Foreword
YAB Dato’ Seri Amirudin Bin Shari
Welcome to Selangor Darul Ehsan, the economic powerhouse of the nation. Selangor remains the largest economy of Malaysia by contributing nearly 25% to the national Gross Domestic Product (GDP), every year marking the state as the main economic driver of the country hence the moniker ‘Golden State of Malaysia’.
As the driving force of Malaysia’s economic growth, Selangor is taking up the challenge of consolidating and spearheading the country toward more dynamic networking and integration of businesses. Selangor invites all of you to consider us as your regional hub and to utilize our comparatively advanced ecosystem to expand your business in the region.
Our golden state is also home to two international airports, namely the KLIA 1 and 2 and Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport; to the main seaport of Malaysia, Port Klang, the 12th busiest seaport globally and over 200 industrial estates or parks throughout the state.
In coping with vast industrialization, Selangor has the highest cosmopolitan workforce with 3.6 million people working in various sectors. Highly skilled, talented, and multilingual workers are the foundation of Selangor’s economic growth, equipping it with the adaptive flexibility to manage technological and economic changes, with over 160 institutions of highest learning producing approximately 40,0000 graduates manually.
The global health crisis in the past two years has put a spanner to the continuous economic growth of Selangor. Now the state is ready to remark on a new journey to refresh and rest the state to face the current post-pandemic challenges.
In strengthening both our social and economic progression, Selangor has launched a 5-year master plan, the Rancangan Selangor Pertama – RS-1. The RS-1 framework will offer a strategic and holistic approach with a vision to be a state that is liveable, prosperous, and smart by 2025. This will be done by strengthening the economy, enhancing social inclusivity and well-being, advancing sustainability as well as advocating smart and effective governance.

It is also an initiative to set the state as the preferred regional investment and global trading hub.
We aim to transform Selangor as the gateway to ASEAN for international businesses, and Selangor International Business Summit will help brand the state as a prominent player in the Southeast Asia region. With more initiatives and programs included in this year’s edition, we believe that participants will leverage the vast, thorough opportunities and potentials moving forward.
It has been a platform for ASEAN and international businesses to explore the massive potential and serve as a springboard to tap into the broader ASEAN market, home to over 600 million consumers and more than 200 of the world’s largest companies.
Thank you, and have a pleasant stay in Selangor.

Welcome to SIBS 2022!
Selangor International Business Summit (SIBS) has been growing by leaps and bounds since its inception as the Selangor International Expo in 2015, with the aim of positioning Selangor Global Trading Hub as the Gateway to ASEAN.
Due to the Covid-19 outbreak, the Selangor International Business Summit (SIBS) was pivoted into a hybrid exhibition last year. We organized 6 event components; Selangor International Expo (F&B), Selangor International Expo (MEDIC), Selangor Industrial Park Expo (SPARK), the Selangor ASEAN Business Conference (SABC), Selangor Smart City and Digital Economy Convention (SDEC), and parallel event, Selangor International Culinary Festival/ SIBS2021 had over 494 exhibitors and 25,410 visitors, making it a successful summit post-pandemic.
SIBS 2022 will again be hosted at Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre, Kuala Lumpur. In preparing the industries for the recovery period of post-Covid-19, the state agreed to use SIBS 2022 as a platform to share and discuss the challenges and the way forward. SIBS will continue with its six main events, namely; Selangor International Expo (F&B), Selangor International Expo (MEDIC), Selangor Industrial Park Expo (SPARK), the Selangor ASEAN Business Conference (SABC), Selangor Smart City and Digital Economy Convention (SDEC).
As Malaysia’s largest state economy, Selangor enjoys a highly developed infrastructure, an advanced commercial ecosystem, and a well-established investment haven backed by excellent state government support to help the business community operating here. While we are proud of this success, we would like to assure our partners that we will continue to give our commitment and work hand in hand with our partners to boost the state’s economy even further.
We aspired to create a bigger and better SIBS 2022 with each passing year as we are getting better at creating a more dynamic business platform for all.
We are confident that Selangor will continue to be one of the most strategic destinations to do business in South East Asia, providing the best and most conducive investment environment for local and foreign investors. We welcome everyone to collaborate and make Selangor a global trading hub.
