Strategically positioned in MVV 2.0 for regional and global reach

In the beating heart of Peninsular Malaysia lies a visionary development poised to redefine industrial success — SPD Tech Valley. More than just an industrial park, it is a forward-thinking ecosystem where environmental, social and governance (ESG) principles are built into every layer, from infrastructure to operational services.

Located within the high-impact Malaysia Vision Valley 2.0 (MVV 2.0) corridor in Negeri Sembilan, this managed, sustainable and smart industrial city is reshaping the way multinational corporations and high-tech manufacturers establish a presence in Southeast Asia.

It is where strategic connectivity meets future-ready infrastructure, giving investors not just a competitive edge in manufacturing but also the long-term assurance of operating in a sustainable, well- managed environment.

Negeri Sembilan: Strategic, connected and competitive

For investors seeking a base in Malaysia, location is everything and Negeri Sembilan offers a strategic advantage few can match. Situated at the very centre of Peninsular Malaysia, it serves as a natural crossroad for domestic distribution and international trade.

Factories here enjoy seamless highway links to Port Klang, Malaysia’s largest container port and Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA), a major ASEAN air cargo hub, in under an hour. The North–South Expressway and the Kajang–Seremban highway (LEKAS) provide direct, high-speed routes to markets across ASEAN, Asia and beyond, cutting transit times and enabling just-in-time production models.

This exceptional connectivity is further strengthened by cost- efficient industrial land, a steady supply of skilled talent and a pro-investment environment. Backed by the state government, Invest Negeri Sembilan and the Malaysian Investment Development Authority (MIDA), investors will benefit from streamlined approvals, coordinated infrastructure planning and a clear path from land acquisition to operational launch. Negeri Sembilan’s investment climate is also proven. The total approved foreign direct investment (FDI) from 2019 to December 2024 reached approximately RM24.1bil. This consistent upward trend highlights the state’s growing success in attracting global capital across diverse economic sectors, reinforcing its position as one of Malaysia’s fastest-rising industrial destinations.

Anchored by a thriving industrial ecosystem, Senawang Industrial Park and neighbouring zones such as Tuanku Jaafar Industrial Park are home to Samsung SDI, On Semiconductor, Nexperia, Toto, Trox, Kibing Group, Stanley Engineered Fastening, Baerlocher, Kokuyo and more, solidifying the region’s reputation in electronics, semiconductors and precision manufacturing.

Negeri Sembilan’s central position also places investors within close reach of industrial clusters in Selangor, Melaka and Johor, enabling synergy with suppliers and customers, shortening supply chains, reducing costs and accelerating time-to-market, which are all decisive advantages in an era where speed and efficiency define competitiveness.

The park offers ready-built detached factories and built-to-suit industrial land, catering to medium and smart heavy industries.

Malaysia Vision Valley 2.0: A vision of scale and sustainability

SPD Tech Valley stands at the heart of MVV 2.0, a transformative development spanning 379,086 acres across Seremban and Port Dickson. This high-impact growth corridor is designed for intelligent, resilient expansion, prioritising sustainable development, smart infrastructure and innovation-driven industries.

Since its revitalisation in 2018, MVV 2.0 has been recognised as a national priority, aligned with the National Industrial Master Plan 2030 (NIMP 2030) and the National Energy Transition Roadmap (NETR). It aims to drive sectors such as high-tech manufacturing, green innovation, education and smart tourism, contributing significantly to Malaysia’s GDP and creating over 600,000 jobs in the years ahead.

Beyond policy vision, it is backed by major infrastructure investments such as upgraded expressway interchanges, enhanced port connectivity, expanded rail cargo facilities and planned logistics hubs. The initiative also offers investment incentives, including pioneer status, tax exemptions and green investment allowances for qualifying sectors.

More than a blueprint, it offers a complete ecosystem. Planned industrial zones, robust transport links and residential, commercial and leisure amenities designed to support both business and workforce needs. Companies setting up here are not isolated factories but part of a connected, thriving community that attracts and retains talent.

A LEED Gold landmark for Southeast Asia

What sets SPD Tech Valley apart is its distinction as Southeast Asia’s first LEED Gold pre-certified industrial city and community. This 523-acre freehold development is master-planned to support power- intensive, high-value industries while embedding ESG principles at its core.

As an AI-powered, fully managed industrial park, it provides turnkey solutions that remove the complexity of building and maintaining facilities from scratch, saving investors time, cost and risk. From zoning to utilities, every element is designed to minimise environmental impact while maximising operational efficiency. The LEED Gold certification validates its design against global sustainability benchmarks and gives tenants a valuable credential in supply chains increasingly demanding ESG compliance.

Built for ESG and Industry 4.0

Innovation and sustainability are at the heart of SPD Tech Valley. The park is purpose-built for medium and smart heavy industries requiring high-capacity infrastructure and resilient utilities, offering industrial plots and GreenRE-certified detached factory designs of up to 34,000 sq ft, adaptable to suit diverse operational needs. Industry 4.0 infrastructure includes a 1 million sq ft intelligent warehouse, a centre of excellence providing technical and vocational education and training (TVET) tailored to client needs as well as centralised labour quarters (CLQ) housing 5,000 beds.

Connectivity and operational security are world-class, with high- speed fibre optics, 5G readiness and an AI-enhanced multi-tier security network with a global top-ranked security system, a 24- hour security command centre, an emergency response team and AI facial recognition for access control. Direct 275kV national grid connection with scalable capacity up to 200MW makes it ideal for energy-intensive sectors such as data centres, semiconductors, advanced energy manufacturing and EV component production.

By delivering this ready ecosystem, from utilities to workforce to security, SPD Tech Valley enables investors to focus on growth instead of infrastructure challenges.

Green design that drives business

At SPD Tech Valley, sustainability is a foundation, not an afterthought. The master plan incorporates solar power generation, rainwater harvesting, river water treatment and EV charging facilities, reducing both environmental impact and operational costs.

The park dedicates 79.95 acres or 15.3% of its total area to green spaces to enhance biodiversity and create a healthier working environment. Landscape irrigation needs are met with 100% harvested rainwater, eliminating reliance on treated water. Building designs and systems aim for a 15% reduction in total energy consumption and a 50% targeted reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.

Energy sustainability is powered by 64 MW of on-site solar capacity, enabling tenants to achieve up to 15% savings on electricity bills through renewable generation. To further encourage green adoption, SPD Tech Valley also facilitates access to preferential green loans for certified facilities, supporting tenants in meeting ESG goals while optimising operational costs.

Sitting 70 metres above sea level, the site also benefits from a natural safeguard against flooding, providing long-term resilience for manufacturers and supply chains. These measures align with global frameworks such as UNIDO guidelines, the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and Malaysia’s NETR and NIMP 2030 targets, ensuring operations remain future-proof and ESG-compliant.

Global investors are taking notice

In August 2025, SPD Tech Valley secured a landmark investment from Hunan Yuneng New Energy Battery Material Co Ltd, one of China’s leading battery material producers. With an RM560mil commitment, the company will establish a lithium iron phosphate (LFP) cathode material plant with an annual capacity of 90,000 tonnes.

Targeted for completion in just 15 months, the project showcases the park’s ability to support large-scale, fast-track industrial developments. This milestone strengthens SPD Tech Valley’s role in the new energy sector and reinforces Negeri Sembilan’s emergence as a preferred base for advanced manufacturing in Southeast Asia, sending a strong message to global markets about the park’s readiness to deliver.

SPD Tech Valley is more than an industrial park. It is a purpose-built ecosystem for the future.

As Southeast Asia’s first LEED Gold-certified industrial city and community, its goal is to create a future-ready, ESG-centric industrial platform that offers more than land but solutions as well. Streamlining every step of your industrial journey SPD Tech Valley’s one-stop centre gives investors a single point of contact for every stage of their setup, from regulatory approvals with MITI, MIDA, SSM and EIA, to customised, turnkey factory construction.

It also provides business setup, compliance advisory and local sourcing connections, ensuring operational readiness from day one. Sustainable infrastructure offerings include a solar roof package to cut energy costs and boost ESG performance and an in-house river water treatment plant for a green, cost-efficient water supply.

By combining expert guidance, cutting-edge facilities and green innovation, the one-stop centre enables investors to save months in setup time and reduce upfront costs, ensuring their journey from vision to production is faster, smarter and more sustainable.
