Go China Accelerator
The Go China Accelerator Program is a proposed initiative aimed at assisting Malaysian technology startups in successfully entering the rapidly growing Chinese market. The program intends to prepare startups through innovation and entrepreneurship competitions in China, supported by state-level government backing. Its objective is to equip qualified Malaysian startups with the necessary skills and knowledge to overcome challenges such as language barriers, cultural differences, regulatory compliance, and market competition in China.
The program will span a timeline of three weeks for intensive preparation, followed by an additional two weeks for participation in innovation and entrepreneurship competitions. The language of communication will be in English and Chinese to cater to the needs of the participants.
The target audience for this program consists of Malaysian technology startups that possess a proven business model, a track record of success in the Malaysian market, and a product or service suitable for the Chinese market. Additionally, the startups should have a committed team with relevant skills and expertise, as well as the financial resources required to support market entry into China.
The expected outcomes of the Go China Accelerator Program include increased understanding of the Chinese market and business environment among Malaysian technology startups, improved readiness and competitiveness of these startups to enter the Chinese market, enhanced collaboration and business partnerships between Malaysian and Chinese technology companies, and a boost in investment and job opportunities within the Malaysian technology sector.
