These include startups from the field of PropTech, AgriTech and green solutions.
With a high competition of over 40 applications, the final six that were selected are Arus Oil, FESLink, Grab Maid, LinkUp Smart Solutions, Safe-T5 and Tomorrow Data.
These startups will be given a grant of RM50,000 as working capital and free use of office spaces at IOI RIO, the next-gen smart city.
In addition to that, each startup will also get mentoring sessions from IOIPG's C-suite personnel to obtain useful insights on what appeals to customers and get priority business opportunities to jointly develop and provide products and services to complement IOIPG's projects.
