MIDA Secures RM4.68 Billion in Investment Leads from Japan At Expo 2025 Osaka

MIDA has attracted RM4.68 billion in potential investments through strategic one-on-one engagements with Japanese companies in Kyoto, Kobe, Osaka, and Tokyo. These engagements took place from 12-19 April 2025, were part of MIDA’s participation during MITI Week at the Malaysia Pavilion, Expo 2025 Osaka.

 

The sessions brought together eight (8) Japanese companies — namely Shizen Energy, Horiba Stec, Shimadzu Corporation, Sysmex Corporation, Screen Holdings, Preceed, Kanomax, and Hirata Corporation — alongside other prospective investors in smart logistics, chemicals, semiconductors, and green technology. These one-on-one engagements underscored growing interest in Malaysia as a regional hub for sustainable, high-value industries.

MIDA also hosted a dedicated seminar titled “Explore Malaysia 2025: Investment Opportunities in High-Growth, High-Value Industries – Green Investment Strategies”, which featured a keynote presentation by Mr. Sivasuriyamoorthy Sundara Raja, Deputy CEO (Investment Promotion and Facilitation) of MIDA. With 55 participants from leading Japanese companies, the session included experience-sharing by Nippon Electric Glass and attracted interest from industry leaders including ROHM Semiconductor, Kaneka Corporation, and Kasumigaseki Capital.

 

A notable highlight from the week was the formal handover of a manufacturing licence and MIDA’s approval letter to Taiyo Koko and Shizen Energy — a joint venture between Japan’s Shizen Energy, Malaysia’s Solarvest Holdings, and HSS Engineering — further signalling Malaysia’s appeal as a clean energy and advanced manufacturing destination.

 

These engagements support Malaysia’s broader ambitions under the National Investment Aspirations and the New Industrial Master Plan 2030, positioning the nation as a forward-looking partner for sustainable and innovation-driven growth. The strong bilateral outcomes also reflect Malaysia and Japan’s long-standing economic ties, built on mutual trust, technology collaboration, and shared commitment to green transformation.
