Q&A with Pax Ola, CEO of CAYPAX SEZC.
Q: How has your personal and professional journey shaped the work you're doing today?
A: My journey started in Canada, where I graduated from university and began working in technology. Over the past 20 years, I’ve been deeply involved in digital transformation and technology consulting, which gave me a strong foundation for solving complex business challenges. That path naturally evolved into launching CAYPAX to drive innovation in emerging areas like Web3, AI, and decentralized systems.
Q: What inspired the founding of CAYPAX, and what problem are you solving in the tech space?
A: CAYPAX was created to bridge the gap between traditional businesses and emerging technologies. Having worked across industries like fintech, banking, and insurance, I saw firsthand how much support traditional enterprises need to adapt to new tech. We focus on building digital infrastructure through software development, advisory services, investments, and Web3 integration — helping companies transition into the future.
Q: Are there any new technologies or trends your team is particularly excited to be exploring right now?
A: Absolutely. We’re currently working on decentralized identity solutions, AI-powered workflows, and blockchain-based procurement tools. The convergence of AI and Web3 is especially exciting — it opens up new possibilities for how systems operate, and we’re seeing growing interest within the CEC community as well.
Q: What has your journey been like so far? Any key milestones, challenges, or lessons learned?
A: Operating in such a fast-moving tech space has taught us a lot about adaptability and the value of strategic partnerships. Some key milestones for us include securing early traction with enterprise clients and exploring blockchain-native applications that deliver real-world utility.

A: Many assume it’s all sunshine and limited infrastructure, but that’s not the reality. There’s a growing, well-connected tech ecosystem here with serious global potential.
Q: Have you experienced any unique benefits from being part of the Special Economic Zone?
A: Definitely. The SEZ framework simplifies company setup, IP protection, and operations. It allows us to focus more on what really matters — innovating and growing. It’s a real strategic advantage for entrepreneurs in the tech space.
