MINI Malaysia announced earlier today that its global innovation initiative called the MINI Impact Program by Urban-X is now welcoming entries and submissions from local Malaysia-based startups. Specifically, the program seeks proposals for innovative and sustainable urban solutions.

Besides transformative urban solutions, this novel program was designed to help startups that are also working on developing climate technologies. Globally, this initiative began in 2022 and successfully fostered startups from Europe, America, Africa and Asia prior. This year, it has expanded to welcome entries hailing from Malaysia, the Netherlands, Japan, the UK, India, Mexico and Italy.

Running for four weeks, the MINI Impact Program offers selected startups with an opportunity to participate in a comprehensive development process. It encompasses a three-week remote participation period before culminating with a final week-long stint at the Urban-X headquarters in New York City.
