The Entrepreneurs Summit VI is set to return on 2 October 2025 in Kuala Lumpur as Malaysia’s leading one-day platform that brings together entrepreneurs, corporates, investors, and government agencies to accelerate collaboration, capital, and growth.
This year’s summit will spotlight founder journeys, practical growth strategies, and high-level networking designed to drive innovation across industries. Supported by media partner The Rakyat Post and community partner Next Up Asia, the event features keynote addresses and interactive panel discussions addressing the real challenges and opportunities of building high-growth businesses.
### Summit Highlights and Sessions
Sessions will explore inspiring founder journeys to global scale, including a Solarvest case study, uncovering the hidden truths of entrepreneurship, and a data-backed analysis of failure versus scaling. Other key topics include innovation versus execution, government partnership strategies, corporate co-founding models, 2025 investor trends, and sector forecasts for biotech, fintech, and digital commerce.
The summit features a stellar speaker line-up of business leaders and ecosystem builders, including:
– Ruben Emir Gnanalingam, Executive Chairman, Westports Holdings
– Kent Chua, CEO, RCX Group
– Chan Kok Long, Co-founder of iPay88 & Group CEO, Carehaus Sdn Bhd
– Arieff Aaron Abudullah, Director, Invest Selangor Berhad
– Ben Lim, CEO & Founder, NEXEA
### Insights From Industry Leaders
Kent Chua, CEO of RCX Group, emphasized the importance of action:
“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. Winners turn insights into action; losers just keep talking.”
Echoing this sentiment, Chan Kok Long, Co-founder of iPay88 and Group CEO of Carehaus Sdn Bhd, said:
“This summit brings together all the right players — startups, corporates, investors, and policymakers — under one roof. This is where collaborations are born and future industries are shaped. We believe Malaysia has all the ingredients to produce world-class entrepreneurs, and gatherings like this give founders the momentum, resources, and confidence to turn big ideas into global businesses.”
Ben Lim, CEO & Founder of NEXEA, added:
“NEXEA backs founders with capital and operational support; Entrepreneurs Summit VI multiplies that effect by creating focused opportunities to meet corporates, investors, and policy influencers. 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.”
### A Catalyst for Growth and Innovation
This year, the Entrepreneurs Summit VI is expected to host over 1,000 leaders, with participating organizations representing up to US$2.2 billion (RM10 billion) in combined revenues — significantly increasing the chances of real commercial partnerships.
More than just a conference, the Entrepreneurs Summit VI serves as a catalyst for growth, innovation, and collaboration across Malaysia’s startup ecosystem. With its strong focus on founder stories, practical growth strategies, and curated networking, the summit aims to accelerate entrepreneurs from idea to impact while positioning Malaysia as a regional hub for innovation.
