lab will focus on training students in blockchain programming languages, specifically the Transaction Execution Approval Language (TEAL) for the Algorand and Solana runtime environment, which is based on eBPF and enables programming languages. Rust, C and C++ programming.

After completing their training and hands-on assessments, students will be able to work on My Blockchain ID (myBID) use cases under the supervision of ReGov experts. They can select from a wide range of use cases based on their interests, allowing them to gain real-world Web3 insights.

ReGov, through its subsidiary RGX Capital, owns myBID, a Web3-based identity management platform.

Students who complete the program will receive a joint certification from APU and ReGov and both parties claim that students will be able to enter the workforce with a healthy mix of hard skills and professional experience, increasing their employability in the Web3 industry.
