At the jampacked event, we all witnessed the awarding of special awards and the final top 8 winners concluding the event and gloriously recognizing those lovely ladies who stood out.

As always, it was the most awaited and highly dreaded Question and Answer portion that either made or broke the popular candidates winning chance. All the nervousness was very evident. It has always been the case for every beauty pageant that seeks for not only the most beautiful but also for the ones that are both intellectually and emotionally confident.

3rd Edition of WIEF IdeaLab Aims to Strengthen the ASEAN Entrepreneurship Ecosystem

Wazzup Pilipinas!

World Islamic Economic Forum (WIEF) kicks off discourse on Entrepreneurship and Emerging Spaces with IdeaLab 2017

The WIEF Young Leaders Network (WYN) has yesterday concluded the third edition of WIEF IdeaLab 2017. This unique two-day boutique conference, which aims to strengthen the ASEAN startup ecosystem, attracted close to 400 participants from 35 countries.

“As the rising center of the global economy, the ASEAN region boasts myriad opportunities; especially for startups and entrepreneurs. With innovation and entrepreneurship being a key agenda in many countries throughout the region including Malaysia, it is only inevitable that startups are increasingly looked to as key drivers of socio-economic and market transformation in the region,” said Ebrahim Patel, Chairman of the WIEF Young Leaders Network.

According to Patel, global venture capitalists continue to seek investment opportunities in the ASEAN startup ecosystem due to the talent pool and rapid growth potential.

“We bring together global venture capital firms and angel investors looking at investing in seed to post-seed stage companies. This also includes startups in the ideation stage across ASEAN. By doing so, WIEF IdeaLab 2017 is a prime example of the type of values that the WIEF Foundation and its associated programs bring to its various participants,” added Patel.

At the IdeaLab Pitch session this year, 31 ASEAN startups presented their ideas in efforts to receive investments from participating global venture capitalists; out of which 10 startups were shortlisted for the final pitch session. After the final deliberation, Moneybay, Zap Zap Math, CheQQme, Glueck, BolehCompare and Moovby received expression interest. CSX who was also one of the finalists is currently a rising star in the area big data analytics.
