Semiconductor industry

Malaysia's semiconductor industry has a long history, and Penang is known as the "Silicon Valley of the East". Since the 1970s, it has embarked on the development of the semiconductor industry and successfully attracted international giants such as Intel, Micron Technology, and Western Digital to set up production bases. Today, Malaysia's chip packaging and testing capacity has accounted for 13% of the global market, demonstrating its important position in the semiconductor industry chain. The "National Semiconductor Industry Strategy" plan launched by the government has injected strong momentum into the industry.

Johor, with its superior geographical location and rich resource conditions, has become the first choice for Singapore's data center relocation. Technology leaders such as Microsoft and NVIDIA have invested in building data centers here, promoting the vigorous development of the local digital economy. At present, the total capacity of data centers in operation and under construction in Johor has reached 718 megawatts, and is expected to continue to grow. The first overseas digital free trade zone established by Alibaba here provides comprehensive services for small and medium-sized enterprises, helping the prosperity and development of the regional economy.

Malaysia has also made remarkable achievements in the field of new materials. By utilizing the abundant local natural resources such as wood and rubber, high-performance composite materials have been developed, which are widely used in automobiles, aerospace, construction and other fields. At the same time, in terms of new energy materials, Malaysia has also made breakthroughs in solar cell materials, lithium-ion battery materials and other fields. The entry of companies such as Xingyuan Materials and Enovix marks Malaysia's important layout in the field of new materials.
