Dubai, 7th March 2022: Invest Selangor Berhad officially kicked off the Selangor Week at the Malaysia Pavilion in Expo 2020 Dubai. From 6th to 12th March 2022 at the pavilion, Selangor Week aims to not only position Selangor as the most advanced state in Malaysia but also provide a platform to strengthen its relations and share ideas with 192 participating countries. The opening of Selangor Week was also attended by His Highness Tengku Amir Shah Ibni Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah Alhaj, the Crown Prince of Selangor.
Selangor has always aspired to be the best investment destination in the region and in fact, it has been an economic powerhouse in Malaysia for over a decade. Selangor also keeps on developing favourable ecosystems for industries to set up their operations in the state. Selangor's strategic location with two major international airports and the ASEAN’s second largest container port (Port Klang), as well as having several advanced domestic rail, road and air facilities which links to economic centres within the country, makes the state one of the most attractive business hubs to connect investors to ASEAN and global markets. Additionally, Selangor also boasts about 3.6 million workforce, who are largely skilled and multilingual. At Expo 2020, Selangor’s strength and sustainability efforts will be at the forefront to push for investments in key priority sectors.
