Earlier in April, the first class of Asian entrepreneurs graduated from the eFounders Fellowship by Alibaba. The program is a joint initiative by United Nations Conference on Trade and Development and Alibaba Business School, and aims to enable young entrepreneurs to unlock their full potential and bridge the digital divide. It’s an 11 day program that uses Alibaba as the study model to analyse their ecosystem of platforms and solutions. We speak to 3 of the 11 entrepreneurs from Malaysia who attended the program to learn about some of the learning from the program.
