From student idea to investor case

FEIC 2026 is a regional competition for university students from Malaysia, Singapore and Vietnam. Registration, participant consultations, project development and submissions are conducted online. The Top 10 finalist teams will then be invited to Kuala Lumpur for the in-person final pitching event.

Participants begin by identifying a real-world problem and proposing an innovative yet practical solution. Through the competition, teams will develop an MVP, prepare a three-year financial model using BizPal, and transform their idea into an investor-style business proposal and pitch.

FEIC 2026 combines innovation, entrepreneurship, and financial literacy. Participants will gain practical experience in budgeting, revenue modelling, unit economics, cash flow, break-even analysis, business feasibility, teamwork, and pitching.
