Supporting Startups Beyond Acceleration
Since 2015, Sidec has worked with more than 447 startups and SMEs, giving the organisation first-hand insight into the challenges businesses face as they grow and scale.
The impact of its accelerator programmes can also be seen among past alumni.
IGL Coatings, for example, secured new distributors in Bahrain and Bangladesh and launched a Petronas Graphene Advanced Technology in Las Vegas.
Meanwhile, Eartheories founder Fadz Subari was named one of the Top 10 CEOs in Malaysia for retail and e-commerce by CEO Insight Asia 2025.
These outcomes reflect Sidec’s broader focus on supporting businesses beyond their participation in an accelerator programme.
