As an established player in the manufacturing, tourism, and oil, gas and petrochemical clusters, Pahang is at the forefront of growth and development in ECER. The state is expected to fuel economic growth by attracting an additional RM31 billion in private investments into its various economic clusters. This in turn will generate 52,550 job opportunities and create 23,090 entrepreneurial opportunities for the locals.
The state has a strong roster of international investors located in its key industrial parks, which include the Malaysia-China Kuantan Industrial Park (MCKIP), Pekan Automotive Park (PAP), Pahang Technology Park, and Gambang Halal Park. Pahang is also set to play a major role in accelerating the adoption of Industry 4.0 in ECER through the Asia Centre of Excellence for Smart Technologies (ACES).
With the expansion of Kuantan Port into a deepwater port to facilitate greater international trade, as well as the rapid development of ECER’s Logistics and Services cluster, investors can look forward to Kuantan as a major gateway to Asia Pacific markets.
