The oil-rich Middle Eastern economies have been growing quickly in the past years. Flush with petrodollars, they have embarked on numerous ambitious large-scale projects. This has created a building boom in the Middle East that has created a strong need for outside (international) construction and engineering experience. In addition Arabs are increasingly looking to diversify their economies in preparation for when the oil runs out, which is creating opportunities in many areas, some of which are oil & gas, petrochemical, IT, healthcare, telecommunications, and Islamic finance, amongst many more.

Incidentally, this building boom has also substantially increased local retail and food needs due to the number of new foreign workers brought in. Coupled with the recent rise in oil prices and corresponding increase in disposable income, inflation is quite high, especially in the UAE and Dubai. This is leading to new opportunities for enterprising businesses. The money is definitely there. However, entering the Middle Eastern market is not as easy and straightforward as it seems.

There are many challenges for any company looking to expand and do business in the Middle East. Competition is tough, with both Eastern and Western markets looking for a slice of the oil-money pie. Middle Eastern culture plays a strong part in doing business there, and the Middle Eastern businessman has a different set of priorities than what most other businessmen are used to. Not knowing these differences can prove fatal.

Luckily, Malaysian companies have an advantage – they are viewed favourably by most Arabs due to the similarities in culture and religion, and impressions count for much with the Arabs. Malaysian companies have already secured several large, high profile contracts and projects in the Middle East, which has served to enhance the image of Malaysian companies. With this good reputation they are in a valued position to enter the Middle East markets.

Understanding the Crisis - Sourcing The Solutions

ImageGlobal food supplies are under pressure from the expanding demand for food, feed, and biofuels, the rising price of energy, increased land and water scarcity as well as the effects of climatechange. This in turn has affected the price of staple crops which has risen by as much as 70% during the last year, according to the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), with an accelerated increase seen in recent weeks. Global food shortage will cause acute social and migration problems affecting not only refuges but also citizens, instigating famines and riots and changing migration patterns and such shortage has already been seen to hit some importing countries.

MIRC Ingenious Capital Partners is a joint venture between MIRC Incubator Sdn Bhd (MIRC) and Ingenious Haus Group (IHG). MICP envisions itself to be a strong catalyst and important motivator towards successful entrepreneurship ventures by our involvement in venture capital investment. We are in the business of seeding hope to budding entrepreneurs who have the passion, drive and commitment; and simultaneously creating business values and investment returns to our stakeholders.

MICP has established a RM5 million fund, known as, the Technopreneur Venture Fund 1 (TVF1), to provide seed capital to companies in the information and communications technology (ICT) industry. MICP intends to raise additional fund of RM10 mil within the next 12 months to provide commercialization and growth funding to IT entrepreneurs.

The objective of TVF1 is to provide equity financing for start up and seed stage companies to commercialize their products and expand their business. Most technopreneurs have difficulties raising capital as they do not have track records and collaterals for business loan. As venture capital investments in the ICT industry have dried up over the years, TVF1 aims to fill in the gap and ensures new business startups have sufficient funding to build their business.

TVF1 investments will focus on “new media" businesses, mobile content and technologies, and young entrepreneurs. TVF will invest up to RM 500,000 per company.
