Market Access is a structured programme designed to support startups that are ready to scale beyond Malaysia.
The programme is designed for growth-stage startups and founders who have achieved initial traction and are seeking access to new customers, partners, and opportunities across Southeast Asia.
By working closely with regional ecosystem players, Market Access helps founders navigate unfamiliar markets, build meaningful relationships, and understand local dynamics in markets such as Singapore, the Philippines, and beyond.
Through curated market access pilots, founders gain practical market insights, validate demand, and establish early commercial or strategic footholds.
The programme prioritises real outcomes—supporting startups to scale beyond Malaysia through structured market entry, targeted introductions, and ecosystem-led collaboration, rather than generic exposure trips.
In line with SusHI Tech Tokyo 2026, this is a 12-week program designed to prepare founders to break into the Japanese market.
The program includes onboarding, mentoring, strategic guidance, and tailored preparation to ensure founders are well positioned for investor meetings, followed by post-trip support to help them sustain momentum after the visit.
Application is closed.
In 2024, Artem PACE joined forces with the Singapore Fintech Association (SFA) on a market access program that brought 12 Singaporean delegates to Malaysia, where we facilitated 15 strategic meetings with leading financial sector stakeholders.
In a collaborative effort with Cradle and My Startup, Artem PACE brought 7 Malaysian startups to the Philippines to accelerate their growth and advance them to the next stage. The delegation engaged in a rich program of activities — visiting 2 leading Philippine startups, attending 2 networking events, participating in business matching and pitching sessions, and holding industry meetings with key government agencies.
