Lang International Corporate Titan Awards (LICTA) : A Strategic Platform Quietly Transforming the Future of Malaysian SMEs

In a business landscape where awards are often seen as ceremonial accolades, the Lang International Corporate Titan Awards (LICTA) is quietly redefining what it means to be recognised. For many Malaysian entrepreneurs, LICTA has become a strategic platform that opens real doors — to policy-makers, government-backed support, and exclusive influence circles. Organised by the Malaysian Game Changer Foundation (under the Prime Minister's Department) and the Global Entrepreneur Development Cooperative (registered under the Ministry of Entrepreneur and Cooperative Development), LICTA is fast gaining traction as a national-level initiative empowering small and medium enterprises (SMEs) across the country. Not Just Recognition, But Real Results LICTA goes beyond the glitz of awards night. Each recipient is strategically matched to an award that reflects their core business strength — such as Excellent Supplier of Fertiliser Products, AI-Driven Business Solutions Trailblazer, or Excellence in Corporate Social Responsibility. This custom-fit recognition is more than a title — it's a positioning tool. It helps entrepreneurs stand out in their industries, improve credibility, and attract high-level collaborations. 'It's one of the best business decisions we've ever made,' shared a group of past awardees. A Pathway to Policy, Not Just Publicity One of LICTA's biggest appeals is its behind-the-scenes access to government-linked opportunities — an area many SMEs find difficult to tap into. Through LICTA, businesses can engage in: • Closed-door dialogues with government ministries and agencies • Private business roundtables at Parliament and state offices • Direct access to institutions such as SME Bank, EXIM Bank, MARA, MyIPO, SJPP, SME Corp and others The platform helps businesses navigate soft loans, grants, honorary titles, licensing, and tax incentives — often missed due to lack of awareness or connection. 'You don't need insider links — just credible merit,' noted the organising team. No Courses, No Sales – Just Real Mentors Unlike many commercial programmes, LICTA doesn't sell courses or coaching packages. Instead, awardees are connected with real industry leaders and practitioners offering one-on-one guidance in funding, branding, digitalisation, operations and AI integration. 'They didn't just tell us what was wrong — they gave us solutions that worked,' said another recipient. Entering the Circles That Matter Beyond government access, LICTA is also a bridge to elite diplomatic and business networks. Collaborating with federal agencies, state palaces and foreign embassies, LICTA regularly hosts high-level business exchange events that are usually closed to the public. These invite-only events offer priceless visibility and relationship-building — a rare opportunity for SMEs to expand their influence. Awards for Every Business Stage Whether you're a startup or a seasoned player, LICTA offers tailored categories: • Outstanding Potential Award – For micro and early-stage businesses, offering mentorship on funding, market entry and modelling • Executive Vanguard Leadership Award – For visionaries driving long-term sector transformation Each award is backed by follow-up support and resource-matching — making it more than a symbolic win. Screening Now Open for Next Cohort Evaluation for the next LICTA award cycle is now in progress. Business owners are encouraged to apply early to gain access to full pre-award support. 'LICTA is not just an award; it's an access point — to people, to capital, and to credibility,' said the organising committee. Interested entrepreneurs can contact the organising team to apply via WhatsApp to +6012-813 9168 or +6012-979 0464.

UK seeks more high-skilled Indian professionals via Global Talent visa

The UK must strengthen its scientific and academic ties with India as the country emerges as a global force in science and technology, said Lord Patrick Vallance, Britain's minister for science, research and innovation. Speaking at the 'Unlocking UK-India Collaboration for a New Era of Innovation' session at India Global Forum's Future Frontiers Forum in London on June 20, 2025, Vallance said there is room to expand the already strong relationship through greater mobility of high-skilled professionals. 'There is already a strong relationship between India and the UK, and I think it's growing,' said Vallance. 'But government-to-government relationships on science aren't actually what drives everything. It has to be a scientist and a scientist as well. There are important academic links. I'd like to see more of that as India becomes an increasingly powerful player in the science and tech space.' He added that the UK government would unveil its new Industrial Strategy 'in a few weeks', which would set out areas of focus for international partnerships, including with India. Push for skilled migration through the Global Talent visa Vallance flagged the Global Talent visa as a key tool to facilitate movement of experts across sectors. This visa route was one of the areas touched upon in the UK government's Immigration White Paper, released in May, which proposed making the application process easier for top scientists and designers. The Global Talent visa is open to individuals working in sectors such as: Science, engineering, and medicine Humanities and social sciences Arts and culture Digital technology Unlike most UK work visas, it does not require a job offer or sponsorship. How the Global Talent visa works • Applicants must be endorsed by a recognised UK body, such as the British Academy, Royal Society, or Arts Council England • They can be classified under 'Exceptional Talent' (established leaders) or 'Exceptional Promise' (emerging leaders) • The visa offers flexibility to work for any employer, switch jobs, or be self-employed • Settlement in the UK is possible after 3 to 5 years, depending on the endorsement type • Partners and children can be included in the application • Visa duration is up to 5 years, with options to extend Special visa for top university graduates in AI In a related move, the UK government in February expanded the High Potential Individual (HPI) visa, making it easier for foreign experts in artificial intelligence to stay in the UK. Graduates from top institutions such as the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) and Carnegie Mellon University are now eligible. The HPI visa allows foreign graduates to stay in the UK for at least two years. Applicants must have completed a degree within the last five years from a university that features in at least two global rankings: Times Higher Education, QS, or the Academic Ranking of World Universities. The visa is part of the UK's broader effort to attract international talent in key areas of innovation.
