PUTRAJAYA, Aug 12 — MIMOS Services Sdn Bhd (MSSB), the commercial arm of MIMOS Bhd, will spearhead a series of strategic initiatives aimed at advancing Bangladesh’s semiconductor and high-technology sectors.
This follows a memorandum of understanding (MOU) inked today with the Bangladesh-Malaysia Chamber of Commerce and Industry (BMCCI) to advance technology transfer, talent development, and research collaboration in the semiconductor sector.
MSSB said the strategic alliance marks a significant step in deepening diplomatic and economic relations between both countries, while laying a strong foundation for future cooperation in other emerging and high-impact technologies.
“These include the development of specialised training programmes for Bangladeshi talent in integrated circuit (IC) design, semiconductor technology, embedded systems, and product test engineering.
“It also helps with the facilitation of knowledge exchange and best practices between Malaysia and Bangladesh and the fostering of partnerships with local Bangladeshi companies to strengthen technological capabilities,” it said in a statement.
MSSB added that the collaboration will also prioritise talent retention within Bangladesh’s growing semiconductor ecosystem, ensuring the continuity of expertise and innovation.
This strategic partnership supports Malaysia’s national agenda to expand its electrical and electronics (E&E) footprint on the global stage and create new avenues for Malaysian companies to explore investment opportunities abroad.
“Simultaneously, it is poised to contribute to Bangladesh’s vision of becoming a high-income nation by nurturing a skilled workforce and driving industrial growth,” it said.
The MOU was signed by MSSB chief executive officer Mohamad Fauzi Yahaya and BMCCI president Shabbir Khan at Perdana Putra.
The signing ceremony was witnessed by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim and Bangladesh Chief Adviser Prof Muhammad Yunus, in conjunction with the latter’s official visit to Malaysia.
