Softinn Solutions will be exhibiting among Asia-Pacific’s best startups at Echelon Asia Summit 2016 as a representative of Malaysia.
After kicking off the TOP100 Startup Search in Singapore, the TOP100 Southeast Asia Tour took its first stop in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
After screening over 50 Malaysian applications, shortlisted startups were handpicked by the judging panel to pitch at Maybank Innovation Centre, including teams like Postco and Tripovo. The event was made possible with the support of Innovation Partner Cradle Fund Sdn Bhd. With just three minutes of intense pitching time and five minutes of Q&A, these startups had to impress the judges to make it for the TOP100.
Softinn Solutions was crowned the Judges’ Choice winner, taking it home with SGD$500 cash prize and a booth package at Echelon Asia Summit 2016.
