Seminar Overview
On August 5, 2026, the Tokyo Small and Medium Enterprise Support Center will host a significant seminar titled,
"Malaysia Entry: From Consideration to Execution – Decision-Making Support Program." This event, aimed at SMEs in Tokyo, will take place at the Akihabara UDX Conference Center.
Purpose of the Seminar
As part of its initiative to assist local businesses in their international ventures, this seminar focuses on
Malaysia, a country that has attracted attention in the ASEAN market for its growth potential. Participants will gain practical insights into the current economic landscape, investment environment, case studies of companies that have entered the Malaysian market, and available public support programs that can facilitate overseas expansion.
Why Focus on Malaysia Now?
Malaysia has evolved into a hub for semiconductor and medical device industries, offering a solid infrastructure for businesses targeting halal-certified markets. Moreover, the mere one-hour time difference from Japan, combined with a business-friendly environment where English is widely spoken and well-established foreign investment incentives, makes Malaysia an appealing option for Japanese enterprises looking to expand their operations.
Recommended Audience
The seminar is tailored for businesses considering international expansion but unsure where to start, as well as those interested in the Malaysian market who may lack adequate local information. It will also benefit those seeking inspiration from successful case studies of companies that have successfully ventured overseas and those eager to leverage public support systems to bolster their international efforts.
Seminar Program
On the day of the event, various speakers will participate, including representatives from the Malaysian Investment Development Authority (MIDA), Invest Selangor, and expert consultants from Global Partners Consulting. Some sessions will be available online or recorded for accessibility.
