This year has been a standout year for innovation in Malaysia. Exciting ideas like BoomGrow’s 5G-connected vertical farm and Brikoole’s “breathable bricks” have come to fruition, with Brikoole winning the national James Dyson Award 2024.
Despite the challenges of funding gaps and resources for research and development (R&D), Malaysian startups and entrepreneurs have support available.
The government offers programs like the Supercharger Series through the Malaysian Research Accelerator for Technology and Innovation (MRANTI) to help accelerate the commercialization of startup R&D projects.
What is the Supercharger Series?
The Supercharger Series is a free program under MRANTI aimed at fast-tracking the commercialization of startup R&D projects. By connecting startups with industry professionals and providing access to funding opportunities, this program helps turn research and ideas into market-ready solutions.
Joining the Supercharger Series offers Malaysian startups several key benefits:
1. Future-Proof Your Startup’s Tech Innovations
By aligning with Malaysia’s strategic priorities in industries like agriculture, healthcare, food security, and smart technology, startups can stay at the forefront of innovation. The Supercharger Series focuses on these industries, providing startups with the knowledge and expertise to develop cutting-edge solutions.
2. Access MRANTI’s Network of Expertise and Resources
The Supercharger Series connects startups with Malaysia’s top experts in R&D and innovation, helping fine-tune strategies and fast-track tech development. This practical support guides startups in areas like prototype improvement, regulatory challenges, and market launch planning.
3. Fast-Track Commercializing Your Solutions and Business Ideas
The Supercharger Series includes an intensive bootcamp called the Supercharger R2C (Road-to-Commercialization) Bootcamp, designed for startups in the pre-commercialization stage. This program equips startups with the skills needed to bring products and services to market, covering topics like market validation, intellectual property, and launch strategy.
MRANTI’s commitment to expanding the Supercharger Series to more locations aims to create equal opportunities for startups across Malaysia and support local ecosystems.
