Shah alam: The Selangor Triple Accelerator Programme 2026 Showcase, held from Aug 18 to 20, provided 90 startups with a platform for live pitching, product showcases, and industry engagement, enabling them to build, refine, and strengthen their businesses.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, the event was organized by the Selangor Information Technology and Digital Economy Corporation (Sidec) and featured three accelerator tracks: Deep-X, Retail-X, and Token-X. Participants pitched their businesses and showcased their innovations to panels of industry experts and ecosystem leaders.

The event brought together startups from various sectors, including Web3, blockchain, fintech, artificial intelligence, healthtech, agritech, retail, e-commerce, and consumer technology.

These finalists will advance to the Grand Final Demo Day at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre on Oct 14, 2026, with 24 finalists competing for top honors.

A total of 12 winners across the three programmes will be recognized, each receiving an international trip, access to investment and networking opportunities, as well as a trophy and certificate.
