MIDA, in collaboration with TRX City today hosted prominent foreign chambers of commerce on a visit to TRX, KL\u2019s international financial district. The private event was attended by delegates from various chambers of commerce representing six of Malaysia\u2019s prominent trading partners; India, New Zealand, France, Japan, Australia and South Korea. This visit is part of MIDA\u2019s initiative to highlight investment opportunities in high-impact projects like TRX to the international business community.<\/p>\n
Datuk Azman Mahmud, CEO of MIDA said, \u201cMIDA sees TRX as a long-term profitable location for businesses to expand due to its excellent accessibility and connectivity to the vibrant ecosystem available in the existing city centre and the rest of Greater Kuala Lumpur. It offers exciting prospects for companies seeking to centralise their key functions in one location and streamline their global support services to enhance efficiency and productivity. By locating here, companies can be closer to an established supply chain and matured workforce. Given the strategic value propositions, MIDA expects many more multinational companies (MNCs) and local conglomerates to seize these budding opportunities and increase their competitiveness by setting up their operations in TRX.\u201d<\/p>\n
As the country\u2019s investment promotion agency, MIDA has long played an active role in promoting the establishment of regional operations in Malaysia. Recognising the rising trend of offshoring activities, the Principal Hub scheme was introduced in 2015 as part of MIDA’s initiative to make Malaysia a regional and global hub. As to date, MIDA has approved 26 Principal Hub companies from different industries such as electrical & electronics, food & beverage, oil & gas and consumer products. These approved projects will significantly impact Malaysia’s economy over the next 10 years by creating over 1,800 high value jobs and incurring RM16.8 billion in business spending.<\/p>\n
Datuk Azmar Talib, CEO of TRX City said, \u201cWe are excited to show representatives from foreign chambers of commerce a glimpse of KL\u2019s future that we are currently building. TRX will be KL\u2019s best international business address and the city\u2019s new central business district, backed by resilient infrastructure, sustainable features and liveable public spaces.\u201d<\/p>\n
A 70-acre development, TRX aims to strengthen Kuala Lumpur\u2019s position as a leading centre for international finance and business by creating a seamless and central business environment for financial services firms, MNCs and supporting ancillary businesses.<\/p>\n
To date, TRX has signed global property and infrastructure group Lendlease to jointly develop the Lifestyle Quarter; HSBC Malaysia, Prudential and Affin Bank Berhad for office towers; Indonesia\u2019s leading property developer Mulia International to develop the Signature Tower plot; Lembaga Tabung Haji and WCT Bhd for residential plots, and global leader in water management Veolia Water Technologies as the water treatment and recycling concessionaire.<\/p>\n
Awarded with Malaysia\u2019s first provisional neighbourhood-level GBI Township Platinum certification, TRX\u2019s masterplan combines sustainability, attractive public domains and great connectivity to create a world-class international financial district.<\/p>\n
