KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 6 (Bernama) -- The Malaysian Investment Development Authority (MIDA) and the Department of Federal Territories, as well as investment promotion agencies in the central region of Peninsular Malaysia, are gearing up for their flagship Central Region Programme 2025.
The programme aimed to deepen supply chain integration, strengthen regional linkages, and empower local industries to move up the value chain in the central region comprising the Federal Territories of Kuala Lumpur and Putrajaya, as well as the states of Selangor, Negeri Sembilan, and Melaka.
In a statement today, MIDA said the programme, themed “Innovating Industries, Connecting Markets”, will take place from Nov 11-12, 2025, at Royale Chulan Kuala Lumpur and is expected to bring together up to 1,000 senior representatives from leading industries, chambers of commerce, and government agencies to chart the next phase of regional industrial growth.
The programme serves as a collaborative platform to spur quality investments, drive innovation, and reinforce Malaysia’s position as a competitive and sustainable investment hub in ASEAN.
MIDA chief executive officer Datuk Sikh Shamsul Ibrahim Sikh Abdul Majid said the programme reinforces the agency’s commitment to advancing Malaysia’s industrial transformation through stronger regional ecosystems.
“The central region remains a critical hub where innovation, talent, and infrastructure converge — driving sustainable investments that align with the MADANI Economy Framework and the New Industrial Master Plan 2030,” he said.
MIDA said the two-day programme will kick off with a high-level launch and a fireside chat exploring the central region’s growth potential, particularly in the four priority industries: electrical and electronics, aerospace, pharmaceuticals, and food manufacturing.
“This will be followed by interactive sessions on strengthening Malaysia’s supply chain ecosystem and advancing digital transformation.
“Parallel to these, activities such as the MCMC Business Clinic will offer companies direct engagement with mobile network operators to explore 5G solutions and smart industry applications,” it said.
The Central Region Programme 2025 welcomes industry players and business communities seeking to explore new collaborations and gain fresh insights into Malaysia’s evolving industrial landscape.
MIDA said that the central region, which comprises Malaysia’s highly dynamic corridor, contributes nearly half of Malaysia’s gross domestic product and anchors key industries, including electronics, automotive, logistics, and digital technology.
