Kuala Lumpur, 6 November 2025 — The Malaysian Investment Development Authority (MIDA), together with the Department of Federal Territories and Investment Promotion Agencies of the Central Region’s states, is gearing up for its flagship Central Region Programme 2025, themed “Innovating Industries, Connecting Markets”.

Taking place from 11–12 November 2025 at Royale Chulan Kuala Lumpur, this event will 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.

Encompassing Malaysia’s highly dynamic corridor – The Federal Territories, Selangor, Negeri Sembilan, and Melaka – the Central Region contributes nearly half of Malaysia’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and anchors key industries from electronics and automotive to logistics and digital technology.

Datuk Sikh Shamsul Ibrahim Sikh Abdul Majid, Chief Executive Officer of MIDA, said, “The Central Region Programme reinforces our 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.”

Programme Highlights

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 (4) priority industries (Electrical & Electronics, Aerospace, Pharmaceutical and Food Manufacturing), 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.

Advancing Regional Industrial Growth

Through this initiative, MIDA and its Central Region partners aim to deepen supply chain integration, enhance talent readiness, strengthen regional linkages, and empower local industries to move up the value chain. 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.
