Economics

Tiny semiconductors are the hidden engines in today’s tech marvels, from artificial intelligence (AI) to electric cars. The semiconductor industry continues to cram an increasing number of elements onto integrated circuits.

Malaysia’s economy is significantly propelled by the contributions of Global Business Services (GBS) and Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises (SMEs).

The evolving global trade landscape presents numerous opportunities for Malaysia to capitalise on. Penang, with its robust electrical and electronics (E&E) supply chain, is particularly well-positioned to attract multinational corporations and local businesses.

The Global Supplier Programme, originally launched in the late 1990s by the Penang Skills Development Centre (PSDC), has returned as a collaborative effort between PSDC and VAT Group.
