On 24 January 2024, MIDA’s Transportation Technology Division, in collaboration with BMW Group, has successfully organised a ‘BMW Supplier Day’ at MIDA Sentral. The objective of this event was to connect local suppliers with the BMW Group, enabling them to explore the potential of becoming part of BMW’s local and global supply chain. With over 30 vendors participating, the event also featured one-on-one business meetings as an integral part of the programme.

This collaboration between BMW and Malaysian suppliers is a game-changer for the country’s automotive sector, driving growth across various specialties.  Our focus on enhancing localisation efforts is evident, and partnering with BMW Group highlights our commitment to fostering an active exchange of information, particularly in deep tech and innovation. This event stands as a testament to the proactive strides taken towards positioning Malaysia as the ASEAN hub for automotive excellence, where industry players converge to drive growth and propel the nation to the forefront of cutting-edge automotive technologies.
