The programme brought together top Malaysian leaders Malaysia Semiconductor Industry Association (MSIA), Malaysia Investment Development Authority (MIDA), including the Deputy Chief Minister of Penang and the High Commissioner and Deputy High Commissioner of Bangladesh to Malaysia. In his remarks, YB En Jagdeep Singh Deo, Deputy Chief Minister II of Penang said that just as numerous global technology companies have established their presence in Penang, BSIA member companies are now stepping into this thriving ecosystem.

He highlighted Bangladesh's large pool of young and highly talented professionals, both at home and across the global industry, who are contributing to advanced semiconductor research, design, and innovation.

This roadshow proves that Bangladesh can collaborate, co-create, and contribute meaningfully to the global value chain."
