SEBA 2025 Theme: ASEAN and Beyond Boundaries

As we embark on our 12th, 13th and 14th edition with SEBA, we eagerly anticipate a future defined by our new theme ‘ASEAN and Beyond Boundaries.’ We are not only celebrating our past accomplishments; we are also laying the groundwork for a legacy of innovation and partnership across the ASEAN region. On another note, we’re also proud to be the inaugural recognition platform that accepts digital currencies in the form of Bitcoin and Ethereum.

As we advance into 2025, we eagerly anticipate a future defined by our new theme, ‘Beyond Boundaries.’  This year, our vision will extend beyond the vibrant landscape of Malaysia to embrace the entire ASEAN region including China and India, highlighting the spirit of entrepreneurial unity and cross-cultural collaboration that would allow connections, communications and conversions that would allow more robust economic growth. 

SEBA is not just another recognition platform.  Our aim is to create tailored growth strategies, enhanced by the arrangement of bespoke retreats, tailored workshops, and curated mentorship. Furthermore, SEBA recipients will have the opportunity to participate in special “by invitation-only” events through SEBA Elite Club (SEC). SEBA signifies a dedication to nurturing and attaining excellence.

We invite all businesses and entrepreneurs to submit their nominations and engage in this program. A SEBA winner will stand as a paragon of leadership and establish a standard within their industry.

I would like to convey my sincere gratitude to everyone who has joined us on this journey, including our dedicated partners, our devoted team, the visionary entrepreneurs, and our respected colleagues throughout the ASEAN region. Collectively, we constitute a formidable alliance, guiding our nations toward a future characterized by growth and mutual prosperity.

Established in 2016, SEBA has served as a guiding light for Malaysian entrepreneurship, honoring individuals whose contributions have significantly advanced their fields and uplifted our communities. In alignment with the Ministry of Entrepreneur and Cooperatives Development (MECD), SEBA embodies Malaysia’s ambition to be recognized as a globally respected entrepreneurial nation. As we embark on SEBA 2025, we are excited to extend our reach to include entrepreneurial talents from across ASEAN. This expansion signifies our commitment to strengthening regional ties, fostering innovative exchanges, and promoting sustainable growth throughout our diverse region.

Yayasan Usahawan Malaysia is honored to empower entrepreneurs and businesses across this vibrant area. In a time defined by recovery and resilience, we stand together, valuing our unique identities while pursuing a common goal and vision. The year 2025 heralds a new chapter in which we celebrate our distinct strengths and unite under a shared aspiration. For the first time in history, this year, our collective efforts will elevate not only Malaysia but the entire ASEAN region, crafting a narrative of success, innovation, and collective well-being. As Nelson Mandela once said, ‘It always seems impossible until it’s done.’ Our journey commenced with a shared dream to make a meaningful impact on our communities.
