More than 550 European companies operate in Selangor, generating over RM51 billion a year. On 13th October, that network gathered at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre under the theme Bridging Innovation, Powering Progress.

 

Jozef Síkela, European Commissioner for International Partnerships, delivered the keynote, alongside YB Datuk Seri Johari Abdul Ghani, Minister of Investment, Trade and Industry, YAB Dato’ Seri Amirudin Shari, Menteri Besar of Selangor, YB Ng Sze Han, Selangor State EXCO for Investment, Trade and Mobility, and HE Rafael Daerr, Ambassador of the European Union to Malaysia.

 

Sessions ran across semiconductors and advanced manufacturing, critical minerals, supply chain and mobility, the green transition, digital and AI, life sciences and medical technology, and talent development, closing with a panel on the future of European business in Selangor.

 

“Behind those figures, we see people, jobs, local suppliers, technology partnerships and relationships built over many years.”

Kati Ferry, CEO, EUROCHAM Malaysia
