SEBA 2024 Theme: Beyond Boundaries
As we step into our ninth year with SEBA, we embrace a future defined by our new theme, ‘Beyond Boundaries.’ In 2024, our vision extends beyond the vibrant landscape of Malaysia, encompassing the entire ASEAN region in a celebration of entrepreneurial unity and cross-cultural collaboration. We’re not just celebrating achievements; we’re pioneering a legacy of innovation and partnership across Southeast Asia.
I extend my deepest gratitude to everyone who has journeyed with us – our steadfast partners, our dedicated team, the inspiring entrepreneurs, and now our esteemed colleagues across ASEAN. In unity, we represent a formidable force, guiding our nations towards a future of growth and shared prosperity.
Founded in 2016, SEBA has been a beacon for Malaysian entrepreneurship, recognising
individuals whose efforts have significantly propelled their respective fields
and uplifted our communities. In line with the Ministry of Entrepreneur & Cooperatives
Development (MECD), SEBA exemplifies Malaysia’s aspiration to be a globally respected entrepreneurial nation. As we embark on SEBA 2024, we are proud to broaden our embrace to include entrepreneurial talents from across ASEAN. This expansion is a pledge to deepen regional connections, stimulate innovative exchanges, and foster sustainable growth throughout our diverse region.
Yayasan Usahawan Malaysia is privileged to empower entrepreneurs and businesses across this vibrant region. In an era marked by recovery and resilience, we stand united,
cherishing our distinct identities while advancing with a common goal and vision. The year 2024 marks a new chapter where we celebrate our unique strengths and unite under a shared aspiration. It’s a year where our combined efforts will elevate not just Malaysia but the entire ASEAN region, weaving a narrative of success, innovation, and collective well-being. In the words of Nelson Mandela, ‘It always seems impossible until it’s done.’ Our journey began with a collective dream to impact our communities positively. Now, as we extend our reach to the ASEAN region, we embrace this grand opportunity to forge a future brimming with opportunity and unity for all.
