GEORGE TOWN, March 27 — The SME and Entrepreneurs Business Awards 2022 held its inaugural northern edition in Penang by honouring 27 industry players in Langkawi, Perlis, Kedah, Penang and Perak last night.
The founder of SEBA and chairman of Yayasan Usahawan Malaysia, Nitesh Malani, said they decided to introduce a northern edition of SEBA this year in support of the state’s efforts to nurture local talents in line with Penang2030. “Penang recorded a total RM76.2 billion in foreign direct investments for 2021, a record high for the state, so this proved that Penang is the place for investments, business and tourism,” he said.
The SEBA 2022 Northern Edition, themed: “Rise Up”, received almost 200 nominations of industry leaders in Langkawi, Perlis, Kedah, Penang and Perak.
