K-TECH ASEAN GATEWAY: The KL Premiere 2026 is an invite-only evening curated by LUMA to connect Korea’s most promising technology startups with Malaysia’s venture capital firms, corporate investors, and industry leaders.
This showcase is designed for actionable outcomes — cross-border investment, strategic partnerships, and real market entry into Malaysia and Southeast Asia.
🚀 Why This Event Matters
The six startups featured in this showcase have been carefully selected based on:
Proven commercial traction or institutional validation
Technology defensibility and scalability
Clear ASEAN market expansion strategies
They represent high-growth sectors where Korean innovation is already gaining global relevance:
AI-powered Digital Health & Diagnostics
Smart Infrastructure, Construction & Industrial SaaS
