TECH GARAGE Seminar Vol. 11 Connects Deep Tech Innovators with Manufacturing, Investment and IPO Ecosystem
Leave a Nest Malaysia will host TECH GARAGE Seminar Vol. 11: “From Prototyping to Listing” at the Center of Garage Malaysia (COGMY), Cyberjaya, bringing together startups, researchers, manufacturers, investors, and industry partners to accelerate technology commercialization and business growth.
Taking place on 26th August 2026, TECH GARAGE Seminar Vol. 11 is designed as a platform where innovators can gain practical knowledge, showcase their technologies, connect with key ecosystem players, and explore pathways to bring their businesses from early-stage development and prototyping towards growth, investment, and eventually the public market.
The event is open to everyone, with a particular focus on growth-stage deep tech companies aiming toward an IPO within the next two to five years, as well as startups and researchers seeking manufacturing, commercialization, investment, and industry collaboration opportunities.
From Prototyping to Business Growth
Under the theme “From Prototyping to Listing,” TECH GARAGE Seminar Vol. 11 will explore different stages of a company’s growth journey — from developing and manufacturing a product, to demonstrating business and technology progress, raising capital, scaling the company, and understanding the pathway towards an IPO.
The program will feature three key sessions:
Kobashi Monozukuri Seminar
The Kobashi Monozukuri Seminar is a dedicated session featuring insights on manufacturing, prototyping, and building from concept to market.
Through the Japanese Monozukuri approach, participants will gain perspectives on how technology-driven ideas can be translated into tangible products and how manufacturing considerations can be integrated into the commercialization journey.
144 Startup Showcase
The 144 Startup Showcase will provide selected startups with a platform to pitch and share their businesses, technologies, and growth to date.
The showcase aims to increase the visibility of promising companies while creating opportunities for them to connect with investors, manufacturers, corporate partners, and other stakeholders who may support their next stage of growth.
Fireside Chat Session | Gateway to Growth: From Venture Capital to IPO
In the afternoon, the program will shift its focus from technology development to business and financial growth through the Fireside Chat Session: “Gateway to Growth: From Venture Capital to IPO.”
The session will bring together ecosystem leaders from:
- Leave a Nest Capital
- UntroD Capital Asia
- Bursa Malaysia
Speakers will share their perspectives and engage with the audience on topics including fundraising strategies, venture capital, scaling a technology-driven business, preparing companies for their next stage of growth, and the journey towards an IPO.
The discussion aims to give founders and growth-stage companies a clearer understanding of what investors and the capital market look for as businesses progress from venture-backed growth towards public listing.
Creating Connections Across the Innovation Ecosystem
Beyond the seminar and showcase sessions, TECH GARAGE Seminar Vol. 11 will provide dedicated opportunities for networking and exhibition, enabling participants to meet startups, researchers, investors, manufacturers, and industry partners.
By bringing these stakeholders together in one platform, TECH GARAGE aims to encourage new collaborations, technology commercialization, investment opportunities, manufacturing partnerships, and business connections across the deep tech ecosystem.
