Malaysia Rice Bowl Startup Awards Fetes Nation's Best

Young start-ups honoured by Foundation.

How to thrive in the age of constant digital disruption? How can young start-ups forge their own path? Answers to these questions and more were found at the much-anticipated Malaysia Rice Bowl Startup Awards 2018 that was held at the Oasis Discovery Centre in Ara Damansara, Selangor.

Organised by the New Entrepreneurs Foundation Malaysia (myNEF) and now into its fourth year, the Malaysia Rice Bowl Startup Awards is the platform for recognising young start-ups disrupting old processes and industries.

A brainchild of myNEF, the awards recognise breakout start-ups in the country that harness digital technology and celebrate rising tech entrepreneurs in various categories of excellence ranging from retail, media, digital, tech, products, services and innovative campaigns to women and social enterprises.

myNEF believes businesses can grow fast and be sustainable when they harness technology and knowledge.

It plays a significant role in bridging industry players and the government, working closely with various agencies and government-related organisations to support existing and upcoming entrepreneur development programmes.

The Rice Bowl Award is beneficial to both the Malaysian start-up and ASEAN start-up ecosystems as it connects and empowers the ASEAN Economic Community to power up their local economies with start-ups and scaleups.
