Malaysia is a prominent player in ASEAN, and this study gives a thorough analysis of the entrepreneurial landscape there, focusing on critical aspects that have been under-explored in previous studies. It examines the many stakeholders' roles in the entrepreneurship ecosystem and how they might work together to foster an entrepreneurial mindset. This study analyzes the dynamics of investment by various financial institutions, including banks, angel investors, and venture capitalists, and explains why and how they back various enterprises. In addition, this study provides a comprehensive analysis of sustainable digital entrepreneurship and emphasizes its potential to disrupt established forms of doing business. The impact of public policy on the business sector is also examined. The study concludes with a discussion of theories of entrepreneurial goals, with a spotlight on the successes and setbacks experienced by women in Malaysia's startup scene. The study's findings yield useful suggestions that can be put into practice in other areas to encourage the development of an entrepreneurial spirit.
