Venture Building

In Vietnam, tech incubators and accelerators are gaining traction, providing crucial support to startups by offering mentorship, funding, and networking opportunities that drive innovation and economic growth in the burgeoning tech ecosystem.

This year, the Sunway iLabs–JETRO Green Transformation Accelerator (GXA) Program focuses on sustainability. The program provides startups an engaging platform to be immersed in the Malaysian business ecosystem, collaborating with Sunway Group and its business partners.

Here, we explore some of the top co-working spaces in Malaysia that are shaping the future of work and supporting the growth of startups.

In the interview, Touchstone Partners ex-Venture Partner Bobby Liu shared the opportunities and challenges, the funding environment, emerging trends in the tech ecosystem in Vietnam, among others.

The new program will be a comprehensive incubator program designed to bridge the gap between scientific research and market application. It will support startup teams by helping them refine their initial ideas, validate market needs, and design robust business models through a structured program framework.

The combined funding will be instrumental in fostering the growth of Malaysian startups, particularly in line with Malaysia’s KL20 initiatives, and reinforcing our country’s position as a key player in the Southeast Asian startup ecosystem.
