All MIBPC 2007/08 finalists winners are encouraged to apply for the
MSC Malaysia Technopreneur Pre-Seed Fund Programme. As part of
the prize, the top five finalists in the Business Plan category will be
exempted from the Evaluation stage of the MSC Malaysia Pre-Seed
Fund and be fast-tracked straight to the Approval Committee. The
programme was initiated in RMK9 to address the funding gap at
pre-seed stage. The programme is expected to boost the
development of commercially viable ICT projects and kick start a
chain reaction in the creation of new local K-SMEs in ICT.
