Technopreneur Open Day 2015 @ Penang

Technopreneur Open Day (TOD) is the fastest growing technology and digital entrepreneurship event in Malaysia today. Started by MAD Incubator as a quarterly event to promote technopreneurship and introduce business incubation services and assistance, TOD has grown from its home base in Kuala Lumpur to four (4) states and has reached out to more than 4000 technopreneurs and SMEs since 2009.

Technopreneur Open Day has since been used as a platform to reach out to technology players and practitioners; and an opportunity to discover new ideas, talents and hidden gems in other parts of Malaysia outside of Klang Valley. Since 2012, TOD has ventured out of Klang Valley, to other main cities in Penang, Johor, Perak and Sabah.

TOD is poised to be the one stop platform for technopreneurs and would-be technopreneurs to pitch their ideas or businesses, obtain latest information in the market, gain knowledge, develop skills, expand their networks, and source for business opportunities. We engage various speakers and experts from diverse industries to share their experiences and knowledge in TOD.

TOD 2015 is anticipated to attract more than 800 participants spanning five roadshows in Penang, Johor, Perak, Sabah and Klang Valley. Now is your chance to be part of the fastest growing technology entrepreneurship event in Malaysia! Differentiate yourself by supporting this thrilling and entrepreneurship relevant event with the most engaging and fast growing entrepreneur base in the country.
