ICONapps
The programme is open to teams of 2-4 multi skilled Malaysian Citizens, a team which may consist of programmers, graphic designers, animators, sound engineers, etc. This programme also offers funding assistance by providing reimbursement for training in iOS or Android Development, for any purchase of development platform and devices, purchase or license of 3rd party Software Development Kit (SDKs) and also reimbursements for any first year developer registration fee. Previous ICONapps participants are welcome to participate but will not be provided any reimbursements for any items that were claimed under the previous programme.

Among the new enhancements introduced in the ICONapps programme, the most significant one is the pitching session. A pitching session will be conducted for potential teams of developers to pitch their proposals and get selected to participate in the advanced training. Post-training coaching sessions are also conducted with the intention to help the developers to develop a commercial-quality applet, in addition to the advanced training.

Another enhancement is the Milestones Based Reimbursement. Through this process, participants will be reimbursed based on the pre-determined milestones achieved which extend from the start of the program until the applets are uploaded online for sale.
