Social Entrepreneurship Summit (SES)

Malaysia's premier annual conference uniting social entrepreneurs, impact investors, and changemakers for three days of inspiring keynotes, skill-building workshops, and strategic networking opportunities.

The Social Entrepreneurship Summit has established itself as Malaysia's most influential gathering for mission-driven businesses, bringing together over 1,500 change leaders annually to catalyze partnerships that address pressing social and environmental challenges. Our signature three-day event transforms the Kuala Lumpur Convention Center into a hub of innovation, featuring global thought leaders and local pioneers sharing actionable insights on building sustainable impact ventures.

Our carefully curated program balances inspirational content with practical skill-building across four specialized tracks: Sustainable Business Models, Impact Measurement, Scaling Strategies, and Funding Pathways. Each session is designed to deliver tangible takeaways, whether you're a first-time founder with a nascent idea or an established social enterprise ready for international expansion.

The SES Impact Pitch Competition has become a launchpad for Malaysia's most promising social enterprises, with finalists presenting their solutions to a panel of international impact investors and competing for equity-free funding of up to RM100,000. Previous winners have gone on to secure millions in follow-on investment and create measurable impacts across education access, waste reduction, rural livelihood creation, and healthcare delivery.

Beyond the annual summit, our digital platform maintains community momentum year-round through monthly masterclasses, regional meetups, and our extensive resource library. Our SES Connect feature has facilitated over 300 documented collaborations between entrepreneurs, mentors, and funders, creating a powerful ecosystem that continues to strengthen Malaysia's position as Southeast Asia's emerging hub for social innovation.
