The International Entrepreneurs Summit 2025 (IES 2025), co-organized by JCI Petaling Jaya and the Youth Hub Foundation, concluded with great success on August 21–22.

The two-day summit brought together young entrepreneurs, industry leaders, and policy advocates from across Malaysia to engage in dynamic discussions on innovation, technology, sustainability, and entrepreneurship.

IES 2025 offered participants valuable opportunities for learning, inspiration, and collaboration, serving as a key platform for fostering cross-sector networking and strategic partnerships.

As part of the program, delegates visited three prominent Malaysian companies—MATRADE, WORQ, and Hextar Group—to gain first-hand insights into international trade, coworking ecosystems, and green technology initiatives. The summit also featured thought-provoking keynote sessions on topics such as the startup ecosystem, international market development, AI-enabled businesses, and sustainable transformation strategies.

A major highlight of IES 2025 was the Gala Dinner, which not only provided networking opportunities but also showcased dynamic project pitches from two emerging startup teams. Their innovative ideas received enthusiastic applause, underscoring the creativity and potential of Malaysia’s next generation of business leaders.

“The success of IES 2025 reflects the collective efforts of our partners, speakers, sponsors, and participants,” said the organizers. “This summit was not just an event but a journey—uniting the power of youth and planting the seeds for a sustainable and prosperous future.”

IES 2025 marks a significant milestone in empowering young entrepreneurs and reaffirms Malaysia’s role in driving innovation and global business collaboration.
