It’s been called an eye-opener for startups and the new wave of marketing, and now Malaysia is finally going to get a taste of GrowthX. The Silicon Valley-based venture capital fund, which helps companies and countries commercialise innovations, has joined forces with Malaysia’s own Commerce.Asia to help startups and SMEs here find their product market fit via GrowthX Malaysia. We discuss GrowthX Malaysia’s objectives, and how the VC-Accelerator-Academy formula is expected to help Malaysia succeed in the Innovation Economy.
