1MET Bootcamp

The 1MET program is a series of intense hands on entrepreneurship bootcamps designed to sensitize nascent and first time entrepreneurs in the basics of entrepreneurship i.e. venture building. The bootcamps are also highly suitable for entrepreneurs already owning small businesses and would like to learn the rudiments of venture building to enable them to rethink the direction of their respective businesses. The 1MET is part of the National Blue Ocean Strategy (NBOS) initiative. NBOS is an integral part of the Government’s drive to transform Malaysia into a developed country and it focuses on the social transformation agenda. The objective of the transformation agenda, along with the Economic Transformation Program (ETP) and the Government Transformation Program (GTP) is to help move Malaysia to become a high-income nation. A high-income nation comprises of individuals who are entrepreneurial and are able to create value and keep moving up the value chain. The 1MeT initiative was proposed on 18 June 2013 during a National Blue Ocean Strategy Summit, as a holistic approach that cuts across and increases collaboration within various government agencies, NGOs and private sector entrepreneurship entities and networks in the country.
