On 3rd September, a delegation of 35 participants from AAIS embarked on a day trip to the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone (SEZ), an initiative developed by Singapore and Malaysia to strengthen cross-border economic collaboration.
In the morning, the delegation visited Nusajaya Tech Park (NTP) Sales Gallery, where they received a briefing from CapitaLand on the latest developments in the park. The briefing provided valuable insights into NTP’s masterplan, its integrated park ecosystem, and notable case studies of businesses that have successfully established operations within the park.
A highlight of the morning session was the facility visits to Barnes Airmotive Malaysia and GKN Aerospace, both located within Nusajaya Tech Park. Participants had the opportunity to step onto the shop floors, observe key operational processes, and engage directly with company representatives. Through the briefing and guided tours, participants gained valuable insights into each company’s capabilities, ongoing developments and new technologies.
In the afternoon, the delegation attended a networking lunch event held at Horizon Hills Golf & Country Club. Organised jointly by AAIS and its counterpart, Malaysia Aerospace Industry Association (MAIA), and sponsored by Ernst & Young and iConn Technologies, the networking lunch kicked off with welcome remarks from the MAIA President, Naguib Mohd Nor, AAIS Chief Executive, and the Guest-of-Honour, YB Lee Ting Han of the Johor State Executive Council. During lunch, participants engaged in active networking and discussions around cross-border business opportunities. The session also included insightful presentations from IRDA and EY, who spoke on topics such as tax policies, incentives, and business prospects within the Johor-Singapore SEZ.
We extend our appreciation to our speakers and facility tour hosts, our collaborators, our networking sponsors, as well as participants from the AAIS and MAIA membership for an engaging and elucidating visit.
