T-Hub and Beyond4 Unite to Boost India-Malaysia Startups

T-Hub, an Indian startup incubator, has today signed a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with Beyond4, Malaysia’s premier accelerator ecosystem witnessed by the 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 memorandum of agreement (MOA) follows the recent state visit of Malaysian Prime Minister HE 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 drive growth in key sectors including fintech, health tech, 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.

Furthermore, the India Market Access Program will support Malaysian startups through localization, 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 also strongly focuses 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.

Key dignitaries present at the signing included, Malaysia's Minister of Investment, Trade & Industry, CEO of T-Hub, and CEO of Beyond4 Malaysia among others.
