WELCOME TO AHIBS-ACT 2026!

AHIBS-ACT 2026 is an international action-centric conference championing digitalisation-led research, particularly in FinTech and Blockchain that drives sustainable business transformation and real-world impact.

The 4th AHIBS International Action Research Conference (AHIBS-ACT 2026), organised by Azman Hashim International Business School, serves as a global platform for scholars, industry practitioners and policymakers to share research that translates into meaningful action and measurable outcomes. The conference highlights research that moves beyond theoretical contributions by emphasising practical interventions, industry engagement and solutions addressing contemporary challenges in the digital economy.

Guided by the theme “Action-Centric Research for Digital and Sustainable Futures”, AHIBS-ACT 2026 reflects a broader yet coherent scholarly positioning that prioritises research leading to action, intervention and measurable impact. While action research remains a core and highly valued methodology of the conference, the action-centric framing allows AHIBS-ACT to inclusively accommodate applied, practice-based and industry-embedded research.
