SEEd.Lab, or Social Enterprise Education Laboratory, an incubator programme powered by Petronas and Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) debuted six social ventures from its second cohort at its Open House, which was held at Petrosains, Suria KLCC from 4 to 6 August 2022.

The Open Day is an avenue for the programme’s participants, dubbed SEEd.lings, to showcase the solutions they are developing and validating for their respective social ventures over the course of 12 to 18 months.

The SEEd.lings had the opportunity to share findings from their market validation and impact created thus far through their minimum lovable products (MLP), whilst rallying support from industry leaders and ecosystem players towards their social ventures.

“The three social enterprises from our first cohort have collectively impacted more than 10,000 lives and counting. However, it takes a concerted effort from all individuals and groups, organisations large and small to create an ecosystem for impactful, widespread and lasting social change to happen.

“This year’s Open Day for Cohort 2 is not only a platform for these six new social ventures to showcase their ideas and validate their proposed solutions, but also rally more partners and supporters to collectively create a more positive impact for Malaysian communities,” said Aidonna Jun Ayub, the Programme Manager at SEEd.Lab.

For its second cohort, SEEd.Lab aims to address specific social challenges that exist within four domains, including Food & Agriculture, Health & Hygiene, Education & Skills, and Personal & Financial Security.

As the main forces behind SEEd.Lab, Petronas and TCS contribute their resources to accelerate the journey of these social enterprises by providing business and leadership mentoring, technical expertise for solution development, funding for solutions, market testing and commercialisation, to name a few.

The graduates from the programme will then continue to have access to the support system built within their time in SEEd.Lab for the next 12 months.
