‍

Kuala Lumpur’s Climate Hero Club chapter showed Malaysia’s climate-tech scene hitting a new stride. Founders, investors, and ecosystem partners gathered at ASBhive to exchange insights on financing pathways, policy alignment, and scaling real solutions. Speed networking sparked cross-sector connections, while the panel unpacked how technology, business models, and regulation must move together. By the end of the event, several teams had already identified collaboration opportunities, from joint pilots to early-stage financing discussions with regional partners. Kuala Lumpur proved not just a stop in the regional tour, but a growing hub linking Malaysian innovators into the wider Climate Hero Club network.

TESTIMONIALS

“Climate Hero Club has been a long-term partner with Aspire and we’re really happy to support this event here in KL. I learned so much about the local climate tech industry and it really improved my understanding of how Aspire can support the space.”

Finnley Hui Yu

Aspire

“The speed networking session was incredibly useful. In just a few rounds I connected with founders, investors, and community builders; it’s a great way to understand the climate ecosystem from multiple angles.”

Felix Culas

Cleantech Innovators

“The variety of partners from VC, academia, and different backgrounds really gave us insight as a climate tech startup on where we should position ourselves, whether in funding or shaping our business model. That mix is what makes this industry so special because you cannot rely on tech alone without keeping pace with policy.”
