The “Innovative Youth, Future Business Leader 2.0” competition was organised by the Kuala Lumpur and Selangor Chinese Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KLSCCCI), aimed at developing entrepreneurial thinking among Malaysian youth. It is a national-level competition with participants from various universities in Malaysia.
