It is with great pride that we announce the successful launch of Striver's Hub, a groundbreaking initiative dedicated to empowering women entrepreneurs throughout Malaysia. As part of the #STRIVE Malaysia program, this initiative is more than just a program—it is a movement aimed at transforming the landscape of women-owned businesses in our nation. The launch event was a powerful testament to the collective effort needed to drive change. We are honored to have the support of YB Dato' Sri Hajah Nancy Shukri, Minister of Women, Family and Community Development (KPWKM). Her unwavering commitment to championing women entrepreneurs and her vision for a more inclusive digital economy resonate deeply with our mission. The Asia Foundation Malaysia would also like to extend our heartfelt thanks to our Mastercard partners, Safdar Khan, Beena Pothen, Subhashini (Shuba) Chandran and Jeremy Hillman, as well as our panelists, Arsalaan (Oz) Ahmed and Nadira Yusoff for their invaluable contributions and support. Each of you has played a pivotal role in bringing Striver's Hub to life, and your dedication to this cause is deeply appreciated. Striver's Hub is not just a platform; it is a community. By providing access to essential tools, such as micro-learning resources and mentorship opportunities, we are laying the groundwork for a future where more women-led businesses can succeed in the digital age. This initiative reflects a broader commitment to creating an ecosystem that nurtures potential, encourages resilience, and drives sustainable growth for women entrepreneurs. We are grateful to everyone who has been a part of this journey and look forward to the continued collaboration with our partners that will propel us forward. Together, we are not just supporting women in business—we are shaping the future of our economy. I am also exceedingly grateful to my amazing Strive team -- Sharifah Shahirah Idid, Tengku Nur Qistina, Chee Wen Eng, Syasya Roslan, and Li Yang Lau (刘立扬) for a job very very well done. You should be very proud of what you have created here. For more information, please visit www.strivershub.com. #StriversHub #WomenInBusiness #MSMEs #DigitalTransformation #StriveMastercard
