PUTRAJAYA, 4 July 2026 – Bateriku participated in the Simposium Peruncitan Kebangsaan (SParK) 2026: Transformasi Niaga, an annual event organised by Perbadanan Usahawan Nasional Berhad (PUNB) that brings together entrepreneurs from various industries across Malaysia.
Held over two days from 4 to 5 July 2026 at the IOI Grand Exhibition & Convention Centre, Putrajaya, Bateriku's participation reflects the company's continued commitment as Rakan Usahawan PUNB since 2016 to strengthening Malaysia's entrepreneurial ecosystem while expanding access to comprehensive automotive mobility solutions.
Bateriku Joins SParK 2026 to Strengthen Its Commitment to Malaysia's Entrepreneurship and Mobility Ecosystem
Carrying the theme "Menerajui Perubahan, Membina Legasi," SParK 2026 was divided into two key segments: the Niaga Forum and the SParK Bazar. Through its exhibition booth at the SParK Bazar, Bateriku engaged with PUNB entrepreneurs, business communities, and members of the public, introducing them to the company's integrated automotive ecosystem.
Throughout the exhibition, visitors had the opportunity to learn more about Bateriku's core services, including its on-demand car battery replacement service, roadside assistance, nationwide Pitstop network, and digital automotive solutions that enable motorists to receive assistance quickly and conveniently.
Prime Minister Launches SParK 2026
The official opening ceremony of SParK 2026 was officiated by Malaysia's Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, who announced the government's commitment to increase PUNB's financing allocation to RM2.25 billion for the 2026–2030 period, subject to the agency's performance.
The announcement forms part of PUNB's R30 Strategic Framework, a long-term initiative aimed at approving up to RM2.25 billion in financing to accelerate the growth of Bumiputera businesses, create high-quality employment opportunities, enhance companies' scalability, and strengthen Malaysia's key supply chains.
To further empower local businesses, PUNB also introduced three new financing initiatives: PROSPER GROW BIZ EXPRESS, PROSPER GROW FUEL UP, and PROSPER GROW AUTO BIZ. These programmes are designed to improve access to financing, strengthen working capital, and support high-growth industries, including the automotive sector.
As a Malaysian company that has built a technology-driven automotive ecosystem, Bateriku welcomes these initiatives, recognising their potential to create greater opportunities for local entrepreneurs to scale and grow sustainably.
Business Forum Highlights Industry Insights and Future Growth
Following the opening ceremony, the Business Forum featured sharing sessions from distinguished corporate leaders and successful entrepreneurs. Speakers included Tan Sri Abdul Wahid Omar, Tan Sri Johan Jaaffar, Pinn Yang, Founder of Foodie Media, as well as entrepreneurs representing Pops Malaya and Bayu Somerset.
The forum addressed current business challenges, digital transformation, brand development, innovation, and strategies for ensuring Malaysian businesses remain competitive in an increasingly dynamic economic landscape.
For Bateriku, the forum served not only as a valuable learning platform but also as an opportunity to build meaningful strategic relationships with fellow entrepreneurs who share the common goal of driving Malaysia's economic growth.
