MAKING CITIES SUSTAINABLE, LIVABLE AND RESILIENT.

MINI, founded as an innovative response to the fuel shortage caused by the Suez Crisis, continues its legacy of innovative solutions for urban living with URBAN-X.

Launched in 2016, URBAN-X is an accelerator programme designed to nurture startups aiming to reshape city life for the better.

MINI IMPACT PROGRAMME.
In 2022, building on the success of URBAN-X, MINI introduced the MINI Impact Programme. An extension of URBAN-X's mission, the MINI Impact Programme is 4-week programme tailored to support urbantech startups in specific countries, helping them develop scalable solutions to the unique challenges their cities face.

We are excited to bring the MINI Impact Programme to Malaysia. All Malaysian startups dedicated to improving urban life are invited to apply for the MINI Impact Programme 2024. 

Let’s drive impactful change together!


WE ARE LOOKING FOR CHANGEMAKERS.

Any Malaysian can make a social impact, but not everyone can build new solutions to solve sustainable challenges.

We are looking for:

  • Early stage startups - More than a side project but not yet at Series A.
  • Hardware and/or software startups - About 50% of our startups focus on hardware (often with integrated software) and the rest on pure software.
  • Diverse sector focus within urban tech and climate tech.
  • Solo founders are welcome - But ideally a startup should have 2-3 co-founders.
  • Fluent in English - As the entire URBAN-X team works in English, all founders need to be fluent.
