Kuala Lumpur, 15th August 2024 – MINI Malaysia announces the introduction of the new MINI Impact Program by URBAN-X in Malaysia, marking an exciting expansion of the platform’s mission to support groundbreaking urban technology startups. Following the success of pilot initiatives in several countries across the globe, URBAN-X is now calling for submissions from Malaysian startups focused on creating innovative sustainable solutions that address the most pressing urban challenges.
An open call for urban changemakers.
The MINI Impact Program is a four-week intensive program designed to empower startups working on climate technology and other transformative urban solutions. Each selected startup team will participate in the programme for three weeks remotely, with a culminating week at URBAN-X in New York City. This global initiative, which first piloted in 2022, has already been successful in several markets across Europe, America, Africa and Asia, and is expanding further in 2024 to welcome teams from Malaysia, the Netherlands, Japan, the United Kingdom, India, Mexico and Italy.
Selected Malaysian startups will receive bespoke guidance from URBAN-X’s extensive resources, which include access to world-class engineering and design support, investment capital from venture partner JVP, and a global network of investors, policymakers, and industry leaders, helping them refine and scale their innovations to make a tangible impact on urban life.
