Bfm Enterprise Breakaway 2014 The BFM Enterprise Breakaway was BFM s first on-the-ground event back in 2011 and today, it remains one of our most anticipated events every year with entrepreneurship continuing to be one of our biggest focus and passions. Now in its fourth year, we believe that the BFM Enterprise Breakaway is the only annual conference and exhibition that truly keeps the entrepreneurial spirit burning brightly with inspiring success stories, honest conversations and real world lessons. Join us on the 19th of September at Connexion @ Nexus, Bangsar South, as we push the boundaries with you to take your business to greater heights. Proudly Made In Malaysia Made in Malaysia has long been synonymous with bad quality, poor service and lousy design and packaging. This has led to a lack of support for Malaysian products and services both locally and globally. Although this is changing, we believe that much still needs to be done to rethink and rebrand what it means to be made in Malaysia. Hence, this year, we decided on the theme Proudly Made in Malaysia. Whether it is producing high quality goods and services, delivering superior customer experience or creating cutting-edge design and innovations, we hope to inspire a new generation of entrepreneurs who will raise the bar, commit to global standards and transform Made in Malaysia into a world-class brand. What to expect this year? Be Part of the Proudly Made in Malaysia Movement Stand Out and Pop Up! Breakaway Grill with Malek Ali! At this year s BFM Enterprise Breakaway, we will attempt to rebuild Made in Malaysia by shining the spotlight on entrepreneurs and business owners who have set high benchmarks for their businesses and have been rewarded for their efforts. Hear from them to get insights into what it takes to commit your business to global standards and how it can benefit you in the long term. To keep with the spirit of Proudly Made in Malaysia, we have handpicked and offered a number of outstanding businesses pop-up booths to showcase their products and services. These are the best in class businesses from Malaysia that that have committed themselves to excellence. Some of them have already penetrated the global market successfully but all of them have set standards that we should aspire to achieve. Yes! You get a chance to grill Malek again! Malek Ali is the Founder of BFM Media and his entrepreneurial journey has been anything but easy. Like many of you, he has had his fair share of highs and lows. In the Breakaway Grill session, you will get a chance to ask him questions relating to business management, sustainability, innovation and expansion. 2
