Structured access to a curated pipeline

Aligned with Malaysia's Agrofood Policy 2021 to 2030, the National Food Security Policy and the Twelfth Malaysia Plan, with KPKM as programme endorser.

Over 120 companies evaluated; a maximum of 30 selected by an independent committee with senior leadership from Securities Commission Malaysia and Impact Circle.

Late seed to Series A companies with annual revenue typically between RM3 million and RM5 million and above, existing investors and protected IP.

Living Labs across 13 states and 10+ committed corporates convert investment readiness into contracts, the part most programmes leave to chance.

Malaysia’s agrifoodtech ecosystem has produced a pipeline of deep-tech innovators addressing the full spectrum of food systems challenges — from precision agriculture and aquaculture intelligence to sustainable packaging and alternative proteins.

Yet despite the quality of these innovations, many promising companies remain unable to access the capital, market linkages, and operational capabilities required for commercial scale.

The structural gap is not a shortage of ideas. It is the absence of a dedicated, sovereign-aligned infrastructure to bridge innovation with investment and deployment at national scale.

ScaleX is designed as the next stage of ecosystem development — supporting the most promising companies from the GrowMatch and MYCIF cohorts to accelerate growth, strengthen investment readiness, and expand into regional markets.

This programme bridges the critical gap between innovation and investment readiness, positioning Malaysia as a regional leader in agrifoodtech commercialization while directly supporting national food security objectives.

ScaleX targets more mature agrifoodtech companies ready for significant scaling and institutional investment, specifically focusing on Stage 3: Pre-Series A / Series A companies.
