Empowering Startups Across ASEAN: Printcious Sponsors Cradle LIVE! Startup ASEAN Summit 2025
Printcious is proud to have been one of the official sponsors for Cradle LIVE! Startup ASEAN Summit 2025, a three-day celebration of innovation, entrepreneurship, and regional collaboration. Organized by Cradle Fund Malaysia, this event brought together founders, investors, and ecosystem builders from across the ASEAN region to exchange insights, showcase startups, and ignite cross-border opportunities.
As a Cradle CIP500 grant recipient back in 2016, Printcious’s journey was shaped by the guidance, funding, and support provided by Cradle. This sponsorship marks a full-circle moment, our way of giving back to the ecosystem that helped us grow from an early-stage startup into one of Malaysia’s leading corporate merchandise and printing companies.
A Three-Day Celebration of Innovation and Founders
The Cradle LIVE! Startup ASEAN Summit 2025 was a dynamic, three-day program that showcased the diversity and creativity of ASEAN’s startup scene.
Day 1: PLUGIN @ Heritage Row, Kuala Lumpur
Day one kicked off with PLUGIN, an immersive experience designed to ignite Malaysia’s startup energy. The event featured inspiring panel discussions, candid founder sharing sessions, and interactive booth showcases from rising early-stage ventures. It was a vibrant display of ideas, passion, and the entrepreneurial spirit that defines Malaysia’s innovation landscape.
Participants had the opportunity to connect with founders, explore new business models, and experience firsthand how startups are transforming industries from tech to lifestyle.
Day 2: Startup ASEAN Summit @ JioSpace, Petaling Jaya
The energy continued on Day 2 with a regional focus. The Startup ASEAN Summit hosted at JioSpace brought together key activation programs that blended technology, creativity, and community spirit.
Highlights included:
Those with the ASEAN Pro Pass gained access to exclusive sessions such as ASEAN CrossConnect, a curated matchmaking platform linking founders with investors and mentors. In addition, workshops and star mentor sessions offered founders practical strategies to elevate their ventures to the next level.
Day 3: Grand Finale at ZeppKL, Lalaport
The final day at ZeppKL brought together the entire community for an electrifying finale. The program featured global keynotes, high-stakes panel discussions, startup showcases, and an incredible fusion of culture and technology.
It was not just a conference, it was a celebration of bold dreams, regional unity, and entrepreneurial courage.
Why Printcious Sponsored Cradle LIVE!
At Printcious, our story is deeply intertwined with Malaysia’s startup ecosystem. Back in 2016, we were one of the proud recipients of Cradle’s CIP500 grant, which played a crucial role in fueling our early growth and go-to-market strategy.
That support empowered us to build a strong foundation, transforming from a small startup into a leading B2B merchandise printing brand serving corporate clients, event organizers, and entrepreneurs across Malaysia and beyond.
By sponsoring Cradle LIVE! Startup ASEAN Summit 2025, we wanted to give back to the community that once believed in us. It was our way of saying “thank you” to Cradle, and to the wider startup ecosystem that continues to nurture and inspire innovation.

How Event Organizers Can Impress Attendees with Merchandise
Memorable event merchandise can create lasting impressions that extend far beyond the event day. Here are a few ways organizers can enhance their events with creative branding ideas:
Stickers act as mini billboards. When attendees paste them on their laptops, bottles, or phones, they continue promoting your event long after it’s over.
Useful, durable, and reusable non-woven bags not only serve a practical purpose but also reflect your brand’s commitment to sustainability.
Matching shirts bring professionalism and unity to your team while strengthening brand recognition among participants and sponsors.
At Printcious, we help event organizers create merchandise that attendees genuinely love turning every shirt, sticker, and tote bag into a powerful storytelling tool for your brand.
