Building exemplary collaboration between Malaysia and Taiwan’s complementary industries
According to Taiwan External Trade Development Council market development department deputy executive director Keven Cheng, the Taiwan Expo in Malaysia has attracted over 1,200 Taiwanese companies since its launch in 2017. This annual event has been highly successful, drawing approximately 160,000 visitors and generating more than US$400 million (RM1.7 billion) in business opportunities.
In today’s evolving global supply chain, Taiwan’s advanced technologies in AI, smart healthcare, and sustainability align closely with Malaysia’s development blueprint for the next phase of industrial growth towards net-zero emissions. There is significant potential for collaboration between both countries to build a sustainable, technology-driven future.
Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Malaysia representative Phoebe Yeh said bilateral trade between Malaysia and Taiwan reached US$39.1 billion in 2024, marking a historic annual growth rate of 38.5 per cent. Taiwan is Malaysia’s fourth-largest trading partner, and its investment in Malaysia more than doubled year-on-year during the same period, reaching US$1.29 billion. This makes Taiwan the seventh-largest source of direct foreign investment in Malaysia. Currently, over 1,700 Taiwanese companies have significant investments in Malaysia, underscoring the strong economic ties between the two partners.
At the launch ceremony, Malaysia External Trade Development Corporation’s China and Northeast section director Mazlan Harun said Taiwan’s expertise in semiconductors and advanced manufacturing aligns perfectly with Malaysia’s efforts to accelerate digital transformation and move up the value chain. He emphasised that the Taiwan Expo provides an excellent platform for enterprises from both sides to accelerate business matching, deepen exchanges, and jointly explore opportunities in regional and global markets for mutual growth and shared prosperity.
Most anticipated expo featuring the best of Taiwan
This year marks the eighth edition of the Taiwan Expo in Malaysia, an event that has garnered overwhelming support from 26 trade associations and chambers, including the Associated Chinese Chambers of Commerce and Industry of Malaysia, the Federation of Malaysian Manufacturers, the SME Association of Malaysia, and the Taiwan Chamber of Commerce & Industry in Malaysia. This strong backing from trade organisations reflects the deep grassroots ties between Malaysia and Taiwan.
During the launch ceremony, SME Association of Malaysia national vice-president Datuk Ada Poon said Taiwanese companies are renowned for their technological innovation and adaptive management; qualities that have propelled them to become global powerhouses. She said the Taiwan Expo is poised to enhance the competitiveness of companies from both countries and foster long-term cooperation, and the enthusiastic participation of industry players is encouraging and expected to elevate Malaysia-Taiwan economic and trade cooperation to new heights.
The Taiwan Expo 2025 will be held June 23 to 25 at Halls 4 and 5 of the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre. The three-day event opens from 10am to 6pm with free admission.
