The Event                                                                       

Your are cordially invited to attend a joint event to celebrate both the launch of the UK Soft Landing Zone in Malaysia (KL) and to network with fellow professionals in Malaysia who are interested in establishing joint ventures, partnerships or research collaborations between companies in the UK and Malaysia.

The term ‘soft landing zone’ refers to a pre-prepared work environment located in a foreign county, tailored to the needs of companies seeking to do business within that specific location. The soft landing zone Malaysia is a safe and welcoming environment for companies who are at the early stages of trading in Malaysia. The office is located within the Multi-Media Development Corporation (Cyberjaya) and is run in close partnership with the MDeC.
