Investment, trade and industry minister Tengku Zafrul Aziz said the event, described as the “World Cup” of the microelectronics and semiconductor industry, saw the Malaysian delegation holding strategic meetings with investors in the electrical and electronics (E&E) engineering sector, including major data centre players.

In addition to its investment potential, Tengku Zafrul noted that the Malaysia Pavilion also garnered international attention when nine local companies showcased various high-tech products, including testing equipment, system solutions, and innovations in electronic waste management that align with environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles.

“These companies recorded annual revenue exceeding RM843 million, the majority of which came from exports to international markets.

“During the event, we also attracted buyers from Singapore, Japan, China, and the US, resulting in an export potential of nearly RM237 million,” he said in a video posted on Instagram Reels.

In another development, Tengku Zafrul stated that Malaysia has also held discussions with major companies from Singapore in the food and beverage sector, as well as fast-moving consumer goods, to explore opportunities for exporting Malaysian-made halal products to the country.

He said the discussions opened the door to additional export potential worth RM270 million.

“This is a golden opportunity for Malaysian producers to penetrate the Singaporean market, with a total potential investment of RM4.6 billion and export potential of RM507 million,” he said.
