Fave provides these businesses with the necessary technology and innovative solutions to grow effectively, serving a variety of sectors including food and beverage, wellness centers and retailers.

The average age of our team is 26 years old, and we strongly believe in empowering young people to work with consumers and businesses to help them grow and achieve their aspirations, and collectively, our country’s,” shares Neoh.

In 2019, Fave plans to set-up a multi-million dollar growth fund to further support the ambitions of local entrepreneurs and provide more growth opportunities for SMEs in Malaysia.
