Last Thursday, 13th February 2025, ACE.SG and MADCash hosted Cross-Border Exchange with Female Founders! We brought together women entrepreneurs from Malaysia and Singapore to share their experiences, challenges, and insights on overcoming systemic barriers. At our event, we saw firsthand how female founders in Malaysia and Singapore are pushing past obstacles and creating new opportunities for the wider community. Women entrepreneurs aren’t just building businesses—they’re reshaping industries, driving innovation, and challenging the status quo. The journey isn’t always easy, but with the right support, greater visibility, and improved financial access, more women will break barriers and thrive. Thank you to our moderator and panellists for the insightful discussion on Breaking Barriers: Women Entrepreneurs Reshaping Business Landscapes.
