Healthtech
But we know we cannot go at it alone.
This is why we invite collaborators – innovative companies large and small, technology partners, government and researchers – to come along on this journey.

what we offer

Co-creation At Speed And Scale

Rapidly changing business dynamics calls for rapid co-creation at speed and scale.

 

This is where HLX comes in to incubate corporate innovation by curating structured interaction

points for partners to co-create transformative solutions.

 

HLX is the corporate innovation gateway of the Hong Leong Group. We also develop programs in partnership with other large corporations.

Fast-Tracked Access For Transformation

Backed by the Hong Leong Group, HLX offers start-ups and new ideas unbeatable access to diverse industries, from financial services to manufacturing, property, leisure, fast-moving consumer goods and healthcare.

 

HLX also offers access to the Hong Leong Group’s geographical footprint, across Asia Pacific and Europe. This access translates to opportunities to test, prototype and launch new ventures across multiple markets in a flash.

Capital With A Cause

HLX curates crucial funding access by leveraging on a network of venture capital funds, family offices, angel investors and corporate special-purpose acquisition vehicles. But this is not just funding for funding’s sake.

 

We believe in synergistic funding relationships that come with mentorship, advisory and money-cannot-buy networking opportunities.

Talent For The Future

The future is in people. This is why HLX is also the home for HLX Academy. This is where we steer the conversation on talent for the future.

 

HLX Academy’s mandate is to upskill Malaysia’s workforce of tomorrow by training tomorrow’s workforce today.

 

We do this through training programmes, structured internships, exclusive access for fresh graduates, skills certification and fulfilling career opportunities.
