MSIA - Malaysia Semiconductor Industry Association

Day 1 - SME MNC Connect

Grow Local, Compete Global!

The SME-MNC Connect Day is a strategic platform designed to support Malaysia's NSS through localisation and collaboration with MNCs.

This initiative aims to link local companies and global semiconductor companies, particularly in areas such as emerging technologies, sourcing requirements, supplier qualification processes, and supplier development pathways. In addition, there are presentations pertaining to semiconductor advance packaging.

Day 2 - SME Financing Conference

The SME Financing Conference session aims to connect local semiconductor industry players with funding partners from government agencies, financial institutions, and the private sector. The session is designed to increase visibility among SMEs and the semiconductor value chain on available financing solutions, while supporting supplier development and advanced packaging opportunities aligned with Malaysia's NSS—driving SME growth and scaling them to compete globally.

For the detailed agenda and programme schedule for each day, please refer to the respective Day 1 and Day 2 tabs in the Programme section below.
