TEXPO.asia 2012 is a unique
international platform for doing things together. It encompasses four areas: Enterpreneurship, Technology,
Finance and Opportunities and it connects four parties: the private sector,
public sector, social communities and also the youths.
It is intended to awaken the
entrepreneurial spirit around Asia and to help identify successful
enterprisers in various sectors. Apart
from that, the expo helps the development of a "learning and sharing"
culture that may also spawn a sense of social responsibility among the budding
entrepreneurs.
The Expo has 4 concurrent
events that take place in the month of October and November. These are the SEeD
(Sabah Entrepreneur Day), the Cash Flow Tournament, the D.A.R.E Bizstart Sabah
and the SEeD Summit. The SEeD (Sabah Entrepreneur Day) which was held on the 30th
of October at Wisma Bandaraya, is a bi-monthly event which provides a platform
to learn, share and to explore new business opportunities.
The Cash Flow Tournament
gives 64 entrepreneurs a chance to master their interpersonal skills, cash flow
management, strategic planning and a positive attitude. To be held at Wisma
Bandaraya on the 24th of November, the tournament participants are going to
challenge themselves to the World Famous Business Game Cashflow 101.
The D.A.R.E Bizstart Sabah
(acronym for 'dare to start business in Sabah') is open to the public. It will
be held at the 1 Borneo Grand Ballroom from the 27th to 28th November. This
will be helpful to those who are thinking of starting or expanding business in
this region. There will be 100 exhibition booths along with 30 workshops. Apart
from that, there will also be more than 50 talks given by more than 60 invited
speakers.
On the 29th of November, the
SEeD Summit will be held at the 1 Borneo Grand Ballroom but the event will only
admit those who have tickets. As in the
previous night there will be keynote speakers to share their ideas and
experiences.
Datuk Dr. Yee Moh Chai,
Deputy Chief Minister and Minister of Resource Development and Information
technology congratulated the organizers, SEA (Sabah West Coast Entrepreneur
Network Association) , MAD inc and MCMC (Malaysian Communications and
Multimedia Commission) for receiving an overwhelming participation on their
first TEXPO.asia Expo.
"The KPSKTM believe
that entrepreneurship in all areas should be encouraged and we would like
provide the opportunity and possible platforms for any interested individual to
have a chance to excel in this area especially those in Sabah," he said. (Insight
