THE Board of Investments (BOI) promoted business opportunities in the Philippines to Malaysian and international firms at a recent expo and forum in Kuala Lumpur.
The agency attended the 6th Selangor Investment and Industrial Park Expo (Spark 2026), held Oct. 14-17 at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Center.
Organized by Invest Selangor Berhad as part of the Selangor International Business Summit 2026, the event brought together investment promotion agencies, industrial park developers, and business representatives to discuss industrial development, cross-border investments, and regional cooperation.
The BOI joined other government investment promotion agencies at the Philippine Pavilion, presenting priority industries, investment incentives, policy reforms and potential investment locations outside economic zones.
Its presentation provided a national overview of the investment environment, complementing the location-specific opportunities offered by other Philippine agencies.
The four-day expo also allowed the BOI to meet directly with potential investors and discuss possible business partnerships.
Tengku Amir Shah, the Raja Muda or crown prince of Selangor, visited the Philippine Pavilion, where members of the delegation welcomed him and toured him around the exhibition.
The BOI also participated in the Philippine Business Forum, organized by the Philippine Trade and Investment Center in Kuala Lumpur, to discuss investment opportunities with Malaysian businesses.
The agency said it would follow up on investor interest and pursue opportunities to strengthen economic ties between the Philippines and Malaysia.
