We are thrilled to announce that CarbonGPT, co-founded by Dr. Matthew Wong and Dr. Ivan Ling, has been accepted into the prestigious MyHeart Innovate Malaysia Accelerator program. This opportunity marks an exciting milestone in our journey to revolutionize sustainability reporting with AI-powered solutions. Joining the latest cohort of the Future Worlds Cohort 24, CarbonGPT will now have the chance to scale its impact in Malaysia and beyond.
What is the MyHeart Innovate Malaysia Accelerator?
The MyHeart Innovate Malaysia Accelerator, led by TalentCorp Group, a Malaysian Government Agency, in collaboration with Cradle investment fund and Beyond4, is designed to help Malaysian startups based overseas scale their businesses back in Malaysia. The program offers essential support, including business and legal insights tailored to the Malaysian market, as well as valuable connections that will help startups expand and thrive in Southeast Asia.
By being selected for this accelerator, CarbonGPT gains access to this strategic partnership, which will enhance our ability to make a significant impact on businesses' sustainability efforts, particularly in the wake of upcoming government regulations.
CarbonGPT: Empowering Businesses with AI-Driven Sustainability Solutions
CarbonGPT was founded by Dr. Matthew Wong, an expert in ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance), climate finance, and corporate sustainability, and Dr. Ivan Ling, a specialist in machine learning, data analytics, and data storytelling. The company’s mission is to make sustainability accessible and manageable for businesses of all sizes.
CarbonGPT provides a cloud-based AI platform that acts as a “virtual Chief Sustainability Officer” for organizations. It helps businesses track, report, and manage their carbon emissions, making compliance with regulatory requirements more efficient and cost-effective. By automating Greenhouse Gas (GHG) reporting, carbon accounting, and decarbonization roadmaps, CarbonGPT allows businesses to save time and resources while ensuring the accuracy and credibility of their sustainability reports.
A Breakthrough Year for CarbonGPT
2024 has been a transformative year for CarbonGPT. In addition to securing a spot in the MyHeart Innovate Malaysia Accelerator, the company has seen a surge of activity in both Malaysia and Singapore, as governments are pushing forward with national carbon emission legislation. These developments have driven rapid uptake of CarbonGPT’s products, further positioning the company as a leader in the field of AI-driven sustainability.
This summer, CarbonGPT had the opportunity to showcase its technology at the Kuala Lumpur Startup Summit, as well as appear on national TV, spreading awareness about the importance of carbon management and the role technology plays in achieving sustainability goals. The timing of CarbonGPT’s entry into the MyHeart Innovate program aligns perfectly with the company’s increasing visibility and growth in Southeast Asia.
The Road Ahead: Excitement and Challenges for the Team
Dr. Ivan Ling, co-founder of CarbonGPT, expressed his enthusiasm about the accelerator, stating, “MyHeart Innovate Malaysia is coming at a very exciting time for CarbonGPT. We are really starting to see the impact of what we are doing and are preparing for a significant inflection point. It’s challenging balancing everything that we need to (and lecturing to students as well!), but life as a startup founder is full of challenges—that’s what makes it so exciting.”
The future looks bright for CarbonGPT as it continues to expand its presence and impact in Southeast Asia, driving businesses toward more sustainable practices through innovative AI solutions.
A Word from Future Worlds
Dr. Alice Iles, Head of Tech Acceleration at Future Worlds, also shared her thoughts on CarbonGPT’s success: “It was great having Ivan and CarbonGPT as part of Cohort 24. They brought so much energy and positivity to the group. I’m delighted that they are making progress in their startup journey and can’t wait for further announcements.”
