The SEEDLAB OPEN DAY 2024 powered by PETRONAS and TCS, was a resounding success. Held from July 11th to 13th, 2024, at Galaxy Hall, Petrosains, the event provided a platform for SAGEMAKER ASIA to showcase our innovative approach to empowering low-income, women led household.
The event featured a series of interactive exhibits and activities that highlighted SAGEMAKER ASIA’s mission to uplift marginalized women by transforming their lives through creativity and community. Attendees had the unique opportunity to:
- Sewing Experiences: Visitors stepped into the shoes of low-income single mothers, participating in the Quilt of Hope project. Each participant contributed to a collaborative patchwork quilt, symbolizing unity and support for these women.
- Interactive Exhibits: Guests learned about SAGEMAKER ASIA’s mission, exploring how the organization empowers women through fair wages, upskilling, and sustainable business practices.
- Product Testing: Parents of children aged 3-5 years were among the first to test and provide feedback on SAGEMAKER ASIA’s innovative educational products before their official launch.

The open day attracted significant attention from key stakeholders, with representatives from notable organizations including Yayasan Khazanah, Axiata Foundation, Aras Mega, Biji Biji Initiative, Yayasan Inovasi Malaysia, and Hong Leong Bank Foundation. These conversations opened doors for future collaborations, strengthening SAGEMAKER ASIA’s network and impact.
We also received invaluable support from individual experts and industry professionals who were impressed with our products and shared their insights on enhancing our business model.
In addition to engaging with stakeholders, the event provided SAGEMAKER ASIA with critical industry insights. Experts from various fields shared their knowledge, offering guidance that will help us refine our strategies and scale our impact. The overwhelming support and positive feedback from attendees reaffirmed the value of our mission and the potential for growth.
The “Crafting Change” Open Day was more than just an exhibition; it was a celebration of creativity, community, and the collective effort to empower marginalized women.
