Malaysia’s Leading One-Day Platform for Entrepreneurs
Entrepreneurs Summit VI returns on 2 October 2025 in Kuala Lumpur. The event has become the country’s leading one-day platform for entrepreneurs, corporates, investors, and policymakers. This year, it will highlight founder journeys, practical growth strategies, and networking designed to turn insights into action.
A Diverse Programme of Panels and Keynotes
The summit is supported by media partner The Rakyat Post and community partner Next Up Asia. Its programme features keynote sessions and interactive panels covering a wide range of topics. Discussions will include founder journeys to global scale, a Solarvest case study, and the hidden truths of entrepreneurship. Furthermore, experts will share data-driven insights on failure versus growth, explore innovation versus execution, and highlight corporate co-founding models. Panels will also examine government partnerships and 2025 investor trends in biotech, fintech, and digital commerce.
Influential Leaders and Speakers
The lineup includes Datuk Ruben Emir Gnanalingam (Executive Chairman, Westports Holdings), Kent Chua (CEO, RCX Group), Chan Kok Long (Co-Founder of iPay88 & Group CEO of Carehaus Sdn Bhd), Arieff Aaron Abdullah (Director, Invest Selangor Berhad) and Ben Lim (CEO & Founder, NEXEA). These leaders will share practical strategies and real-life lessons to help entrepreneurs scale their businesses.
Building a Stronger Entrepreneurial Ecosystem
“Too often we hear founders complain about the ecosystem — funding, policy, competition. The truth is, Malaysia already has the talent, capital, and ideas. What matters now is whether founders stop making excuses and start making moves. Entrepreneurs Summit VI gives you the tools, but what you build with it is on you,” said Kent Chua, CEO of RCX Group.
According to Chan Kok Long of iPay88, the summit is a hub for collaboration: “This is where collaborations are born and future industries are shaped. We believe that Malaysia has all the ingredients to produce world-class entrepreneurs, and gatherings like this are what give founders the momentum, resources, and confidence to turn big ideas into global businesses.”
Ben Lim of NEXEA emphasised the outcomes-driven nature of the summit: “The panels deliver practical insights from leaders who’ve scaled businesses, and the networking is engineered to produce measurable outcomes, pilot conversations, advisory relationships or investor follow-ups. This year we expect over 1,000 leaders, and participating organisations represent up to RM10 billion in combined revenues, significantly increasing the chance of real commercial partnerships.”
A Catalyst for Growth and Collaboration
Entrepreneurs Summit VI positions itself as more than a conference. It serves as a catalyst for growth, innovation, and collaboration, reinforcing Malaysia’s role as a regional hub for entrepreneurship.
