Melaka CM says RM227.8m set aside to develop German Technology Park

Melaka CM says RM227.8m set aside to develop German Technology Park

28 Feb 2025

Melaka has allocated RM227.8 million to develop the German Technology Park (GTP) on a 169.42-hectare site in Bandar Hijau, Mukim Ayer Panas. 

Chief Minister Datuk Seri Ab Rauf Yusoh said the project, to be developed in two phases, would accommodate 20 to 30 investor companies, particularly local firms, and contribute to the state’s sustainable economic growth. 

“This project will be implemented in two phases. The first phase includes the development of industrial land lots, commercial premises, leisure centres, and worker dormitories, expected to be completed in 2027. 

“The second phase will complete the GTP with additional industrial lots, business complexes, and logistics hubs to support industry needs,” he told reporters after officiating the GTP groundbreaking ceremony here on Friday.

Also present was Deputy Exco for Investment, Industry, and Technical and Vocational Development (TVET) Datuk Khaidhirah Abu Zahar. 

Ab Rauf said the GTP would focus on research and development-based industries and serve as a key platform for innovation and technology in Melaka. 

He said the project aligns with the federal government’s ambition to position Malaysia as a high-tech and sustainable industrial hub by 2030. 

“The GTP is also expected to be a major catalyst for investment inflows and industrial sector growth, strengthening the socio-economic ecosystem and establishing Melaka as a prime destination for high-impact industrial investments. 

“More than 10,000 job opportunities are expected to be created, helping Melaka build a highly skilled local workforce,” he said. 

Ab Rauf added that the state government remains committed to attracting future investments by developing new industrial zones to draw investors from diverse sectors. 

Alhamdulillah, Melaka secured RM8.18 billion in approved investments last year, RM2.2 billion higher than in 2023. 

“This increase reflects the rapid growth of Melaka’s investment sector and the continued confidence of investors,” he said.
