Malaysia to empower start-ups and drive innovative solutions


CYBERJAYA: Malaysia aims to empower start-ups, facilitate collaboration and drive the commercialisation of innovative solutions through initiatives such as the Malaysia Startup Ecosystem Roadmap 2021-2030 and the MyStartup platform.

Science, Technology and Innovation Minister Chang Lih Kang said the ministry remains steadfast in its commitment to create an environment that nurtures innovation and entrepreneurship.

The initiatives of the Cyberview Living Lab Accelerator (CLLA) – one of the earliest accelerator programmes in Malaysia – exemplify this vision by bridging the gap between innovation and impact across various value chains.
