MRANTI – GAP

“The main aims of GAP are empowerment and problem-solving. It functions as a catalyst for companies, equipping them with the necessary resources and network to navigate the complexities of growth and upscaling.

“In doing so, GAP helps them make a meaningful difference in their industries and beyond by addressing ongoing issues that affect the public in real-time. V-Farm, for example, introduced an effective vertical gardening solution which addressed food security and environmental concerns,” shares Safuan Zairi, Chief Ecosystem Officer of MRANTI

“We do not just hand out resources, we help our participants use them to their fullest potential for maximum impact, both for national development, and the benefit of the rakyat.”
