VIFE 2025 opened with a welcoming speech by Datuk Haji Ir. Khalilur Rahman Ebrahim, Chairman of VentureTECH. He highlighted the readiness of Malaysian companies to compete globally and stressed that real progress comes from solving real world problems. He also emphasized the importance of transparent partnerships, stronger collaboration between government, industry and academia, and the need to build Bumiputera leadership in high value sectors.
With the theme Driving Innovation, Creating Impact, he reaffirmed VentureTECH’s mandate to expand Bumiputera participation, strengthen management capabilities, and unlock global market access. VentureTECH’s investment portfolio now stands at RM2.5 billion across more than 30 Bumiputera led companies, proving that meaningful collaborations can deliver measurable outcomes.
Malaysia Must Shift from User to Creator
In her keynote address, Deputy Minister of Economy Dato Hajjah Hanifah Hajar Taib described VIFE as a strategic platform for building a resilient economy. She stated that Malaysia must move from being a technology user to becoming a technology creator, especially through stronger Bumiputera companies in future focused sectors.
She highlighted how RMK13 and PuTERA35 complement each other in building a productivity driven, digitally powered, green and high value economy. She also noted VentureTECH’s role in helping local companies reach global standards. Innovation, she said, must answer real needs, including disaster response and emergency support through drone technology and smart systems.
Her message was clear. Competitive advantage today depends on the ability to create value, operate efficiently, and solve real world problems. The future will be shaped by the decisions and partnerships we build now.
Bateriku: Driving Innovation On The Road
At Bateriku, our mission aligns strongly with VIFE 2025. We serve road users every day, and we innovate not for trends but for impact. We introduced BHero, a crowdsourced technician model inspired by the efficiency of food delivery platforms.

For our BGarage customers, we rolled out Pick N Drop and Drop N Go services to save time and remove the hassle of car maintenance.
On the digital front, our system now allows customers to request help within seconds. By simply sharing a car plate number, the platform identifies the car brand and the correct battery type. Customers can choose from a wide range of products, including our GPA Takaful covered Astra, Century, Amaron and more. Everything starts from a simple form on our website. These solutions allow Malaysians to get 24/7 on demand assistance, anywhere in the country.
