FINCO National Dragons’ Den 2025

In 2025, the Good SENS programme successfully engaged 380 driven primary school students, aged 10 to 12, from 37 schools across Malaysia. With the support of over 60 mentors from the financial industry, these students gained invaluable hands-on experience in financial literacy by creating and running their own social enterprises.

Through this exciting initiative, students were challenged to develop creative solutions to societal issues while learning the fundamentals of financial literacy concepts. After months of hard work and dedication, only 10 outstanding teams were selected to present their innovative ideas live in Kuala Lumpur. These teams vied for further investment and recognition, presenting their social enterprises to an esteemed panel of judges from the financial industry.
