We are extremely grateful to be hosting government officers from Hai Ning, China. 

During the visit, a MoU was signed to jointly establish a centre of exchange between businesses from both Hai Ning and Malaysia. 

Going forward, we continue to work on fostering cross-border exchanges between China and ASEAN to create mutually beneficial ties for businesses across both regions.

Tech CEOs & Entrepreneurs... How do you grow faster? How do you build for exits? What is the right price and When is the right time?

These are all important questions that founders often come to us for our view. We have had private conversation like this many times, but this time, thanks to World Financial Symposiums, we are going to discuss some of these topics publicly. 

Come join us where our partner, Adrian Hia 颜贻杨 is going to be discussing all these with his fellow panels.

⭐ Kairous Portfolio's News

We have been incredibly lucky in working alongside with Julian Tan and his team at FastCo to transform blue-collars and non-executive sectors in Southeast Asia. 

Our investment in FastCo further solidify our commitment in bringing the best companies across the region to build and invest in our home base, Malaysia. 

In FastCo case, we see tremendous opportunities in not just bringing equal access to job opportunities to the B40 communities but also uplifting / upskilling their skillsets to allow them to move up the social ladders. 

This is much in line with the Malaysia government's Ekonomi Madani to achieve the goal of being in the Top 25 in Human Development Index and Increasing labour share of income to 45% of GDP in the next 10 years. 

The company has been recently picked up by BFM 89.9 - The Business Station, a great session done between Roshan Kanesan, CFP and the Julian Tan to discuss about their journey and what's their plan going forward in making a meaningful impact for the underserved non-executive workers in Malaysia and the rest of the Southeast Asia country.
