Kuala Lumpur-based event management technology provider Evenesis has completed a merger with Txtsy, a startup business that offers tech-enabled event registration processes and mobile event apps, also based in Malaysia.

Following the merger, the companies aim to offer enhanced business solutions for companies in the region, ranging from internal conferences to large-scale trade shows.

Evenesis, which offers a suite of 12 digital products and services, will also expand its presence in the region on the back of the acquisition. Evenesis is also looking to enhance event experiences by integrating machine learning and extended reality (XR) components, including integrations with the metaverse.

“This acquisition fills a gap in the MICE or business events industry – allowing us to enhance our virtual, hybrid, and physical event offerings through a combination of Txtsy’s strength in trade shows and Evenesis’ strength in online and offline conferences,” said Ts Yusno Yunos, CEO and founder of Evenesis. “By merging our technology, we’re able to offer events businesses the help needed to deliver quality experiences and products efficiently and sustainably.”

Following the merger, SY Chan, the founder of Txtsy, is joining Evenesis as business development director, with a remit to expand the business regionally. Txsty has served some of the biggest exhibitions and industry leaders in the region such as the Malaysian International Furniture Fair.
