00:00 Ladies and gentlemen, in less than four weeks' time, Malaysia will be launching a one-of-a-kind
00:11 regional startup conference called KL20.
00:16 It is part of our ambition to catapult Kuala Lumpur as a top 20 startup ecosystem in the
00:23 world and become the gateway to innovation in Southeast Asia.
00:28 KL20 itself is a two-day event scheduled for 22nd and 23rd April and will be held at the
00:38 Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre.
00:40 It will gather an unprecedented mix of global sovereign wealth funds, leading venture capitalists,
00:48 international startups and incubators.
00:51 With over 1,000 attendees anticipated, KL20 will feature an exciting speaker lineup from
00:58 all corners of the globe.
01:01 For the first time, the Prime Minister Yamagoroma Dato' Sreyanwa Ibrahim will launch an action
01:07 paper, KL20 Action Paper, which outlines over 20+ transformative reforms that we hope will
01:17 jumpstart the ecosystem in Kuala Lumpur in order for us to move up towards the top 20
01:25 ecosystem globally.
01:27 We hope the radical initiatives which we are curating will build the startup pipeline from
01:34 three perspectives.
01:36 From the funders' perspective, investors' perspective, from the founders' perspective
01:42 and also from the talent's perspective.
01:46 We hope that with the launch of KL20 by Yamagoroma Dato' Sreyanwa Ibrahim, it is going to be
01:53 our simple message to the rest of the world, which is Malaysia is open for business in
01:59 digital and tech.
02:02 If you want to be a part of that journey and contribute, I suggest you register on the
02:09 KL20 website at kl20.gov.my.
02:16 And so far, with our engagements with participants, speakers, VC firms and other startup founders,
02:30 we hope to have significant participation from regional and international players as
02:38 well.
02:38 Thank you.
