KL20 Summit 2024 - Day 1. A commendable initiative by the Malaysian government in bolstering the country's startup ecosystem with the aim of becoming one of the top 20 startup hubs globally by 2030. Some key takeaways: 1. The announcement of tailored visas with expedited processing reflects a promising move to attract highly skilled talent, entrepreneurs and VCs to set up a base in Malaysia. However, it is imperative to ensure that these measures are implemented efficiently, devoid of the bureaucratic challenges encountered in the past. 2. There's a clear focus on driving foreign capital and advancing specific industries like semiconductors, aligning with the growing demands of AI. A key point noted by one of the investment firms, GP Bullhound, is the importance of carving out a niche and becoming a global leader in a specific field. Should it be agritech? Semiconductors? Sustainability? While it's tempting to explore all avenues, focusing on a few strengths can elevate Malaysia to a prominent global position, akin to Taiwan's success in semiconductors. 3. Ensuring access to a skilled talent pool is paramount for the success of tech-based companies. Hence, providing competitive compensation is vital for retaining local talent and encouraging skilled individuals to return. The 'brain drain' phenomenon witnessed over the years largely stems from inadequate salaries, making it unappealing for highly qualified Malaysians to remain in the country. 4. Lastly, enhancing tax incentives for businesses and entrepreneurs to establish themselves here is crucial. We have seen many companies move their base to Singapore for this reason alone. Make it easy and attractive for businesses to thrive here and I am certain the results would benefit all players within the ecosystem, including the government. #KL20summit2024 #KL20 #StartupEcosystem #StartupsInMalaysia

Today, I had the pleasure of visiting the German Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Japan (AHK Japan) and meeting with COO and Deputy Delegate Lucas Witoslawski. AHK plays a crucial role in supporting business functions such as trade, investment, and market entry for German companies, while also driving innovation in AI and startups. Their focus on strengthening German-Japanese relations offered valuable insights into collaboration across established and emerging sectors.
