Cradle Investment Programme

What is Cradle Investment Programme (CIP)?
The Cradle Investment Programme (CIP) is Malaysia s first development and pre-seed funding programme for technology ideas. It enables budding innovators and aspiring innovative entrepreneurs to make the jump from just having an innovative technology idea to becoming a successful start-up.

Cradle approves conditional grants of up to RM50, 000 per tranche per idea for innovative technology ideas with good commercialisation potential.

Cradle Investment Programme is willing to help any entrepreneur who is serious about getting started and who has good business ideas. Cradle Investment Programme (CIP) is managed by Cradle Fund Sdn Bhd, which is wholly funded by the Ministry of Finance.

They are currently looking for ideas that fall under the areas of ICT and high growth, including:

  • Software and information services
  • Internet: e-services, e-commerce and e-content
  • Communication and networking mobile data
  • High tech consumer and business products
  • Electronic and semi-conductors
  • Medical devices and advance materials
  • Biotechnology and life sciences
  • Environmental resources management and renewable energy
  • Technology innovation for any industry

As a technopreneur, one of the biggest challenges you’ll face is getting started.

  • How do you get ideas off the ground?
  • Who will give you money when you have no background or experience at all?
  • Apart from funds, will there be any support extended as well?
