KUALA LUMPUR: Khazanah Nasional, through Dana Impak, is supporting over 100 Malaysian mid-tier companies (MTCs) through a dual-track approach involving capacity development and growth capital via private credit and equity.
The aim is to strengthen capabilities, expand capital access, and drive innovation-led growth as MTCs navigate a fast-changing economic landscape.
“Through Dana Impak, we act as both catalyst and connector – identifying gaps in the ecosystem, deploying patient capital where markets underserve, investing in talent and helping to crowd in private investors, requiring a whole-of-nation approach to foster innovation and fuel long-term growth,” Khazanah managing director Datuk Amirul Feisal Wan Zahir said in a statement.
“Our focus on levelling up Malaysian MTCs represent our Advancing Malaysia strategy to enhance Malaysia’s economic competitiveness and resilience. We are pleased to welcome our partners on this journey to unlock the full potential of Malaysian MTCs,” he added.
Meanwhile, Securities Commission (SC) executive chairman Datuk Mohammad Faiz Azmi said MTCs in Malaysia act as a crucial growth engine by enhancing industrial output, creating jobs, fostering innovation and contributing a significant 36% to national gross domestic product (GDP).
“Through our 5 Year MSME & MTC Roadmap (2024–2028) the SC plays a central role in supporting MTCs in Malaysia by enhancing their access to funding, market-readiness, and strategic growth opportunities via the capital markets.
“We commend Khazanah’s efforts and support of the SC’s long-term goal to ensure a more inclusive and holistic capital market fundraising ecosystem,” Mohammad Faiz said.
Khazanah’s private credit strategy under Dana Impak aims to accelerate the growth of Malaysian MTCs through non-dilutive financing.
To support this, Khazanah is partnering with Navis Capital Partners and Granite Asia to offer tailored credit solutions for MTC growth and expansion.
Under its private equity strategy, Khazanah aims to help Malaysian MTCs scale, expand regionally, and strengthen operations by partnering with experienced fund managers.
To drive this effort, Khazanah is partnering with Creador, a Malaysian PE firm with a strong regional presence and track record in supporting growth-stage companies.
Khazanah invites Malaysian MTCs to apply for the next MGIP cohort starting in Q3 2025. Eligible companies shall be Malaysian-owned, privately held, with annual revenue between RM20mil/RM50mil and RM500mil (services/manufacturing), a profitable track record, and a strong innovation mindset.
