Plenary Session 1: Youths as Entrepreneurs

Joel Neoh
Entrepreneur / CEO of Groupon Malaysia & Taiwan

Joel is at the forefront of the next generation in entrepreneurship.

His first successful business venture was a million ringgit student agency start-up at age 20 while still in university.

At age 23, Joel made waves in the business scene when he won Malaysia's first corporate reality television programme, The Firm as the youngest contestant.  He then co-founded Youth Asia and expanded it into a group of award winning internet companies.

Joel is currently the CEO of Groupon Malaysia as well as Groupon Taiwan - both part of the NASDAQ public-listed Groupon [GRPN], the world's fastest growing company ever (noted by Forbes).

Joel was published on the cover of Men's Health Magazine and recently named to both the "Malaysia Top 40 Under 40" and "Men of the Year" list.
