Levelling up Mid-Tier Companies

Malaysian Mid-Tier Companies (MTCs) are a vital engine of the national economy, contributing significantly to GDP and employment. Despite their high potential, many face persistent hurdles in securing the financing needed to scale and reach the next stage of growth.

Through Dana Impak, Khazanah supports MTCs with ambition, strong fundamentals and potential, in overcoming these challenges by providing a platform to build capabilities to innovate, expand, and provide capital, together with partners to unlock growth and scalability —ultimately driving long-term impact on Malaysia’s economy.

Unlocking Mid-Tier Growth

One of the initiatives under this commitment is the Mid-Tier Growth Innovation Programme (MGIP)—a comprehensive initiative designed to unlock further growth for high potential Malaysian MTCs. MGIP focuses on strengthening the positioning of the MTCs’ products and services through deeper customer understanding to unlock new growth opportunities. Participants will learn to apply the proven methodologies to develop new products or expand into new markets through a customer-validated approach.

MTC Growth Innovation Programme (MGIP)
Fundraising Incubation & Capacity Building

MGIP offers intensive programmes, including an 8-day Masterclass, to equip MTCs with the knowledge and skills necessary to navigate capital markets, followed by one-on-one coaching for select MTCs of up to 15 months. This includes guidance on fundraising requirements and enhancing their overall growth and innovation capabilities.
