KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 21 (Bernama) — In the global race for green capital, Malaysia has emerged as Southeast Asia’s most compelling turnaround story. The Malaysian Investment Development Authority (MIDA)’s strategic initiatives at IGEM 2025 signal a nation hitting its stride: RM7.3 billion in potential investments, 38 high-stakes business matchmaking sessions, and a game-changing alliance with Maybank that could reshape the region’s clean energy landscape.
“IGEM 2025 marks a pivotal moment in Malaysia’s economic transformation,” states Datuk Sikh Shamsul Ibrahim Sikh Abdul Majid, MIDA’s Chief Executive Officer. “The MADANI Economy Framework, the New Industrial Master Plan 2030, the National Energy Transition Roadmap, and the Green Investment Strategy – they’re Malaysia’s blueprint for capturing the USD1 trillion Asian green economy. The RM7.3 billion potential green investments we’ve generated demonstrates that global capital recognises what we’re building: a sustainable industrial ecosystem that creates value for investors while delivering prosperity for all Malaysians. This is how we turn net-zero ambitions into net-positive growth.”
