Visit Malaysia with UKTI


international cluster plan west midlands programme

 

BUSINESSES INVITED TO JOIN A MARKET VISIT TO MALAYSIA

Malaysia remains an attractive target for British trade and investment. Close historical and educational ties (very many Malaysians study in and know the UK), a familiar commercial/ legal framework and the widespread use of English have all facilitated this process. An increasing number of British companies are beginning to see Malaysia as a natural hub for their regional business interests – something the Malaysian authorities are anxious to promote (in competition with Singapore).

 

UK Trade & Investment has identified the following priority sectors in Malaysia:

 

*      Aerospace (civil)

*      Agriculture, Horticulture & Fisheries

*      Construction

*      Education and Training

*      Environment

*      Financial & Legal Services

*      Healthcare & Medical

*      Oil & Gas

*      Power
