KEDAH ECONOMIC ADVANTAGEEconomic Advantages

Development Projects Across Kedah

Buoyed by the resounding success of having created and developed KulimHi-Tech Park, Kedah has spared no efforts and time in conceiving and planning more significant economic zones of highest potential that will benefit investors, businesses and Kedah workers. These new and thriving business opportunities are well distributed throughout Kedah in 8 economic growth locations within 5 priority areas.

All these new and existing economic zones are advantageously interconnected with expressways, highways, railways, airports, seaport as well as neighbouring Northern Malaysian states and Southern Thailand. With a superb international and integrated logistics network support, Kedah invariably facilitates business owners and operations to move their inward and outward freights easily, fuss-free and quickly
