🌱 Impact Circle MY is proud and honoured to have signed an MOU with the Securities Commission Malaysia alongside MDEC, Sidec, and UPM, at the launch of the hashtag#GROWMatch initiative. This partnership is a significant step forward in advancing food security self-sufficiency through alternative financing. 🚀
GROWMatch taps into equity crowdfunding (ECF) and peer-to-peer financing (P2P) platforms to support micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) in underserved sectors. Since their inception, these platforms have helped over 18,000 MSMEs raise nearly RM8 billion in funding as of June 2024. 💼💰
At the GROWMatch pitching session, 20 outstanding entrepreneurs, selected from over 70 applications, showcased their innovative solutions and competing for critical financing opportunities within the food security value chain. 🌾💡These finalists were chosen for their strong track records, solid business models, and exceptional execution strategies. 🎯
✨👍🏻Kudos to the 10 Impact Ventures Network members who were selected: Entomal, Ultimeat, Binsho Solutions, Palm Fiber, SEADLING, Pacton Technologies, Life Origin, Grussonn, Future Farms, and Gaia Eats. 👏🌟
The SC Chairman Dato’ Mohammad Faiz Azmi in his welcoming address, he highlighted how GROWMatch leverages the collective expertise of diverse ecosystem partners to offer comprehensive support and resources to food security innovators, especially small businesses in need of funding.
The official launch of GROWMatch by YB Tuan Gobind Singh Deo further emphasised the significance of this initiative. During his speech, he highlighted not only the importance of digitalization across all industries and sectors but also the vital role that alternative financing options play in driving economic growth. 📈⚙️ As digitalization continues to reshape industries, access to innovative financing solutions becomes increasingly important for small businesses, particularly those in agriculture, who face unique challenges in scaling and accessing capital. 🌍💻 This initiative marks a significant step towards bridging those gaps and ensuring that food security challenges in Malaysia are met with robust, tech-enabled, and well-funded solutions. 🌾💡💰
Through GROWMatch, we are fostering an ecosystem where innovation meets opportunity, where small agripreneurs are empowered to grow their businesses, and where alternative financing serves as a catalyst for driving sustainable economic development. I look forward to seeing the impact this initiative will have on shaping the future of agriculture in our country. 🌱💪🌾
✨😍A big congratulations🌟 to the entire SC team, including Dr. Wong Huei Ching, Azrina Azmel, and Dr. Anne Marie Warren, for their invaluable contributions in making the GROWMatch a reality. 🌟👏
