What happened

Sidec announced 24 finalists (8 per track) for the Selangor Triple Accelerator Programme 2026, winnowed from 511 applications and 90 participating startups across three tracks: Deep-X (deep tech), Retail-X, and Token-X (blockchain). Showcase Days ran August 18-20 at Menara Affin, TRX, Kuala Lumpur, with the Grand Final still ahead. Notable Deep-X finalists include Al MSP 365 and Sono Holding; Token-X includes BLOX Blockchain and Xtractify.

Why it matters

If you are a Malaysian founder considering applying next cycle, the track structure (Deep-X, Retail-X, Token-X) and the 511-to-24 funnel tell you what Sidec is prioritizing and how competitive entry is. The finalist list is a networking map—these are 24 companies now visible in Selangor's ecosystem that may be seeking partners, hires, or co-founders.

Discussion angle

Look at the Deep-X finalist names—how many are genuinely deep-tech/AI vs. general enterprise IT, and what does that say about the maturity of Selangor's deep-tech pipeline?
