Malaysia delivered a strong showing at IGEM 2025 with MIDA securing RM7.3 billion in potential green investments through 38 high-impact business-matching sessions, reinforcing the nation’s position as a rising clean energy hub in Southeast Asia.

Datuk Sikh Shamsul Ibrahim Sikh Abdul Majid, MIDA CEO, said: “IGEM 2025 marks a pivotal moment for Malaysia’s green transformation. These investments reflect global confidence in our sustainable industrial ecosystem, aligned with the MADANI Economy Framework, the New Industrial Master Plan 2030, the National Energy Transition Roadmap and the Green Investment Strategy (GIS).”

A key highlight was the strategic MoU between MIDA and Maybank, which opens new pathways for green financing and strengthens support for high-value sustainable projects. This collaboration enhances investor access to capital for renewable energy, energy efficiency and ESG-driven technologies.

MIDA’s Biz Bridge initiative, co-organised with the Malaysian Photovoltaic and Sustainable Energy Industry Association (MPSEA), connected global data centres, renewable energy players and sustainable manufacturers.

Mr. Ir. Justin Sim, MPSEA President, emphasised that collaboration remains crucial, adding that Biz Bridge strengthens industry linkages, speeds up the adoption of green technologies, and further elevates Malaysia’s role as an emerging clean energy hub in ASEAN.

By showcasing Malaysia’s GIS and incentives such as GITA and GITE, MIDA reaffirmed the message: Malaysia is open for high-value, sustainable investment.
