T-Hub, a startup incubator, on Friday signed a Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) with Beyond4, Malaysia’s premier accelerator ecosystem, in the presence of Investment, Trade and Industry Minister of Malaysia, Datuk Seri Tengku Zafrul Abdul Aziz.
The partnership aims to foster cross-border innovation and market access between India and Malaysia, creating a robust framework to support startups from both nations. The MoA follows the recent state visit of Malaysian Prime Minister Dato’ Seri Anwar Ibrahim, who announced a strengthened cooperation between the startup ecosystems of India and Malaysia under the India-Malaysia Startup Alliance.
The partnership will also drive growth in key sectors including fintech, healthtech, agritech, sustainability, and smart cities. As part of this agreement, T-Hub will utilise its extensive network and sectoral expertise to assist Malaysian businesses in entering the Indian market, while providing global growth opportunities for Indian startups. Additionally, it will offer corporate innovation programmes that connect Malaysian corporates with Indian startups, enabling the co-creation of innovative solutions and showcasing their expertise.
Furthermore, the India Market Access Programme will support Malaysian startups through localisation, mentorship, product assessment and proof-of-concept facilitation. Similarly, the Malaysia Market Access initiative will help Indian startups forge connections with Malaysian investors, partners and government entities.
The collaboration includes a strong focus on investor support, with T-Hub and Beyond4 providing access to a broad network of angel investors, venture capitalists and strategic partners.
They will offer investment readiness workshops, exclusive pitch sessions and invitations to demo days and investment sessions for stakeholders from both countries.
