Sarawak Startup Heads to Silicon Valley for Startup World Cup 2025

Evolving Brilliance Technologies is heading to Silicon Valley to represent East Malaysia at the Startup World Cup 2025 Grand Finale, after winning the Kuching regional final.

Held at TEGAS Digital Village, the event marked the first time the global pitch competition landed in East Malaysia. Organised by Growth Charger and backed by Cradle and TEGAS, the competition brought together ten of the region’s most promising startups.

Evolving Brilliance wowed judges with its full-stack platform for managing land-based assets—tackling agricultural productivity and environmental sustainability in one go. The team will now compete with global champions from 70+ countries for a $1 million investment prize by Pegasus Tech Ventures.

This win is part of a broader effort to bring more visibility to East Malaysia’s startup ecosystem. With support from local accelerators like Shell LiveWIRE and DiVA (Digital Village Accelerator), Sarawak’s startup scene is building serious momentum. For founders in Borneo, this is more than just a win—it’s proof that world-class innovation can come from anywhere.
