TECH PLANTER in MALAYSIA 2020 strive for new approach through Online Information Session
Leave a Nest Malaysia Sdn. Bhd. is opening applications for TECH PLANTER in MALAYSIA 2020 until 5th June 2020.
TECH PLANTER started in Japan in the year 2014 as a real-tech seed acceleration program, creating an ecosystem to grow seeds of technology from startups and also universities. It is also a platform to implement and bring science and technology to the society. Besides Japan, this program has also expanded to other countries including the UK, US and six ASEAN countries including Malaysia. In 2019, TECH PLANTER advanced further by exploring deep tech & solving deep issues in the society.
Early this year, Leave a Nest Malaysia Sdn. Bhd. has again collaborated with universities to conduct TECH PLANTER Information Session to share about this platform closely to potential applicants from researchers as well as startups.
The list of universities that hosted the Information Session is as follows.
