The Malaysian Technology Development Corporation (MTDC), one of the first venture capital firms in Malaysia, which used to focus on SMEs has now shifted its attention towards the Intelligent Age and 4th Industrial revolution. As a government-affiliated entity, the MTDC plays a crucial role in the fostering public-private collaboration towards developments in innovation. What the Philippines can learn from MTDC's role in the Malaysian startup ecosystem are: 1. MTDC evolved from an SME enabler to a leader in national tech transformation by aligning with global trends and building resilient ecosystems. Similarly, the Philippines must prioritize scaling its support for both startups and SMEs to position itself as a key innovation ecosystem in Southeast Asia. 2. In terms of continuous integration of more advanced technologies, Filipino startups, through the help of the government, must equip businesses of any size, with the tools, funding, and knowledge to embrace these new technologies thereby fostering innovation and global competitiveness. #GobiPartners #Innovation #VentureCapital #Malaysia #R2G2024 #SustainableFuture #ESG #TechnologyForGrowth #Technopreneurs

The Philippine tech ecosystem is at an inflection point, brimming with opportunities yet facing critical challenges. Carlo Chen-Delantar discussed some of his key insights on #ANCMarketEdge with Michelle Krystle Ong: 🌐 There has been a gap in the volume of regional investors coming into the Philippines and the number of local investors available. The increased presence of regional investors in the Philippines proves the growing potential of the startups in the ecosystem. However, there are opportunities for local investors to invest back into the Philippines. 🌐 In 2024, majority of the tech ecosystem funding was funneled into growth stage funding, especially in #fintech. However, the limited number of startups progressing to Series A-B highlights the need to strengthen both growth strategies and market dynamics. By fostering the right conditions, we can encourage more groundbreaking innovations to emerge. 🌐 In order for technology to be used as a nation-building tool, there needs to be an influx of support coming from all stakeholders -- government, investors, startups, ecosystem enablers, TBI consortia, and others. Startup-friendly policies, such as tax incentives and streamlined visas, are essential to addressing these gaps. They enable startups to reinvest in growth, attract global talent, and encourage both local and foreign investors to participate. The time to invest, build, and act towards growing the Philippine ecosystem to compete with ASEAN countries is now.
