ABOUT YOUTH TRAILBLAZERS CHALLENGE (PREVIEW)

Youth Trailblazers Challenge (YTC) is a competition looking for innovative ideas focusing on 6 pillars (Education, Startup & SME, Community & Social, Clean water and healthcare, Green energy and environment, and Technological innovation), and is open to youth aged 18-35 years. The challenge is an initiative by Malaysia Trailblazers Association (http://myperintis.org) aiming to identify innovative ideas among Malaysian youth, introducing the idea of inclusive business to them, and providing a platform through which valuable professional relations can be created.

The actual competition will take place in November as part of 1ASEAN Entrepreneurship Summit (1AES), but currently previews of the challenge are conducted across the country. The purpose of the 2-hour YTC Preview is to introduce the concept of inclusive business, which participants need to have an understanding of in order to take part in the main competition in November, where they have a chance to win seed funding in total up to RM60,000, as well as get exposure to some of our MNC partners such as CIMB, BMW Group, Proton, MDEC, IBM, Sunway, just to name few, for job opportunities.
