OSAKA, Japan, Oct 14 (Bernama) — The Malaysian Investment Development Authority (MIDA) and the Japan External Trade Organisation (JETRO) signed a three-year Memorandum of Cooperation (MoC) yesterday, marking the final day of Expo 2025 Osaka. The agreement establishes enhanced mechanisms for bilateral investment promotion at a time when both countries are strengthening their economic strategies around sustainability and supply chain resilience.
Over the six-month duration of Expo 2025, MIDA secured RM12.79 billion in Japanese-led investment leads across semiconductors, renewable energy, medical devices, and advanced manufacturing—sectors that align with Malaysia’s New Industrial Master Plan (NIMP) 2030 and Japan’s Green Transformation (GX) and Digital Transformation (DX) initiatives. The MoC provides the institutional architecture to convert such interest into operational projects.
