Cradle aligns with MOSTI's aspiration to generate 5,000 startups by 2025, create 10,000 high-skilled coders, and place Malaysia among the top 20 global startup ecosystems by 2030. Cradle's investment focus includes sectors such as technology, artificial intelligence, fintech, healthtech, and agritech. The agency provides funding and support to startups at various stages, including seed, early stage, Series A, Series B, and growth stages.
