When it comes to accolades and achievements, Malaysians are indeed not far behind from their foreign peers. From being the underdogs of science and technological advancement, to standing proudly in the eyes of the world, Malaysians have indeed come a long way. This year, had indeed been a fruitful period for Malaysians as we’ve witnessed social activists and founders of organisations being enlisted in prestigious lists detailing their achievements.

Now, Forbes Asia has spotlighted notable small companies and startups on the rise across the Asia-Pacific region and here’s the best part — four Malaysian firms and startups have made it to the inaugural business news publication, Forbes Asia’s 100 to Watch List today! The editor of Forbes Asia, Justin Doebele said, “Companies on the ‘100 to Watch’ list are making remarkable progress and impact in spite of the challenging climate brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic. Their inclusion on the list comes in part from addressing significant problems with innovative solutions.”

The methods used in the selection of firms included online submissions and extending invitations to relevant stakeholders to nominate companies, with the final 100 selected from over 900 submissions.

Without further delay, have a look at the four Malaysian startup companies on this list:
