Industry Advisory Panel: Driving Growth Through Strategic Expertise

The Industry Advisory Panel (IAP) brings together leaders and experts from diverse sectors, providing Knowledge Group of Companies with invaluable guidance and industry connections. Their involvement strengthens every stage of event planning and delivery, ensuring each Knowledge Group of Companies event is relevant, impactful, and aligned with the latest industry trends.

Building on this, the Industry Advisory Panel (IAP) plays a crucial role in supporting government projects, entrepreneurs, and the B40 community by ensuring KGC’s events align with national priorities such as digital economy growth, entrepreneurship development, and financial inclusion. They provide mentorship, business clinics, and tailored workshops that create meaningful opportunities for startups and SMEs, including those led by B40 entrepreneurs. Additionally, the IAP advocates for connecting underserved entrepreneurs with government assistance, training, and funding programs, helping to overcome barriers to business registration and growth, thereby empowering the B40 community to participate more fully in the economy.
