Dear Members & Friends,


MSC Malaysia's Technopreneur Pre-Seed Fund Programme is initiated in RMK9 to catalyze the creation of local Technopreneurs and K-SMEs in ICT towards growing the local ICT Industry. This programme addresses the funding gap at pre-seed  stage and is expected to boost the development of commercially  viable ICT projects and kick off a chain reaction in the creation of new local K-SMEs in ICT.

The targeted beneficiaries are local Technopreneurs. Only individuals are eligible to apply, not existing companies. The programme offers up to RM150k of conditional funding to develop viable business plans into commercially focused ICT projects with prototype and detailed business plans suitable for venture funding & commercialization.

As a developmental programme, it is not a pure grant and recipients will also benefit from development, mentoring services and access to shared lab facilities at MSC Malaysia Status Incubators provided through MDeC's Technopreneur Development programme.

We are pleased to inform that the MDeC invites local Technopreneurs to submit their applications for Batch 9.

You may submit your draft proposals to the Secretariat of Technopreneur Pre-Seed Fund Programme for review, seek clarifications and to provide inputs to applicants for any required improvements.

The opening date is 2nd May 2008 while the closing date is 23rd May 2008.

Please call them at 03 - 8313 8000 to register your interest in the programme and to arrange for a one-to-one advisory session.
