Kota Kinabalu: Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor has urged investors and business leaders attending the Sabah International Expo 2026 (SIE2026) to explore opportunities in Sabah’s Blue Economy.
He said opportunities included sustainable fisheries and aquaculture, marine biotechnology, maritime services, tourism, marine renewable energy, logistics, shipbuilding and repair.
“With the right investments, technologies and partnerships, Sabah can develop a more dynamic and sustainable Blue Economy, creating new industries, generating employment and opening up new sources of income for our communities,” he said.
