Carsome mobility lab unveils five-up and rising stars 

Five mobility startups presented their innovative pilot projects today during the Carsome Mobility Lab Demo Day before industry leaders and investors at McLaren Kuala Lumpur. 

Established in partnership between Carsome and Sunway Innovation Labs (iLabs), the 4-month Carsome Mobility Lab Accelerator Program is the first auto ecosystem-focused accelerator in Malaysia and ASEAN, that aims to support up and rising startups in their innovation, funding and scaling journey. 

“We look forward to continuously supporting these startups alongside Carsome, who have been a very engaging partner in strengthening the talent pool and accelerating innovation in our ecosystem.” said Matt van Leeuwen, Chief Innovation Officer of Sunway Group and Director of Sunway iLabs.
their respective pilot projects stand to receive an investment of up to US$25,000 from the Carsome Mobility Lab, to further extend their impact and complement CARSOME and Sunway in the wider automotive ecosystem.

As a fellow startup founder himself, Carsome Co-founder and Group CEO Eric Cheng shared his excitement upon witnessing the birth of next generation mobility startups. “We are honoured to play an integral part of the accelerator program and provide guidance to up-and-rising startups. Through this program, we hope to find a partner capable of delivering cutting-edge innovation to strengthen our ecosystem and offering as we continue to deliver an elevated car ownership experience to our customers.” 

Under the mentorship from Carsome and Sunway iLabs, these five startups brought forward unique propositions and presented their progress to Carsome and Sunway's management team, prominent venture capitals, angel investors and industry leaders.

Carsome is committed to continue innovating the mobility ecosystem and collaborate with synergistic startups to drive business growth, create new products and services, and optimize productivity through project integrations within Carsome’s ecosystem. These partnerships complement CARSOME’s ongoing efforts to eliminate industry pain points, instill greater trust and transparency in the ecosystem, and ultimately bring about a delightful customer experience.
