Time: 6.11. at 9:00-11:00 Finnish time

As one of Southeast Asia’s fastest-growing economies, Malaysia is recognized for its strategic location, robust infrastructure, and diverse business opportunities across various sectors, from manufacturing to technology and services. With a growing digital economy and a pro-business environment, Malaysia continues to attract both domestic and international investors.
Join the Finland-Southeast Asia Business Association for an inspiring session where we explore the thriving business landscape of Malaysia through the lens of the Embassy of Finland, Business Finland and two successful company cases: Sandvik and Peikko. In 2023 Sandvik announced an investment in a new production unit in Malaysia for manufacturing underground loaders and trucks worth over 30 MEUR, and construction supplier Peikko opened a 10 MEUR factory in Malaysia in 2023.
Success Stories in Malaysia will illuminate the journeys, challenges, and achievements that the companies have experienced in the market and what to look for when entering Malaysia.
