JCI CYEA offers young entrepreneurs the gateway to international markets. Winners have the chance to mingle and exchange ideas with entrepreneurs from overseas, international companies and governments to further explore business opportunities across industries and countries. This award is not only a platform for young entrepreneurs to grow and elevate their career but will also benefit the organisation as well as upgrade the reputation of industry and country as a whole.
At a press conference co-organised by the Junior Chamber International Ipoh at Andaman Ipoh Sales Gallery, whereby Managing Director of Andaman Property Management Sdn. Bhd. Dato’ Sri Dr. Vincent Tiew is the Ambassador of JCI Creative Young Entrepreneur Award 2016, Tiew urged, “Malaysian businesses have to be more creative in managing their business operations in view of the current economic situation. Young entrepreneurs should take part in JCI CYEA to benefit from the network and international exposure that it provides.”
The three winners of JCI CYEA 2015 were Dato’ Sri Dr Vincent Tiew, Mr Mahair Goh (Founder & CEO of Global Art & Creative Sdn Bhd) and Mr Steve Low (CEO of Tandop Hotel Sdn Bhd). Dato’ Sri Dr Vincent Tiew was selected by the CAAYE Board of Directors to be a speaker at 2015 CAAYE Summit in Putrajaya, Malaysia.
