SBF Business Mission to Penang, Malaysia (21 – 24 Feb 2012)
The Singapore Business Federation (SBF) and Invest Penang will be organising a business mission to Penang, Malaysia on 21 – 24 February 2012.
Background:
Penang has recently rebranded itself as a location of choice for investors and destination of choice for tourists. Penang is the top investment state in Malaysia in 2010 drawing investments from all over including Singapore. For the first 8 months of 2011, Penang secured RM 3.7 billion or 19% of
Malaysia’s total FDI besides the domestic investment of RM 1.1 billion. There are 7 key factors
that account for our success as a location of choice for investors:-
1. Ready availability of human talent;
2. Effective and efficient supply chain management
3. Competent & reliable logistics and communications hub
4. Strong Intellectual Property protection
5. Good, non-corrupt, governance and effective leadership
6. Building creativity and innovation in science and technology, and
7. Livable and safe city environment.
