Five enterprises named state winners of Shell LiveWire Malaysia 2025
This year's winners are Earnest Grower Sdn Bhd, Lorry System Sdn Bhd, Mensilin Green Energy Sdn Bhd, Midwest Composites Sdn Bhd and Rebooz Technology Sdn Bhd.
Shell said the participants began their journey with an intensive bootcamp aimed at strengthening their entrepreneurial capabilities.
Ten promising finalists were shortlisted for the final pitching round, where they presented compelling business plans and demonstrated strong potential for innovation and growth.
Each of the five winning enterprises received a RM10,000 startup grant from Shell, along with a year-long business coaching programme to support their strategic development and business expansion.
The winners also gain access to the global LiveWire network, an international community of entrepreneurs where they can exchange ideas, share experiences and potentially be shortlisted for the prestigious Shell Global Top Ten Innovators Awards.
Shell general manager of business operations for Kuala Lumpur Syed Hussain Taha said witnessing the passion and determination of local talents has reinforced his belief in the positive impact of the initiative.
He said it enables individuals to build sustainable businesses that not only drive their own growth, but also benefit communities and create valuable employment opportunities.
"I personally encourage all budding entrepreneurs to take part in this programme, which offers the guidance, tools, and support needed to turn dreams into reality," he added.

Launched in Sabah in 2015, followed by Sarawak in 2016 and Peninsular Malaysia in 2022, the programme aims to inspire young entrepreneurs to develop innovative, practical business solutions that address current socio-economic challenges.
