A wide range of individuals participated from varied backgrounds, from investment, to economics, to media, to political figures, to think tank heads (Siegfried Wolf), to some of the most key people within the modern day Myanmar reform and growth story of the country (Min Zaw Oo).

Furthermore, aside from just making progress on the technological and financial side of things, participants came away with a deeper understanding of the political situation in Myanmar as well. Speakers and participants alike exchanged ideas for solutions in which to set Myanmar on a more secure and prosperous path for its future.

A road building project in the Western Myanmar state of Chin was discussed, and participants learned how to invest into the Relex Capital platform to help build this road project initiative from the Community Agency for Rural Development, one of the sponsors of the event.

U Nay Aung, Ravindra Jain, and Alexei D. Voskressenski discuss opportunities for collaboration using digital economic transformations such as blockchain and other fintech solutions during the Feb. 9 conference hosted by Relex Development and the Community Agency for Rural Development.

Participants also learned about the India-Myanmar-Thailand highway, the developmental opportunities and challenges facing this megaproject, and the ways that participants and speakers could engage with Relex on projects along this corridor. Along this corridor, Burmese projects that Relex was working on involved a university and the Myanmar road building project in the Chin state.

The Indian government estimates an extra $200 billion USD of economic activity annually transacted via this new economic corridor, one of which stretches from India to Myanmar, and then all the way to Vietnam, according to Hriday Sarma, Relex’s Chief Business Strategist who also spoke at the conference.

Relex spoke about the possibility of engaging with Moscow State Institute of International Relations (MGIMO) and the RMIT University Vietnam (Ho Chi Minh City) in the foreseeable future at their respective university campuses. MGIMO released its own press coverage statement about the academic conference in Russian.

The day after the event concluded, the Relex team unveiled two new projects from Myanmar onto the www.relexcapital.com platform, namely Carlton East and Grumman Holdings.

Carlton East is a real estate project from Zayar Properties, and it is currently open for funding on the Relex platform. Over 10 million RLX have been raised so far, including 5 million RLX from Relex CEO Keith Hilden. The project sits on the bank of Yangon’s Bago River, and enjoys support from the local Department of Urban Housing and Development (DUHD).
