The Dune Introduces A New Collaborative Hub Empowering Entrepreneurs with Community, Mentorship, and Essential Business Services.
Kuala Lumpur, October 22, 2024 – As the future of work evolves, entrepreneurs increasingly require collaborative environments to thrive. Recognizing this need, The Dune @ Light Grey has officially launched—a shared working space designed for committed entrepreneurs seeking to grow within a supportive ecosystem.
Located at T6, Light Grey in Sungai Buloh, The Dune offers exclusive access to essential advisory services, incubator programs, business matching, peer-to-peer learning, and mentorship. This innovative hub aims to position itself as a comprehensive entrepreneurial ecosystem for business owners at every stage.
The launch event featured the theme “Sands of Time” and welcomed VIPs from organisations such as MDEC, Petronas, Sime Darby, and China Construction Bank (CCB). The ceremony included diverse cultural performances—such as a lion dance, an Indian classical fusion dance, and a traditional Zapin dance—providing a vibrant backdrop for networking opportunities. The event also allowed early-stage occupants like HURUF, TESS, SION LABS, and Moora to engage with industry stakeholders over lunch.
Nicholas Teh, Co-Founder of The Dune, emphasised the importance of fostering community within entrepreneurship: According to Nicholas, new entrepreneurs face obstacles such as limited business knowledge, lack of funding, and insufficient networking opportunities. For the team, success came through sharing experiences and building a network of entrepreneurs, investors, and partners. This inspired them to create The Dune where collaboration, mentorship, and learning can directly help entrepreneurs overcome these challenges.
A key differentiator of The Dune is the availability of comprehensive advisory services, covering legal, accounting, tax, and company secretarial needs. Addressing concerns such as fear of failure—which discourages 45% of Malaysians from starting businesses—The Dune focuses on creating a safe space for business owners to grow and innovate.
The hub’s partnerships with government entities and leading firms further enhance its ecosystem, giving entrepreneurs access to mentorship, financing opportunities, and strategic guidance. Through accelerator programs, workshops, and business matching services, The Dune provides the tools and connections essential for scaling businesses.
As Malaysia’s entrepreneurial landscape evolves, The Dune aims to become a key enabler of innovation and growth, offering startups and established enterprises a collaborative space to exchange ideas and secure funding. With a mission to support businesses at every stage, The Dune is committed to reshaping the entrepreneurial ecosystem in Malaysia.
