Malaysian Investment Development Authority (MIDA)

MIDA is the Government’s principal investment promotion and development agency under the Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI) to oversee and drive investments into the manufacturing and services sectors in Malaysia. The establishment of MIDA in 1967 was hailed by the World Bank as “the necessary impetus for purposeful, positive and coordinated promotional action” for Malaysia’s industrial development. Today, MIDA has grown to become a strong and dynamic organisation of over 700 employees. Headquartered in Kuala Lumpur Sentral, MIDA has 12 regional and 20 overseas offices. Germany is among Malaysia’s largest source of foreign investments from the EU in the manufacturing sector. Malaysia is currently the home to more than 300 German manufacturing companies ranging from small and medium-sized enterprises all the way up to large multinationals. Besides manufacturing, more and more companies have made Malaysia a hub for their global operations and regional establishments. MIDA continues to be the strategic partner to businesses in seizing the opportunities arising from the technology revolution of this era.
