HOW
The Johor Singapore Special Economic Zone (JS-SEZ) is a strategic partnership established through an agreement exchanged between governments of Malaysia and Singapore on 7 January 2025.
It aims to elevate the economic potential of both nations by fostering bilateral economic cooperation and leveraging their respective comparative advantages: Malaysia's land and labour resources, and Singapore's financial and investment capabilities.
Spanning 3,588 square kilometres, JS-SEZ is strategically located in the southern Malaysian state of Johor, integrating the regions of Iskandar Malaysia and Pengerang, with 9 flagship zones, each with its own targeted economic sectors.
The key objectives are to:
- Promote economic integration by enhancing cross-border business collaboration
- Facilitate freer movement of people and goods across borders
- Strengthen the regional business ecosystem by attracting high-value-added investments
- Swedish companies looking to take advantage of the capabilities presented by both countries in the JS-SEZ can explore potential business opportunities in the zone, as well as to identify potential logistics networks presented by the zone.
