Malaysia is set to leverage the upcoming ASEAN Semiconductor Summit (ASEMIS) 2025 to advance the ASEAN Framework for Integrated Semiconductor Supply Chain, strengthening the region's role in global technology security, said Investment, Trade and Industry Minister Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Abdul Aziz. He said the world is at a critical juncture, with semiconductors becoming indispensable across multiple industries, and ASEAN is uniquely positioned to rise as a global hub. 'With a growing number of industries requiring semiconductors as key components, ASEAN is at a pivotal moment in history where it has not just the capacity, but also the strategic neutrality, to strengthen its positioning as the world's leading hub for semiconductors. 'I am confident ASEMIS 2025 will forge greater cooperation between the public and private sector which will enhance the already strong growth momentum of the semiconductor industry across the region,' he said in a statement today. The inaugural summit, themed 'Shaping the Future of ASEAN's Semiconductor Industry', will be held tomorrow in Petaling Jaya. Organised by the Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI) in collaboration with the Malaysian Semiconductor Industry Association (MSIA), the one-day event aims to position ASEAN as a leading global hub for semiconductor manufacturing, technological security and innovation. Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim is scheduled to deliver a keynote address. The summit will gather 500 participants, including policymakers, economists, industry analysts, sovereign fund representatives and corporate leaders from across ASEAN and Asia. MSIA president Datuk Seri Wong Siew Hai said the event would offer delegates opportunities to connect with key decision-makers and industry captains, facilitating collaborations that can drive ASEAN's competitiveness. 'We are pleased to partner with MITI in organising ASEMIS 2025 for stakeholders to network, gain strategic insights, and help curate the future of the semiconductor industry in ASEAN,' he said. The programme will also feature a panel discussion with industry association leaders from Malaysia, Singapore, the Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam, focusing on public-private partnerships and deeper regional cooperation.
