Great healthcare products often start with a doctor noticing a problem.
The hard part is building the right product to solve it.

What you will take away:
🔹 How to spot a genuine problem in healthcare worth solving
🔹 How testing, feedback and real-world use shaped each version of the product, including what worked and what didn’t
🔹 What makes a MedTech product useful, viable and adoptable
🔹 Why validation, regulation and trust matter in healthcare
🔹 What to consider before deciding to build

Fintech isn't just about moving money faster anymore. It's about who customers trust with it, and that's getting harder to earn as financial services get more embedded, more automated, and more scrutinised.

Join us this coming Friday, Hildah Hamzah, Deputy CEO & COO of GXBank , is walking through where fintech is headed and what it means if you're building in this space.

You'll walk away knowing:
🔹 The trends shaping banking, payments, lending, insurance and financial infrastructure right now
🔹 Why trust, risk and compliance matter more as fintech gets embedded into everyday financial services
🔹 Where emerging areas like embedded finance, alternative-data underwriting and agentic finance are heading
🔹 The financial services problems that are still underserved or poorly solved
🔹 How to build fintech that's actually trusted and compliant, not just functional
🔹 What it takes to work with financial institutions as a founder

Building in fintech, or thinking about it? This one's for you.

What should Malaysian founders be building right now?
And if you had RM150,000, what could you prove?

Malaysia looks very different from 5 years ago. Manufacturing is moving up the value chain. Penang is deepening its role in semiconductors. Johor is part of a bigger opportunity alongside Singapore. Sarawak is opening up around energy and digital infrastructure. And AI is changing how work gets done in almost every sector.

These shifts create new problems. Our first Request for Startups 2026 asks where a small founding team can realistically build something valuable around them. Swipe for the 7 areas.

It is not a list of hot sectors. Here is what we look for in a founder:
🔹 Deep vertical workflows
🔹 Proprietary or hard-to-access data
🔹 A strong distribution advantage
🔹 Integration into customer operations
🔹 Regulatory complexity as a moat
🔹 AI as an enabler, not the whole moat

Building outside these 7 areas? Apply anyway. Tell us what has changed, why the problem matters now and why your team should be the one to solve it.

Applications for Alpha Startups™ Pre-Accelerator Cohort 68 are open until 8 Nov 2026. The programme starts 18 Nov 2026 and runs hybrid.

Fintech isn't just about moving money faster anymore. It's about who customers trust with it, and that's getting harder to earn as financial services get more embedded, more automated, and more scrutinised.
