Penjana Kapital Sdn Bhd ("Penjana Kapital") was incorporated on 1 July 2020 as part of the Government of Malaysia’s initiative to accelerate the development of a future innovation economy.

Its main role is to stimulate the Malaysia’s economy by futureproofing Malaysia businesses through innovation from start-ups, funded by private capital from strategic international and private domestic investors, matched by the government and in turn creating a vibrant and sustainable venture capital ("VC") industry in Malaysia.

Penjana Kapital administers and facilitates the deployment of the Dana Penjana Nasional ("Dana Penjana"), a matching fund-of-funds program where the Government of Malaysia will match, on a 1:1 basis, funds raised by the VC fund managers from foreign and private local investors.

🚀 Exciting News Alert! 🚀
 
Penjana Kapital, in collaboration with Taylor's University, BizPod Taylors, proudly unveils the third cohort of the KapitalX Program! 🌟 Due to overwhelming interest, we've expanded the cohort to 35 dynamic participants, marking a significant milestone in nurturing the next generation of venture capital talents.
 
The event was graced by insightful addresses from our esteemed speakers:
“Malaysia’s modern development has undergone 5 stages. First, from 1957-1977, represented a formative period for the economy, with a focus on resource exploitation & management as well as the formation of basic infrastructure (roads, schools, and healthcare) and institutions (agencies, banking, and education). Second, from 1978-1998, saw massive development of new industries (E&E sector, manufacturing, and resource-based) and large-scale infrastructure (toll roads, telco, and power). Third, from 1998-2008, derailed our early progress and saw the country impose capital controls and undertake nationalization, further challenged by the Global Financial Crisis of 2008. Fourth, from 2009-2019, amidst declining FDI and growth, the country focused on the growth of the Services sector (growth of civil service and expansion of government-owned/linked companies into the market). Also, growth in welfare economics whereby subsidies were expanded and became a major part of the socio-economic setup of the country. The country had to grapple with the Covid-19 pandemic from 2020-2022. The fifth stage does not represent the new lost generation. In fact, Malaysia is well-positioned to benefit from a special focus on the “new economy,” outward-inward looking into ASEAN. We have seen developmental finance to complement 1978-1998, this time it's a push for private capital to invest and the expansion of onshore capital markets, namely private equity & VC. To prepare for these opportunities, you need to invest in yourself as much as you want others to invest in you and your ventures.” Taufiq Iskandar, CEO of Penjana Kapital

"This program underscores our dedication to nurturing visionary leaders and innovators. By bridging academia with the business world, we aim to cultivate an ecosystem where creativity, collaboration, and innovation flourish." Professor Dr. Eddy Siong Choy Chong, Executive Dean of the Faculty of Business & Law at Taylor’s University
