10XValley Launches IPO-Ready Platform and Gamification Hackathon

Malaysia marked a new milestone in business innovation with the launch of the Gamification Hackathon, organized by 10XValley — the country's first IPO-Ready platform.

Designed to foster innovation and boost local businesses' competitiveness on the global stage, the event focuses on integrating gamification into daily operations, seen as a key step toward digital transformation.

In the fast-evolving digital economy, becoming IPO-ready has become a benchmark for business success. 10XValley, founded by Joescher Chee and led by CEO Steve Chow, serves as a unique platform to help local businesses achieve IPO status more efficiently.

"Gamification Hackathon is not just another workshop; it’s a paradigm-shifting experience. Through an intensive, one-day focus, teams can solve persistent issues, identify new opportunities, and achieve rapid business growth”, said Chee and Chow."

The hackathon emphasizes innovation beyond problem-solving, offering participants an immersive experience to reignite their business momentum. The day-long event aims to break conventional thinking patterns and unlock breakthroughs that have eluded companies for years.

What sets 10XValley apart is its focus on gamification as a driver of innovation. This element, central to the hackathon, encourages companies to explore new ways of engaging employees, boosting productivity, and accelerating growth.

“Gamification is the future. Companies that don't adopt this strategy will fall behind. We are helping businesses not only prepare for IPOs but also remain competitive on the global stage,” the organizers emphasized.

The event highlights how strategic gamification, which introduces game elements into business environments, can enhance employee motivation, creativity, and engagement. Through workshops and competitions, participants will learn practical ways to apply gamification within their organizations.

Key Program Highlights:

• Foundations of Gamification and Strategy Development: Participants will explore how to align gamification concepts with real business needs to craft long-term growth strategies.
• Gamification Implementation Workshop: Practical sessions to help businesses integrate gamification strategies effectively into daily operations.
• Gamification Competition: Teams will apply gamification tools to real-world business scenarios, fostering healthy competition and innovative solutions.

By the end of the hackathon, businesses will learn not only how to boost internal innovation but also how to increase employee satisfaction and retention.

The event also featured notable speakers like Chiau Haw Choon, co-founder of 10XValley, and Jeremy Ong, a mentor within the platform. Both play crucial roles in elevating 10XValley’s vision to new heights.

With more than 200 CEOs and senior managers confirmed to participate, the hackathon offers a platform for sharing strategies on leveraging gamification to drive innovation and enhance business competitiveness.

Reports show that many global companies have embraced gamification to attract customers and engage employees. 10XValley hopes to inspire Malaysian businesses to follow suit, positioning the country as a leader in business innovation across the region.

This hackathon is more than just a business competition—it represents a redefinition of future workplace culture. As the world moves beyond the survival-focused and work-centric eras of previous generations, it embraces the "Era of Innovation," driven by gamification.

“This new era transforms work into more than just task completion. It becomes a creative, meaningful, and enjoyable experience,” said Chee.

The Gamification Hackathon will provide a collaborative space for companies to explore strategies that motivate employees, attract customers, and optimize business models—ensuring they maintain an edge in an increasingly competitive global market. Participants will also gain insights into building agile and efficient workplace cultures.
